While listening to Hobie's contemporary records an incredibly vital question comes up… does he know?
funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls
I think arts funding should be infinite and easily available to everyone. I think 13 year olds who only draw anime should receive funding to buy giant sets of copic markers and shitty local punk bands should receive funding for instruments and practice spaces and performance artists should receive funding for their weird and nonsensical projects
i understand your motives but its not realistic truth be told if you did give everyone this alot of people would let it all go to waste
I just learned that when gay sex shops were illegal in England a lot of them masqueraded as book shops in SoHo, and now I’m dying to know how Aziraphale might have reacted to patrons who may have mistook his shop for something else.
Kindly, and with directions to the bookshop they were actually looking for, around the corner.
(There is this part at the book, so it does happen often ❤:))
Aziraphale's cocoa was stone cold.
The only sound in the room was the occasional turning of a page.
Every now and again there was a rattling at the door when prospective customers of Intimate Books next door mistook the entrance. He ignored it.
Occasionally he would very nearly swear.
your advocacy for people with low empathy means nothing if you only focus on those who have high sympathy and compassion and are good at helping people and throw low empathy people who struggle a lot with those things under the bus
I cannot BELIEVE you guys actually signing up to netflix just because account sharing was banned. You need to learn about cool websites with many beautiful women who would love you message you and send you downloadable files.
I love hank green so much. I am full of feelings. I wish to give him a hug. He is a very fatherly squishmallow
I AM SO NORMALLLL!!!! SOOOOO NORMALLLLLLLL!!!!!!! season 1 riz was so silly goofy i can't get enough
My new stepdad reminds me a bit of Jawbone (without the drug problem) and now I can’t unsee it.
The impact Spiderverse has on art and artists is INSANE. Everyone is drawing, everyone is CREATING. From colour studies, to the art style studies, to making sona influenced by the movies' character designs. AI generated images are nowhere to be seen, and I hope they're going to stay buried in the uncreative pits they belong in... the world is in balance.
Seeing all the works are... WOW
If you're in an area that is suffering from wildfire polluted air, I just saw this on Twitter:
Bonus:
Here's a site I found that can tell you how to make these:
I was harassed by a police officer today for existing as a disabled person.
You don’t really think about these things happening until they happen to you. I have multiple invisible illnesses, three of which are heart conditions. I have a permanent handicap placard because of these illnesses. I am also a woman in her young 20s.
I don’t go out very often, but when I do need to go to a store, I use my handicap tag whenever I can. It’s not uncommon for my heart rate to get very high and erratic just from walking around a store. I become very symptomatic and feel faint a lot of the times. I use it for my own safety and for some sense of independency.
Today, I went Christmas shopping for my siblings. I used my handicap tag. I have had it for almost a year now so I’m used to the mean looks and comments from complete strangers because I’m young and I don’t look sick from the outside. I knew I didn’t have many spoons and needed to save the few I did have for in the store and to make it home.
By the time I got back to my car, my heart rate was high and I was having palpitations and feeling faint. Usually if I need to give myself some time before driving, I’ll pull out of the handicap spot and park somewhere else so it’s available for anyone else who needs it. I couldn’t even do that today. I couldn’t even connect my music, I had to just sit down and focus on my breathing and try to get my heart rate to break.
I hadn’t been sitting there for even five minutes when I heard a loud pounding on my window. I looked up and saw a police officer. I rolled down my window and before I even had the chance to ask what was going on, he demanded to see proof that the handicap tag belonged to me. Didn’t ask if I was okay. I was alone, afraid, and felt like my heart was a fish flip flopping in my chest. I was very confused and he repeated himself very aggressively and said if I did not show proof then he would have to ticket me. I told him that I have heart conditions, it IS my handicap tag, it was prescribed by my doctor, and asked what I could show him as proof. He demanded to see my drivers license and then said, “unless you don’t have one.” I told him everything I was doing, reaching over to grab my purse, reaching in to grab my wallet, all while he went on a tangent about how he could arrest me right then and there if he wanted to. I showed him my drivers license and when he saw that my name matched the initials on my tag, he simply said “okay” and walked away.
He did not approach anybody else in a handicap spot. There was somebody in the spot directly in front of me who was eating lunch while occupying the handicap spot. I made sure that he didn’t go harass them as well, but he just walked away and didn’t approach anybody else. I was so shaken up that I didn’t think to get his name or badge number so I can’t even file a formal complaint.
The only thing that I can think of is that I am a young woman who doesn’t look sick. I was afraid, embarrassed, and felt degraded.
There are so many forms of ableism that you don’t even have to imagine until it happens to you. All I can think about is how many other disabled people have had experiences like this?
Living with a disability is hard enough on its own — we don’t need strangers, or especially law enforcement, to make it harder.

The whole point of writing fascist characters as human beings is that real fascists are also human beings. If you think of fascists as somehow less than human you are falling into the trap of letting their mentality frame your worldview, thus legitimizing their course of action!
When you start looking at fascists as subhuman the debate becomes 'which group is actually subhuman and which is being unfairly maligned?' And personally I'm not fucking comfortable with that question being on the table ever.
#ADDITIONALLY #it makes recognizing fascist ideology in the people around you so much harder #bc if you know someone as a person #and a fascist isn't a person #then clearly this person can't be a fascist #or have fascist views #they're your colleague or your neighbor or your family member #they are way too human to be fascist
