as we enter the start of a semester and the dreaded Hour of Making Friends us upon us... if ur ever at a loss for what to say in one of those weird social situations where you only vaguely-know people, one of my favorite questions to ask is "what is your favorite food crime." a food crime is like the food combination that you love that other people find revolting. press them to take it further than pineapple on pizza, that's rote. food crimes is a good topic that has many benefits as it turns out all people are degenerates and also it will give you some cool ideas to try out later in the privacy of your own degenerate kitchen

the other good thing to ask is "okay but has anyone here ever been someplace haunted" bc it turns out if you ask most people directly they don't believe in ghosts, but many people are like "oh yeah i lived in a haunted house. ghosts aren't real tho"

Torakitty got a ghoulfriend! Clawdeen Wolfie!

I had so much fun with this custom! Definitely had some hiccups here and there...pretty much right at the end which was a bummer... but I'm obsessed with her! I have a couple more MH X LPS customs I'm itching to start when I get the time!

It really does look like pivoting to Harris has thrown the Republican party for a loop. She's speaking clearly, concisely, and with wit; if she were to be put in the ring with Trump, it would be a knockout if only because she's coherent.

I'm voting blue regardless, but I've started to feel like I've moved from voting for the 'least bad' option to someone I might actually be more passionate in supporting.

you need to get on that semolina (big grain) grind man if you need to eat and want something so quick. you don't even have to use a pot man you put that shit in the bowl you eat from. salt pepper cumin if you fancy & olive oil. boiling water on it til it covers the grains. wait 3-5 minutes. boom. endlessly versatile. just had mine with roasted vegetables from yesterday and fried egg on top but I also had it with sundried tomatoes and arugula salad earlier in the month. more or less the same macronutrients & calories per serving as pasta but even less effort because you don't gotta use a pot and watch and cook for 10 minutes. get on that big grain semolina train it's so easy and quick.

hi! I don't really know if you can awnser this, but I really like fish.... but I don't know anything about them. I want to learn about them and stuff, but it seems so overwhelming!! do you have a starting point or any tips? tysm!!!!

hello fellow fish enjoyer :0 and honestly seeing a fish you like/ are curious about and researching about it (videos, articles, wiki, etc) is a good way to start!

this wiki article is another possible route/starting point I guess if you want more background; there's a few sections that talk about the different groups of fish/sea creatures (like are you interested in invertebrates or fish only, saltwater or freshwater, deep sea or coral reef fish, etc haha)

there's also museums and aquariums if you have access to them! aquarium websites will also usually have a section with what animals they have and little info blurbs about them.

blue planet 1 + 2 documentary series is also a neat watch/start as well if you don't feel like reading a lot at first!

(..actually thinking about it blue planet might've reinforced or started my deep sea fish obsession haha when I first saw it as a kid)

listen, i love dugga doo and his funky little song just as much as the next guy, but we gotta talk about that episode.

i’d like to start off by saying that i honestly don’t think there was genuine conscious malice involved. i don’t think rtd and juno dawson were sitting around a table plotting how to demonise the oh so evil palestinians. the reality is even worse.

i think they did actually want to make a statement, one that they perceive as being pro-palestinian. it came out like this because they are so entrenched in the mainstream liberal dogma of superficial concern for the oppressed and the glorification of “virtuous resistance” that has never accomplished anything.

this episode had real potential. the visual presentation was excellent. it could’ve been an deeply striking look at the resistance of the oppressed. but instead it facilely discarded all the nuance and rationale that exists behind resistance, particularly anti-colonial resistance, in favour of lofty ideals that don’t yield tangible results. at least not in the real world. maybe the doctor’s reaction could have made sense if it had been handled very, very differently. but the writers, living in some of the most privileged positions on earth, just couldn’t comprehend the depths of colonial and genocidal oppression on this scale. it’s somewhat ironic, because rtd is welsh and juno dawson is trans. the struggles they must face are real and valid. i have no doubt they’re painful. but living in the united kingdom as white people in the 2020s makes them some of the most privileged people on earth. that’s not to say they don’t face discrimination, but i think many people in the imperial core struggle to comprehend just how extremely dire the situation can be in a place like palestine. the darkest depths of life in gaza are far, far worse than the worst conditions in the uk. to comment on the validity of the struggle of a people facing an incomprehensible genocide is just hubristic. it’s self-centred. there’s an extremely flawed logic to it, based on a lack of understanding of *wink wink* proper sociopolitical theory.

so, no, i don’t think those involved are truly malevolent. they’re just ignorant, arrogant, and coming from a place of extreme liberal privilege.

here’s a short description of these kind of liberals:

they see suffering and injustice and oppression. they have the sparks of compassion in their hearts, they do become distressed by what they see. they are honest enough to dislike oppression, but too privileged to truly understand what’s required to stop it. in this view, violence attempting to end oppression is just as abhorrent as violence seeking to enforce it.

now, many, many liberals do really only care about suffering to the extent that they need to see it. i don’t think that’s what’s happening here. to address this topic in a way that’s supposed to be pro-palestinian shows that there is a deeper concern.

but…

peaceful “resistance” won’t get you anywhere. for a protest to even have merit, it has to be disruptive. for it to actually be effective, it has to provide a reasonable response to the extreme violence that it’s fighting against. do you honestly think anyone who is currently participating in the slaughter of children will be so moved by a song that they’ll just stop?

music and art are powerful. they can change minds. i’ve seen it happen. talking to people works. i’ve seen that happen, too. but it only works on those who have been passive. a person who hasn’t really thought things through or who hasn’t fully grasped the reality of the situation.

using creativity and conversation to build bridges are excellent tools that we cannot afford to discard. but they don’t stop oppression on their own, they only get more people to see it for what it is.

if you actually want to fix things, you can’t expect the oppressors to voluntarily lay down their arms. oppression and colonisation are based on dehumanisation.

how many oppressive systems have been thoroughly dismantled without violent resistance? all of the most commonly named “peaceful” revolutions were anything but.

the civil rights movement in the 60s and 70s. the gay liberation movement in the 80s and 90s. the labour movement in the 10s, 20s, and 30s. women’s suffrage in the early twentieth century and women’s liberation in later decades. the end of apartheid in south africa. the overthrow of various regimes in africa, asia, and latin america, and the protection of the vulnerable still living under those regimes. de-nazification in east germany. partisan movements throughout europe. kicking the english out of half the world. the move from feudalism to capitalism. in various places, the move from capitalism to socialism.

none of these things were accomplished through gentleness. if you think they were, you’ve been propagandised. every social movement in the west has only gotten real gains after displaying that they would become a real problem if their demands were ignored. anti-apartheid fighters were by no means pacifists. partisans did far more than distribute food, commit sabotage, and hide fugitives. they killed people to advance their cause.

trust me, i hate violence. i hate death. i don’t want people to be hurt or killed. i’m what you might consider radical because of love for people and peace. i want things to get better, so we’re in a position where peace is even a viable option. revolution has to be guided by love. but, also, refusing to fight back with equal vigour is what gets us crushed.

^ this is honestly what watching that ep felt like. “shut up sciencoid, with the power of… uh… not doing anything, we’re going to convince our genociders and colonisers to let us live!”

i beg yall to read theory. and learn decolonised history. only then can you really grasp even a shadow of understanding for the people who get the worst in these ultra-oppressive and often murderous systems and what’s truly necessary to overthrow them.
