Please Stay Safe And If You Are Able To, Inform Yourself And Others

it's a beautiful day at the roman senate and you are a horrible goose

I think it’s right to emphasize that Palestinian men don’t deserve this and it’s also right to rally around Palestinian children, children being the most vulnerable members of any society and also being half of Gaza’s population

holy fuck.

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo 

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.

I don’t use Reddit because every subreddit I’d be interested in participating in has like thirteen layers of rules for constructing each post and comment so every time I try to get involved I immediately get mod booted for inevitably forgetting one of the necessary abbreviations, or because discussions about possible real-world ecological parallels and inspirations in Dune are not sufficiently related to Dune to be allowed in the Dune subreddit.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

Happy Holidays! Don't forget to grab a knife :)

NEED HELP PAYING BILLS
