I could have done with just an admission of fascism and without the sexual harassment. Consider eating glass

"The scion of a well-known banking family once told me a family secret. When a certain stage of responsibility and awareness has been reached by a young banker he is taken to a room lined with family portraits in the middle of which is an ornate gilded toilet. Here he comes every day to defecate surrounded by the family portraits until he realizes that money is shit. And what does the money machine eat to shit it out? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty and above all it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits out quantity. There was a time when the machine ate in moderation from a plentiful larder and what it ate was replaced. Now the machine is eating faster much faster than what it eats can be replaced. That is why by its nature money is worth always less. People want money to buy what the machine eats to shit money out. The more the machine eats the less remains. So your money buys always less. This process is now escalating geometrically. If the West does not start a nuclear war first their monetary system will fall apart through the inexorable consumption by the machine of life art flavor beauty to make more and more shit which buys less and less life art flavor beauty because there is less and less to buy. The machine is eating it all. The time must come when money will buy nothing because there will be nothing left for money to buy. Money will eliminate itself." - Minutes To Go, 1959. William S. Burroughs

Bro I'm not being a sensitive SJW here bringing out the word Nazi, calling someone a "degenerate drug addict" is actual real fascist rhetoric.

Hey I think there's plenty of reason to be highly (HIGHLY) critical of Burroughs but when you dismiss someone as a "degenerate drug addict" you literally sound like a Nazi. Without exaggeration. Like you might as well have called him a faggot while you're at it

Things are bad but not impossibly bad. I know trans women with adopted children, I know several trans women who work in education and childcare, and I've had the privilege of working with a lot of kids myself. I'm in a red state, and I don't always pass. If you are transfem and want these things, please do not lose hope.

the fucked up thing is that trans women basically aren't allowed around kids. at all. I don't know a single trans woman who spends almost any time with kids. which, y'know, sucks for trans women who actually like kids. I can think of plenty of adults I regularly spent time with as a kid who were the age I am now or even younger, but now that I am an adult, there are no kids in my life and maybe never will be because society is so horrifically transmisogynistic that basically every parent hears "trans woman" and thinks "pedophilic rapist" and wouldn't be caught dead letting their children interact with us

One small thing that genuinely makes me furious is streaming service auto play that you can't turn off.

Specifically when they just interrupt the credits to play a new entire movie I don't give a shit about??? No!!! I shouldn't have to panic and get up right as the credits start to stop this! That's a sacred time!! That's for sitting there with the last notes of the movie and reflecting with the music they chose!! Let it sink in!! I don't want More Content Immediately I'm not a toddler with the iPad taken away!!!

IS THAT WHAT THAT IS?? I always attributed me missing large obvious things to a story like: Living in an advertising world taught me that the thing trying the hardest to get my attention is generally worth ignoring

it sucks that even todo lists get affected by the adhd 'absorption of stationary objects into their environment thus leading to effective invisibility' thing

Farewell message to the rabbit that joined us in our yard for a full week as we moved into our new house.

I ate breakfast with it every morning, it chewing yard grass and I shoveling cereal before work. On the rainy days, I saw it in the same spot beneath a sturdy old tree every time I looked. I shared a very tender moment with it watching it dig a nice bed in the shade and lie down, lazily nibbling at grass leaves. My attention moved elsewhere, and just a few minutes later my girlfriend came home from work crying, saying there was a dead rabbit on the road right in front of us, and she wondered if it was our friend. I tried to believe otherwise, but we didn't see a single bunny in the yard for days and days after this.

As I came outside to write this message facing the street, I saw a rabbit in the yard for the first time since the car incident.

What does it mean

[gwendolyn-amara]

On this reread of Rhinoceros I'm really struck by the lines where Bérenger blames himself for his friends turning fascist.

Like: If only I had been nicer to them!! If only I had been more patient and understanding!! We could have understood each other!!

Then you remember those conversations earlier in the play and the characters in question were *already* talking over him and self righteous and intolerant of any challenge to their ego.

And one of the big tragedies of the play is that Bérenger thought so little of himself that he was unable to see how so many people around him were perfectly primed to be receptive to fascism and how isolated he already was without even knowing it!!
