“IT’S A SWORD, IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.” My favourite scene from The Hogfather. ___ See how this comic was made here.

Taylor Swift is honestly just like any other Taylor, but faster

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

hi psa: the second someone apologizes for being excited about something, that is the moment you start talking about it with 10x the enthusiasm because 100% guaranteed they have, at some point in their life, been shamed or told shut up or calm down about something that brought them joy and learned to apologize for taking up space and expressing themselves - learned to make themselves smaller- and that’s the absolute worst feeling in the whole world so please, the moment they apologize or say “I’ll shut up now”, you start talking about it for them, hype it up, encourage them to talk your ear off and participate in their excitement. We want their passion, we want their excitement, joy and love. We do not want to be stunted and bitter and angry like the ones who tried to stifle us, we want to foster and nurture the glow in their eyes and the sound of their voice speeding up with exhilaration

Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?

You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”

And, yes, of course, but… :)

However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.

Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.

It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…

And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.

If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]

Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.

The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.

Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.

The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.

That will kill all remaining life on Earth.

So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully

We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.

The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.

However, we make it run…

So we can make it STOP. Together.

How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

IMO you can't say anything coherent about most US-based right wing conspiracy theories without understanding how seriously the diehards in these movements believe in The Devil

the obvious question, "who benefits from maintaining this elaborate lie," does not stop people like Flat Earthers because many of them are young earth creationists who believe in powerful spiritual forces whose only goals are

1. convincing people that Christianity isn't true

2. the proliferation of largely symbolic Evil, which they enjoy tricking you into supporting

"tricking" people into believing the earth is round is enough of a goal for The Devil to go to all that trouble. if people don't believe in God's perfect little flat earth then they're also free to believe in things like evolution and the big bang

practicality and material concerns are usually irrelevant. the lie is worth maintaining because The Devil has near unlimited time, resources, and human servants, and his top priority is Getting You

What is Mahoyo or Witch on the Holy Night about?

If you're reading this, there's a decent possibility that you have been told to purchase Mahoutsukai No Yoru, aka Mahoyo, English title Witch on the Holy Night, when it releases for PS4 and Switch on December 8 (and Jan 27 for physical release in the United States)

But what is it about?

It's about her.

If you're familiar with Tsukihime or its fighting game series, Melty Blood, you might know Aoko as Shiki's beloved sensei, or as that weird chick who goes around in a plain white shirt and jeans and shoots beams out of every limb.

Mahoyo stars a teenage Aoko and her two housemates, Alice and Soujuurou.

That's them right there, above the young Aoko turning her arm into a railgun.

The girl on the right is Alice, a witch, while the guy on the left is Soujuurou, a new student at Aoko's school.

Aoko is a daughter of the Aozaki family of magi, sworn to keep the existence of magecraft a secret while training in the family business. Her housemate Alice is a friend of the family who is well-versed in witchcraft, and the two get along fine.

However, Aoko also goes to a school for ordinary people in the day, and it's there that her problems begin.

Country bumpkin Soujuurou enrolls in Aoko's new school with no idea how the big city works, and eventually, circumstances dictate that the responsibility for him falls on the student council president, Aoko.

Forced to take an ordinary (if pretty odd) person into their home, Aoko and Alice must contend with keeping him away from their magical lives, all while balancing school work, friends, and the occasional talk about boys.

I really deeply hate how the correct statement "using man-hating as a cover for transmisogyny is awful and you need to be able to recognize when that's being used as a dogwhistle" has somehow evolved into "misandry is real and that's why terfs are wrong" like no I don't think it is. Can we please retire Not All Men I can't do this
