unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

Gonna need yall to stop putting Biden is Just As Bad propaganda on my dash. Had to unfollow someone because I don’t want to a start a fight with them over it, but I’m about to bite the next person who puts that shit in front of me.

If you don’t like Biden, vote in your god damn local and mid term elections for third party or further left candidates so that we get better democratic candidates for future elections. But this one is already fucking decided, and I’m NOT ending up under a Trump led dictatorship because yall value protecting your personal sense of moral purity over the collective good. Whether it offends your personal morals to vote for Biden is IRRELEVANT in the face of the alternative.

This isn’t a lesser of two evils situation. One guy sucks. The other guy is LITERALLY PLANNING TO OVERTHROW OUR DEMOCRACY AND INSTALL HIMSELF AS A PUTIN STYLE DICTATOR.

PLEASE look up Project 2025 and stop acting like abstaining is some kind of personal ethical decision!

I would like more people to understand that the real test of anti-Semitism, will not be, and will never be, will the people who are otherwise agreeing with you be anti-Semitic to you. It is, will they be anti-Semitic towards the people with whom they disagree.

It doesn't mean anything when a proudly anti-Zionist Jew in a watermelon kippah and a keffiyeh is welcomed by a pro-Palestine encampment.

It doesn't mean anything when a proudly Zionist Jew draped in an Israeli flag is welcomed by a right-wing pro-Israel counter-rally.

The test of anti-Semitism is what happens when the Zionist Jew walks into the pro-Palestine encampment and what happens when the anti-Zionist Jew walks into the pro-Israel counter-rally. How fast do people resort to anti-Semitic canards? How quickly is that person treated as the worst sort of example of what the other camp hates?

And it's that last example that is scaring me. Because that's where I see the anti-Semitism spike.

People who are loudly and visibly Jewish are often the most cheered on by those who agree with them, especially in movements where they are a minority. The flipside is that people who are loudly and visibly Jewish are often the most virulently harassed by those who disagree with them.

there is a post going around like THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT KENT STATE and I am sorry but if you are an adult American with a high school degree and don't know about Kent State I'm afraid that's on you. There is a Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young song about it and they play it on your average oldies station like twice a day.

Tumblr: Only neurotypical people do X. Neurodivergent people never do X. It's literally never necessary to do X, and if you do, you are by definition acting out of malice.

Neurodivergent person whose neurodivergence primarily expresses itself as X:

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

Please stop telling people, for any reason, to kill themself. Stop advocating for suicide in any form or capacity.

Hey, happy Earth Day! Who wants to talk about climate change?

Yeah, okay, fair, I kinda figured the answer to that would be "ugh do we have to?" What if I told you I have good news though? Good news with caveats, but still good news.

What if I told you that since the Paris Agreement in 2015, we've avoided a whole degree celsius of global warming by 2100, or maybe more?

Current projections are 2.7C, which is way better than the 3-5C (with a median of 3.7C) we were expecting in 2015. It's not where we want to be - 1.5C - but it is big, noticeable progress!

And it's not like we either hit 1.5C and avoid all the big scary consequences or fail to hit 1.5C and get all of them - every tenth of a degree of warming we avoid is going to prevent more severe problems like extreme weather, sea level rise, etc.

This means that climate change mitigation efforts are having a noticeable impact! This means a dramatically better, safer future - and if we keep pushing, we could lower the amount of global warming we end up with even further. This is huge progress, and we need to celebrate it, even though the fight isn't over.

It's working. Keep going.

Sir...what

[noitsbecky127]

the "queer is a slur" is so dumb yall. I had to see a post on my dash in twenty twenty four where someone said "I've never heard it used as a slur before!" well bully for you. "but we've reclaimed it!" that's not how slur reclamation works. anyway it doesn't matter because if someone asks you not to call them something you don't fucking call them that thing !! it's not that hard you guys

rebecca watches ds9: the forsaken

oh god poor julian has to deal with diplomats

and poor diplomats have to deal with julian

actually this is perfect. let him talk their entitled ears off

julian is the galaxy’s worst liar i love him

LWAXANA????

LWAXANA!!!!

get the lady her brooch!

why can’t betazoids read ferengi minds? do they ever explain that?

odo’s very good at his job!

is ds9 ever not having technical difficulties

miles has a grudge against an ai. that’s so real of him

miles don’t be passive-aggressive

i love julian’s face journey in the background while the ambassador lady is complaining about her quarters again

i also love julian defending jadzia when the vulcan ambassador questions her level of experience

picard and odo are the same type of man. ig that’s lwaxana’s type

odo: help a betazoid lady is horny for me

“i don’t handle delicacy very well” i believe in you odo

i love odo trying and failing to flee lwaxana

oh god quark is never going to let odo hear the end of this

“i can swim” LWAXANA AKSKDKDS

trapped in the turbolift. classic

uh oh i’m guessing the probe fucked everything up

better get comfy in there!

lwaxana has an infinite amount of things to say i think

odo: how bad is electrocution really

i think julian is plotting ambassador murder

he’s so expressive i love him

the probe made the computer lonely???

what happens if odo isn’t in his bucket when he becomes a liquid? can he collect himself again once he stops being a liquid?

i wonder if his hair feels like hair. i wonder what odo feels like in general. is he like jello or smth

odo are you ok

odo’s little story about how he was entertaining to the scientists reminds me of when i was little and i was like a party trick to the adults at preschool. i could read and they were amazed

uh oh, one hour until we get liquid odo

so what’s the goal here? overload the computer for some reason?

whatever it was they seem to have done it!

PULL THE LEVER JULIAN

(WRONG LEVERRR)

yeah when my uncle got a puppy (cutest dog ever btw) she was super clingy

ah so odo’s safe, just very private about his liquid state

odo’s fucking melting lmao

i think lwaxana looks better with brown hair

oh she’s holding him in her skirt. that’s sweet. that was a nice moment ❤️

not entirely sure what miles just did but it appears to have worked!

a vulcan called julian logical. that’s high praise

cannot get over lwaxana’s type being Beige

miles has a puppy now! in a manner of speaking anyway
