Staying up late is not scary, the scariest thing is forgetting your dreams.

it kind of infuriates me that fight club is so good because of the fact that men who are exactly the wrong people who should be watching or reading fight club not only consider it among their favorite media but base their personalities on it. i’m not pro censorship or anything but straight men should have to end patriarchy first before they are allowed to like fight club

Something terrifying about the way censorship is just straight up happening right now and they're barely trying to pretend that isn't what it is. The UK rolling out the Online Safety Act which forces anyone accessing 'adult' content (including discord, LGBT+ forums, various resources for drug addicts etc.) to share their face and ID with American third party companies, and refusing to debate a repeal in parliament despite 300,000 signatures on their own website to do so. Something fishy going on with Google docs suddenly deleting/restricting content. Itchio and Steam suddenly deleting 18+ games including both porn games and horror games at the behest of Mastercard.

Like. Truly in the past month the censorship is hitting like a truck and we're all just supposed to be fine with it. Like. It's genuinely making me feel sick.

ideal living situation is what i call the 'sitcom special' : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

I feel like it hasnt really sunk in that ai is like, actually here and people are like, actually using it, and are going to actually keep using it for the foreseeable future. I really thought that people would wake up or it would crash and burn by now I guess we just have to like, actually kiss goodbye to truth and knowing what is real and what is not on a mass scale that is no longer a silly internet joke anymore

Waking up from your decade long enchanted sleep to learn that, not only is sharing your True Name with the fae okay now, but there's actually a rule against using a false name when entering the faerie market.

Your friends admit that this causes some problems— it's way easier to fall victim to a false deal, or get stolen away now— but everyone goes to the fae market to buy their goods so what are you gonna do? Not see your friends? Go out of your way to buy more expensive stuff from the human market? Yeah right.

Also yes they still perform their light-footed fluttering dances under the silvery light of the full moon, but in order to get in you have to first watch the dancers perform two short plays about why you should shop at certain local businesses. Also if you want to talk about the performance afterwards then you need to trade them your True Name, your home address, your date of birth and your personal interests.

You do this so that the fae can this information on a scroll and give it to local business owners.

Another part of the deal they broke is that nobody may talk negatively about those businesses within the market walls. In fact, your friends say, the enchantment is so effective that it's very difficult to talk negatively about anything at all.

“I know it sounds un-good,” your friend admits. “But there are loopholes.”

“In retrospect,” another friend says, “I wish the town had voted un-yes to teaching the fae about money.”

“On the plus side,” the first friend says, “I hear the market is investing in one of those enchanted statues that responds to questions with deliberately ambiguous riddles, so long as you trade it your memories of secondary school.”

“Oh, cool. Is that why they're burning down the library?”

You wonder if it's too late to go back to sleep.

The Squabble

Two little dragons vie for a place to perch. Nothing else to see here.

I love how this piece turned out!

my dad asked if I needed therapy and I said no im fine but I also dont know how to explain that I feel like im getting panic attacks at the amount of information that is known about us online and the constant surveillance we are under, and the rise of fascism, and how AI is the new tool that is going to make it easier to sort through all of the databases to scrutinise our every move, and that international law means nothing now and neither even do the words genocide or horror or never again, and how foreign countries can determine whether someone receives disaster relief or not, and how people are being put into prison for protesting climate change which is the equivalent of being arrested randomly in the street, and we're told that we need to care about the world and be unselfish but the minute we try to actualise this we could end up in jail or beaten and i bet that at some point my name will be on a watch list somewhere even though ive barely done anything but just liking memes is enough to get a visa revoked at this point so who knows where thats going to lead and on top of all of that we're so full of microplastics that even if all of our problems magically do get solved (which they could be but clearly they wont because its just not profitable) we're still going to die of the cancer that theyre putting into us
