it pisses me off when niche inter-community conflicts and conversations become viral and multiply marginalized people are exposed to public ridicule from a hostile public and in a deepening fascist social climate

I find that no one quite beats British politicians when it comes to pure hatred of disabled people--its a TOUGH competition, globally, Indians, Canadians, Americans, but the British cadre just do their hating with such vim and vigor

I think the problem with being medicated for me is realizing oh shit it wasn’t more vitamins it was actually being medicated for my adhd and suddenly a whole world of possibility opened up. This doesn’t sound like a problem until smash cut to like five months later

Still looking for my secondary world fantasy to sweep me off my feet, so if you have one, please send it to Otherside? I like stories that feel brutal and sharp, beautiful prose, and audacious worldbuilding. Above all, I'm looking for ambition rather than stories that play within an existing canon

A good example of Kwame Ture's point that 'In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience.' He's asking for the most basic shit possible--the resignation of a minister who has failed in his duties. The regime won't even give that inch. They don't give a shit.

But the point of that film is that powers by themselves don't make you hero. And simply using AI to create something doesn't make you a writer or artist. Tech bros know this, so they want to change how we see the entire creative process. They want people to question real writers and artists. 5/

I have emails to send and also two really unavoidable phone calls so of course I had to make a poster
a poster for a movie that does not exist, 'the folkening.' apparently an official selection at the summerisle film festival and a runner-up at venice. the background is some vague shrubs and a suggestion of sea in the background, with a very yellow filter on it. blurbs from the LA times and guardian are "i finally understand what it means to be folkened to death. simply outstanding" and "inconceivably terrifying -- like being at the bottom of a treacle mine."

It's easy to cheer this, but we need to remember that Facebook is the Internet for many large developing nations. Messenger is a primary means of communication. This is not something pleasing until the infrastructure has been replaced with something better and uncompromised, this just harms people.
