liminal horror was born out of the incessant hostility to anyone being anywhere at any time for any reason. Like you can't stay at a cafe for longer than half an hour. all of us rent, and we're barely allowed to personalize that space at all before we're priced out again. shit like that

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

also. the thing people hate is not ‘the technology’ it is the tech industry. they hate move fast and break things. they hate having everything they say tracked and processed while companies do whatever they want. they hate every single ideological value that animates silicon valley

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

personally disappointed in people talking about ZSNES like it's not just a program you can install and run today. It's not ancient history, and even if it was, you could emulate it. also, why the blurry static JPEG? GIVE ME ANIMATED SNOW.

People say this question is not relevant to our immediate existential troubles, but I disagree with that. It is the ultimate existential question. The only one. Because trans inclusion is an immediate existential issue for trans people. Which means it’s a greater existential question for all people.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

I’m a trans woman in my forties. Growing up without social media—and during Section 28—I knew nothing about transness and I knew no-one like me. I almost didn’t make it; I dread to think how many didn’t. You can’t tell me that returning to this state is not an intended effect of this proposed ban.

Castlevania: Nocturne S2 was everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. Absolutely amazing we've now had six (OK, five plus a little baby pilot season) seasons of a video game adaptation that CONSISTENTLY RULE. Writing, visual cues from the old manuals and game animations, the music, queer rep. Lucky

I find the "oh wow, you still say 'Die Hard is a Christmas movie'" posts outnumber (like 10:0) anyone actually saying that maybe we can just not talk about Die Hard and instead vocalize joy for what we actually like and be festive and silly. or I can just mute Die Hard discourse that works too

I listen to way too much VGM to do a "favorite" four! Even if you gave me a specific console, I'd probably struggle. So just to challenge myself while narrowing it down, let's do... one from 2024, one from 2014, one from 2004 and one from 1994 (but 1994 especially could be a list by itself).
