A really annoying thing about being on the aroace spectrum is that no one really explains what the alternative is, they just assume you are too and of course understand implicitly what sexual/romantic attraction is. You're left with the vague feeling that no one actually understands this shit

It's not just food, it's everything else you own, too. Almost everything is designed to function at something called "room temperature," somewhere between 65-77 F. Good luck using your computer when it's 90+ indoors for a week. Good luck running any electronics.

What's a tectonic crisis? I don't know, it's an empty signifier to hold a continuous chain of weird shit that all happens during a ~5 million year time period between a stable "before" and an equally stable "after." And also you can't print "Mid-Miocene Panamanian Weird Shit" in a journal.

I hate copyright discourse because it’s usually fucking entitled Evil Megacorps on one side and fucking entitled Content Consumers on the other side, yelling at each other over who has the most legitimate right to tell artists to “produce what I’m owed, slave, and don’t ask me to pay”.

Silly conspiracy theory: The reason pumpkin spice is so popular in the US is because the ginger often included helps with various gastric disorders also common in the US. (Note: correlation is not causation, this is not a fact, this is just me musing on my own gastric reflux issues)

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

The thing about Peter Lorre wasn't that the animators were mean to him. If anything, they loved him for sticking up for striking workers at Warner Bros, even shutting down a film production to support the union. WB blacklisted him for that, but animators knew Peter was THAT dude & made him immortal.

Taxing the rich is the nonviolent option.

A close-up shot of a brown metal outdoor utility box on a city sidewalk. Fixed to the top left of the box is a small, rectangular yellow sticker with a thin black border that reads "TAXING THE RICH IS THE NONVIOLENT OPTION" in all-capital black letters. Below it, there is a torn white paper residue from a previous sticker and a long, vertical black sticker depicting multiple stylized hands gripping the neck of a guitar. In the blurry background, a sidewalk, an urban building facade, and a person walking are faintly visible.
