me in the coal mine: oh no i lost my canary because it's so dark in here and i can't hear her singing :( i better light a match so i can find my little songbird!
Okay, good news first, it's quite a bit brighter.
Also, I located the canary, so that's a positive.
However,
"Notice: a story documenting thousands of cases of child exploitation, clear as day, out in the open, and the (to be clear, otherwise excellent) report doesn’t mention the word “crime” or “criminal” once. It’s presented entirely as a civil and bureaucratic process issue. The idea that any of these corporate execs flagrantly and knowingly breaking child labor laws and hiring 12yo’s would ever face prison isn’t even entertained as an option—much less a logical solution. For these corporations child exploitation is simply not a criminal risk, at all" x

"bread wetness" scale with a baguette on one side, a mug of beer on the other, and spaghetti right in the middle
I absolutely love this idea! The "bread wetness" scale with a baguette, a mug of beer, and spaghetti is so creative and fun.
It's great to have a visual reference for different levels of moisture in bread, and the inclusion of the beer and spaghetti really adds a sense of humor to the scale.
I can already imagine using this scale to rate different types of bread, from super crusty baguettes to soft and fluffy dinner rolls. And who wouldn't want to pair their bread with a mug of beer or a bowl of spaghetti?
Overall, I think this "bread wetness" scale is a brilliant idea that will definitely add some fun to any bread-related discussion. Kudos to the creator for their creativity and humor!
what the fuck

Since Wall-E knew how to repair himself, he knows how to repair each Wall-E corpse around him and chooses not to.
Imagine watching a movie about loneliness and new beginnings and the flaws of capitalism and going “wow i can’t believe this main character didn’t just put in the effort to repair the status quo” — the POINT of the MOVIE is that the Wall-E’s failed and were destined to fail because the corporations that built them chose to give up and abandon them (+ earth) so they could trap humanity in an inescapable monopoly. All of the Wall-E’s except ours are past any repair and must be past repair because they are a visual representation of the utterly failed previous system. FUCK you.

this legislative session, 12 anti-trans bills were introduced in virginia. 3 were intended to ban trans healthcare, 4 were forced-outing bills, and 5 would have banned trans people from sports. these are the same kinds of bills we've been watching pop up country-wide. but as of this morning (2/16/23) all 12 were defeated. it's obviously the bare minimum to ask for from a government, but it should still be celebrated. so many of us in virginia have been holding our breathes for weeks, and the relief we felt today was notable.
things feel grim right now, but there are still people out here fighting tooth and nail to keep our family safe, and we are loved, so there's your good news for the day
not to be a sociologist on main but the responses of like “of course high femmes don’t ‘not do anything,’ we put effort in through xyz means” don’t really do it for me. like instead i wanna ask why is the idea of sex that isn’t (physically) “reciprocal” morally reprehensible to you? why do you prioritize reciprocity over consent? why is laziness a bad thing, and why do you talk about leisure sex in terms of work? do you actually want to be doing what you’re doing?
anyway high femme 🤝 ace 🤝 sex worker solidarity because i really only see these kinds of conversations happening in the latter two spaces

every time someone says "i hate men" the saddest most pathetic boy you've ever seen's eyes swell up with tears. he picks up a bindle and starts walking with his head down, far away where no one will ever see him again
