Tony Hawk's Link's curse™

I still don't know how I survived this long without learning anything about Homestuck. I think one of the characters might be named Jake or John. I did learn recently about a knife backflip. Something about astrology. I'm assuming this is like the shitty internet comic equivalent of Fruits Basket. There's also some candy corn involved in various shapes.

This guy doesn’t pull any punches

Reblogging this version instead cause ppl think this is about trashing LOK.

And it ain’t. LOK was good despite all the bullshit nickelodeon kept pulling on the creators.

Hey btw I saw a video a while back where someone was filming a guy through his window in his own house to make fun of him so I decided to report it to Twitter, writing to them about how it’s illegal to record people in their own houses without consent (in America) and they actually took down the post despite it having more than 100k likes so basically point is: if you see someone being an asshole and posting people without their consent, report that shit for exposing private information, write a note about how it violates laws (in the u.s. it is illegal to record people where they have the expectation of privacy, (their own home, a bathroom, a changing room) laws on filming in public vary from state to state so look up your local laws) and if the content posted features you, threaten to sue them even if you know you don’t have the means to sue. scare social media sites into not allowing people to record others without their consent

If I remember my world history (9th grade), here's what we're taught about Egypt, maybe:

And then pretty much the twentieth century and the twenty-first is not mentioned again. No construction of the Suez Canal. No Suez Canal Crisis. No tense relationship with Israel. No Arab Spring. Although to be fair, I graduated high school before we were in the twenty-first century and there hadn't been an Arab Spring yet. But yeah there's no mention that these days, you can see the pyramids across the street from a Cairo Pizza Hut.

Like I guess it's reasonable to assume that time marches on and the country didn't just empty out or stop advancing technologically at the start of the Roman Empire, but American schools are lousy at talking about the rest of the world. We get one year of world history that tries to take us from the dawn of man to maybe the start of the Cold War.

Then we get an American History that's a sequel to middle school American history that tries to get us from the Civil War/Reconstruction to the start of the Cold War.

And then they don't offer history again until college. Social studies classes after tenth grade/sophomore American History II were civics Law and Government classes.

There is a problem with the education system here as well as with the individual people in it.

“This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it was written by a preteen, and most of such things posted publicly are fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it has a focus on character and relationships, like the style of a lot of modern fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it keeps referencing people and events with the assumption that the audience is already familiar with them, like how fanfic doesn’t need to rehash the source material)”

I’m not giving any examples of the first, because it’s strictly derogatory.

The second, that’s a lot of stuff by Lois McMaster Bujold; I’ve seen a few other authors described like that too, but this is the only one that a) I’ve read and b) I can think of right now.

For the third, that describes a good chunk of the “alternate history” genre; in stories where they don’t expect the audience to be familiar with what actually happened in that diverging part of history, you see it in how they describe the different “modern” that resulted.

You are not hiding this in the tags.

A friend once said to me "I feel like I'm not actually working at my job because there's so little to do" and I was like "the way I see it, if you can't sleep and you can't jerk off, you're at work no matter what".

And I just realized this gives me a new perspective on homelessness. There's a certain baseline amount of labor you're expected to do in public, finding places to exist unobtrusively, moving when the cops tell you to. No one is ever truly "off the clock" until they're in their own home, if they have one.

I'm sure Michel Foucault or somebody wrote about this long before I did.

Or to put it another way, if home is the "first place" and work is the "second place" then the removal of third places from society means that if you don't have a first place everywhere defaults to being a second place

If existing in public is a job then police are the managers, and calling the cops on someone for sleeping in public is, in effect, snitching on a fellow worker. I guess this functions as an explanation for why police unions "don't count".

sometimes I reblog stuff from people I’m not following and I feel like I walked into a store and just stole stuff and walked out.

Random sci fi bit:

Someone walks into a room announcing, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news…” and their alien friend spits water because the translator said, “I’m unhappily pregnant with new evil.”

told my husband i was feeling down, he walks out the room and comes back in wearing a shirt i never seen before that says "wife" with my pictures on it. 😭🥰
