just seen someone criticize the divine comedy by saying that it's not relatable which is of course incommensurably stupid because relatability should never be the only criterion through which one can judge the validity and quality of a piece of work &c but also. just because you tedious unimaginative losers have never been on a journey to hell and purgatory with your long dead favorite writer doesn't mean others haven't. happened to me
Images from a time that never was
i love saying "get off my dick" even though i don't have one
i don't have a dick but you're still determined to ride it
I had a great idea for a post earlier and then I sat on my bed for 4 hours and scrolled on YouTube shorts????? And now I feel like I have to go on a yearlong cleanse so I’ve started it off by returning to my beloved/beloathed tumblr account. I feel like I’m taking a walk of shame back to my very greasy very crummy apartment in the city after spending the night at a trillion dollar hotel on the beach where they spit in your glass of wine before handing it to you

“So, when these gentlemen say, ‘You are utopians, you anarchists are dreamers, your utopia would never work,’ we must reply, ‘Yes, it’s true, anarchism is a tension, not a realization, not a concrete attempt to bring about anarchy tomorrow morning.’ But we must also be able to say but you, distinguished democratic gentlemen in government that regulate our lives, that govern us through the opinions that you form daily in your newspapers, in the universities, schools, etc., what have you gentlemen accomplished? A world worth living in? Or a world of death, a world in which life is a flat affair, devoid of any quality, without any meaning to it? A world where one reaches a certain age, is about to get one’s pension, and asks oneself, ‘But what have I done with my life? What has been the sense of living all these years?’”
— The Anarchist Tension, Alfredo M. Bonanno
Finally some good fucking news

they concluded that the rats were having fun partially bc the rats voluntarily initiated games, hopped around joyfully and teased researchers by pretending to come close and then skittering away. rats are Very Good
These scientists are getting grant money to play games with rats all day and that is just, living the dream.
Y’all I love rats I CANNOT

Hi you are literally incredible. I have no other words to describe how happy/absolutely insane your work makes me feel as an unhinged mag listener and Micheal enjoyer. Have a nice day :D
Ways to Live in Direct Opposition to Capitalism
I am by no means an expert in any of these things I’m gonna talk about, so keep that in mind! I am just making a compilation of things I know of that we can do to lessen the stranglehold the capitalist lifestyle has on us while enriching our lives, our surroundings, and the lives of others. Please add anything I miss or correct anything I may be getting wrong! Anyway here goes!
- Use what you have, fix what’s you can, make what you can, accept from others, thrift what you can, and finally purchase as a last resort.
- This is advice I have seen float around here a couple of times that can apply to a lot of things including clothing, furniture, food, and more besides. It’s meant to be done roughly in that order as it applies to what you’re wanting/needing/doing. It’s about preventing waste, promoting self-capability, having a heightened reliance on your community, and consciously rejecting the ingrained habit many of us have to just purchase things or services.
- Here’s where you can read about growing an indoor garden!
- Here’s where you can read about sewing things yourself!
- Here’s an online site for giving and receiving items for free!
- Here is where you can find a local Mutual Aid to get things from, learn skills from, give do, volunteer for, etc. (in the U.S.)
- Be politically active! (from a U.S. perspective)
- Vote for every election. Know your representatives and those who will be competing in the next election. Vote without ignorance and without falling for unfounded claims. While operating within the system that actively oppresses us will not bring about the future we want, it can serve as damage control (preventing worse candidates from taking office) and it can potentially create a national atmosphere more open to change.
- Here’s a good article about getting more involved in the U.S. political process.
- Here’s a site that will show you how to register to vote, when and where elections are held, and more!
- Here’s good advice on finding protests in your city!
- Here’s some readings on unionizing! It’s your legal right to unionize!
- Here’s a more user friendly site for learning about unions!
- Be active within your community!
- Developing strong, motivated, capable, knowledgeable, and inclusive communities is the ultimate way to combat the relentless and bleak present and future. When you’ve worked on the things above and have gotten good at it (or even if you haven’t gotten good at it yet), start spreading what you know and what you can do with others!
- Give your neighbors, coworkers, and friends some of the vegetables you’ve grown.
- Invite your community members to volunteer events.
- Talk to folks about how to vote, when you’re doing it, etc.
- Take part in Mutual Aids to teach what you’ve learned or whatever you may be an expert in! Invite neighbors, friends, and coworkers when you take part in the Mutual Aid!
- Accept your community. Take them for who and what they are. Discrimination is the enemy of cooperation. You have much more in common with everyone in your community than a single billionaire or corporation. We’re all passengers on this spaceship earth.
- Do it one step at a time!
- Obviously we can’t do all of these things at once. Do what you can when you can, and you’ll start to notice real change in your life!
- Our online communities where we talk about our visions and hopes are fantastic, but they have little impact if we don’t actually get up and do the real work that change requires.
- Want to be better, and keep hope for the future!
- Harbor and nourish that desire to be a better person and to be the change you want to see in the world. You need to be hungry for a better future if you plan to make it through the rough times when everything feels pointless and without hope. Reach out to others when you’re down, and be someone others can lean on when their lives get hard.
That’s it! Please interact with this, spread it to others, and add your own thoughts and ideas! It’s important that we do the real work to get the change we crave!
Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that don’t wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.
And people say stuff like ‘lol don’t you hate it when you look up in the middle of the night and see a spider on your ceiling’ like bitch (!!) i could have Nicholas II last czar of Russia hangin from my ceiling fan and i would be none the wiser
So I’m at a library in a town I don’t live in to spend time with my nieces and I go to the bathroom and see this sign.
They turned their old card catalog into free supplies people can discretely take on their own.
This is the coolest thing ever, a great way to help people without making them ask, and an amazing reuse of a card catalog. I’m seriously about to cry I love it so much.

This is probably the worst that anything has ever aged
lambdadeltacommunism
Soviet space program was so woke they literally had a dude named yuri
the fact that jk rowling spends quite literally all of her time sitting on twitter concocting fantasies about evil trans women coming to burn her at the stake and actively supporting and promoting fascism. and still has so much public support and so much financial backing and so much cultural influence… we have 8 movies a shitty play like 500 video games merch theme parks and now we’re getting a “decade long” tv show… aren’t you tired. i’m so tired. who cares about harry fucking potter it’s 2023 go read or watch or play literally anything else
the fact that when the game was coming out there were people who i know in real life, who i always considered to be sincere in their alliance to trans people and always were considerate of pronouns and shit, who were saying “lol fuck jk rowling but i wanna play the game” and not even considering for a second that that made them a bad ally. because of course they qualified it with “fuck jk rowling” which is all that matters. you can say fuck jk rowling all you like that means NOTHING. literally nothing. bro just stop vocally aligning yourself with trans people if you’re gonna behave like that. and you KNOW the same thing is gonna happen with this show, and probably on a larger scale, because tv is more accessible and more intergenerational than gaming.
