I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely

This is ostensibly a conversation about Ravelry & fiber arts influencers — but it's actually a conversation about the freelancification of creative work, the decline of institutions that made that work sustainable, and the hollowing out of the creative economy: www.patreon.com/CultureStudy...

Um okay I hate to do this but ever since I had to pay for a bunch of school and visa stuff all at once I've been struggling to cover costs and have been without my prescriptions, including my ADHD meds and HRT for months now. If anyone can help so I can get back on track, I'd appreciate it.

Today is indigenous peoples day. It is crucial to remember and talk about how there is still an active genocide against the tribal nations that were here for eons before this country colonized their land. Broken treaties and needless cruelty STILL HAPPEN. Sacred sites are under attack right now.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

whenever trump's DOJ has to go in front of a judge to get yelled at, every lawyer on here is like "omg i've NEVER seen a judge this mad, if a judge yelled at me like this i'd immediately commit seppeku," and then at the end of the hearing the judge is like "ok no sanctions just don't do it again"

Everyone in creative work for hire knows most of the job is clients asking you for something bad and stupid and you figuring out how to make something completely different while convincing them it's what they asked for. The AI era means everyone gets to see what clients actually want

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

Social con—*unintelligible screaming* It costs upward of 15k to give birth in a hospital given things go fine. It’s twice that for a C-section. And what if there are complications that require an extended stay? If the baby is a preemie and needs to stay in NICU, that’s 3k-10k PER DAY.

$Emet-Selch: you're all primitive animals. just last week I watched a man fail to return his shopping cart to the corral. now, there is no punishment for not returning a shopping cart. it is done simply because it is the right thing to do. but that is too much to ask of a fracture. is that what we have been reduced to? squandered, sundered husks that cannot perform a simple duty to their society without threat of retribution? I wretch at what has become of all I have lost. Alphinaud: And yet there are those before you who would return a shopping cart not their own!$
