ugh! i just wish high-quality content could be seamlessly delivered to me in an algorithmic feed! i hate the friction of curating my own personal experience—i need a machine to tell me what i like
it’s just soooo outdated for a social media site to show me chronological posts i chose to see. what am i, a BOOMER?? no! it’s 2023. i want the apps i use to treat me like a fucking idiot, incapable of developing my own thoughts or good taste. because that’s the industry standard. why would it be standard if it’s bad!!
We got the car taken care of and now we need grocery money.
Hey everyone, y'all may remember a couple weeks back when my family had to raise emergency funds to get our car fixed. Well, the car is doing great now, but all the money folks very generously sent us had to go toward bills, and there’s not a lot of food left in the cabinets.
I fucking despise having to do this so often, but we’ve got four disabled adults who are staying afloat with a single night job and about twenty different side hustles in a trench coat.

Sometimes you’re a full blown communist but you’re tired and you wish you could even have the bare minimum amount of dignity and ease in your existence so you absentmindedly say something like “man I wish the healthcare system wasn’t fucked up. I wish I could ride a train to the next city. I wish rent was cheaper” and some absolute weed shows up and says “Oh you’re a social chauvinist? You’re a liberal? Does baby want his first world treats? You want to use slave labor to build social democratic gentrified urbanism on stolen land? You think we should still have landlords? You’re satisfied with begging for scraps?” and it’s like man come on
I want to clarify that I made this post before this site got swallowed by the Twitter Banana Argument, so to be clear: there is no just future without the total demolition of USA imperialism and hegemony, total decolonization, and communism, not social democracy for the first world, but real communism. We in the imperial nations do, in fact, have to do better than begging for scraps and settling for reform. That said, sometimes I am going to wish my friends weren’t drowning in medical bills and that I didnt have to drive 50 miles a day to get to work, and I’m going to bitch about those things on my blog without appending my entire manifesto to it. You are never going to get someone’s entire political outlook from one post, so don’t assume a singular bit of grieving or kvetching is emblematic of a deficiency in moral and political fiber. Don’t mistake me for one of those banana-chauvinist dullards because of this post lmfao.
Anyway who wants to hear my analysis on how Barbie movies depiction of sewing are a poor attempt to fumble around with general phrases and gestures the writer hazily recalls an aunt or grandmother doing in their childhood while the my little pony series is a nearly perfect, down to the last detail, depiction of sewing.
I was unsure who to ask so I went to probably the only blog I follow which is run by a strike member.
Amidst the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, what exactly can we as consumers do and not do in support of the unions? I can't find any good sources providing information so should we just help make the strike heard or is there stuff not to do?
Right now the thing you can do the most is to vocally support the strike.
And spread the link to the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports people in the Arts whose income has gone away – not just the strikers but all the people who cannot work because nothing is being shot or made.
Honestly, I’m so sick of *SPOILER* culture. There’s no cutoff. People are out here tagging Greek myth with #SPOLIERS like…. That shit dropped in 6000 BCE. It’s your own fault if you wanted to read that and haven’t already. It’s one thing to spoil a mystery or an ending like the day after media is released, it’s another thing entriely 2, 5, 20, 500, or 3000 years down the road. Anybody worried about Great Gatsby “"spoliers”“ just needs to go to the fucking library already. Warning! Gilgamesh Spoliers! He fights a big-ass pig that belongs to god!
