Every time there's a food recall that spreads from one company to the next, even from generic brands that are unique to the store selling them, it makes me realize the illusion of choice under capitalism hyped up by conservatives is a bunch of bullshit.

Oh and uh, don't drink apple juice for a while. Arsenic. And it's more than just Aldi and Walmart

the sense of knowing that you're in a big transitional stage of your life. such a surreal feeling. exciting and terrifying and grief-filled and joyous all at once.

cant decide if i want noodle to Instantly Know that alecto in all her 9ft avenging angel of god barbie form is nona, or if he follows harrow around for a while and harrow has to pretend that she's Not a dog person. both are wonderful tbh but also i cant get over the mental image of harrow scowling fiercely while noodle walks next to her, and then on closer inspection he's wearing a collar lovingly made out of ribs

Mustang was very brave to build his team with a chronically-single french man, a guy who was born for IT in a world without, a guy who's definitely from their equivalent of New York, two orphans that are homeless by choice, his not-wife that he has a suicide pact with, and Vato Falman

I think my favorite genre of fanfiction is when the author says something like "this was meant to be 3 chapters but it's actually going to be 5" in the notes at the end of a chapter and you can look up at the chapter count and it's like 15 or something

“Sir Ambrut Distinguishing Himself in Battle for King Arthur” by Lisa A. Free, from King Arthur Pendragon (AKA Pendragon): Player’s Book by Greg Stafford, Chaosium, 1985.  This illustration also appeared in ads for the game, so it should be familiar to readers of Dragon magazine around this time.

I have that post about how you need to recognise your capacity for evil, and it's true. But here's another one: you need to recognise your capacity to be fooled and manipulated.

It's not a skill issue. Modern propaganda techniques are sophisticated. Advertisers have vast datasets combed from social media; they typify you, they have a science of what techniques work on people like you. Ask yourself how many times you've seen some article which stokes your anger or flatters your preconceptions and reblogged it thoughtlessly without ever even considering whether the source was reliable or whether it was true. You know better, but you don't *do* better because they know how to bypass your discursive intellect; how to get you to act in the space between your anger kicking in and your rationality kicking in.

And your enemies are being manipulated in this fashion as well. You're not better than them.

Can't wait for the uniqueness of the holocaust to be a topic of importance in a political campaign in america in 2024. That's how it should be. That's normal
