This wild, wonderful, beautifully animated and heartfelt queer story started here

Tell your stories, kids, you never know how many people will thank you for it
*trying to flirt with a guy* I dig your look. I'd love to see you tied to a tree and made to bear the wounds of St. Sebastian. Completely obliterated from every angle *remembers the social contract and gets nervous* Like, the jacket for example, where'd you get that
remember kids steal from small businesses and vandalize them also
a fun day out is to go to your local mom and pop shop and do actions that will cost them hundreds or thousands of dollars
'oh but what about my uncle jakey and his small business where he treats all his employees nicely' i hope Small Business Jakey dies too
alright so obviously this post is a little glib and tongue in cheek but let me explain why i made it: the 'small business' has been mythologized in capitalist (and specifically usamerican) culture. this valorization often provides a convenient out for people unwilling or unequipped to criticise capitalism--e.g. you will see people making correct criticisms of capitalism and specify that they are levelled at 'big business' or 'megacorporations'--it's therefore an escape valve for the broader economic system of capitalism, serving as a 'good' sort of capitalism in comparison to 'bad' (global, corporatized, publicly traded) capitalism.
this in particular is me responding to a fairly common type of post downstream of this ideological tendency where a self-proclaimed 'leftist' or anarchist (!) will say something like 'it's cool and good to shoplift and steal (unless it's from small/inedependent businesses)'. this is of course absolute fucking nonsense, because 'independent businesses' exploit their employees just as much as any 'large corporation'--they pay them a wage for their labour (or labour-power, to be more Correct & Marxist about it), from which they reap a much larger profit than what they paid. this is fundamentally true of all capitalist employment relations and the elementary building block of the capitalist economy. even besides that: it's chiefly 'small businesses' that commit wage theft, and small business lobby groups fight tooth and nail against the minimum wage. small businesses exploit their workers like every business does. if you're a socialist in any meaningful sense, you must destroy the entrepeneurial myth in your head.
in conclusion: steal $560000 dollars in merchandise from your local small business and bankrupt it today!
when you defend small businesses or exempt them from 'be gay do crime' rhetoric you are v. simply running ideological defense for capitalism!
Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said "When the teacher forgets to assign homework" before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling. I don't understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head
maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??
i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of
That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that's blorbo from my memes 👍

genius.com needs to provide compensation to all of us stupid people who spent our childhoods googling “_____ song meaning” desperately searching for a crumb of context on niche music forums

another CraftyIntention’s pattern that i’ve been meaning to do for a while. a challenge, but a fun one!
"if you put too many people together they start shooting each other!!" that just sounds like usamerican projection, but okay
also: western lib: *sees an apartment building in a socialist country* western lib: is this a gulag??
i love the 'imagine the energy consumed by this building' because like. it's actually very clear and obvious that a building of many apartments will require less energy than the same number of detached houses, since it shares services and thermal inertia
imagine going to visit so many of your friends and they're like only a few floors away or maybe right next door
imagine the tenant's union that this kind of place can form 😍
The ideal living arrangement, according to the people on this post lmao
If you like this idea then go live there, go live that dream.
I personally will live like a human instead of a lab rat, I want to be able to go outside and touch grass and listen to the wind blow through the trees.
Usamericans are so suburbpoisoned they don't realize you can just. Walk out of an apartment building. You aren't stuck inside.
People on this website talk about creating self-sustaining communes and working together and making accessible walkable cities and then see a close knit community in China with walkable shops nearby to every home and call it inhumane
