This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

as a small child, i was taken to a horror movie in a theater. i reacted badly, both during the movie and for a long time afterwards. then i was taken to two more. it was formative. I’m still scared. the movies were the time machine, the incredible shrinking man, and invasion of the body snatchers.

You know. I don’t think that there is any more crucial component to contextualizing & meeting our current set of problems than understanding this.

Some of you are getting too comfy saying that billionaires, AI tech bros, and all the other assholes have to have some psychiatric condition because being a complete utter greedy mean-spirited troll of a person must mean they're crazy. As an actual "crazy" person, fuck you.

I deleted a thread. I didn’t like something I had said, and I didn’t like something someone else did. I’ll just say this: There’s an animated vid around, posted as someone’s language-learning homework, featuring a protagonist who is rude, greedy, and violent—and fat.

i don’t know if this counts as listening, but my falling-asleep technique is “playing” a song inside my head silently. for me, the amount of focus needed to keep the song “going” is enough to keep my mind off wakeful topics but not enough to keep me awake. i fall asleep mid-song.

There were Black survivors of Jonestown, and I’ve often thought about what it was like for them to hear that phrase. I push back when I hear ppl say it, and explain why. Meanwhile, I tell my kids they “up in the kool-aid” even tho they’ve never even heard of Koolaid (they get watered down juice!) 😆

…it is ABOUT Black folks tho’, referring to Jonestown. It isn’t an in-house community code warning youth, but originally a way for the larger (white) community to make a “teachable moment” - and a cruel joke - about the mass murder of Black ppl. 😔 Jonestown should be understood as Blk history, imo.

“Don’t drink the Kool-Aid” and “All up in the Kool-Aid, and don’t know the flavor” are two different phrases with different histories, to my mind. The second is an example of Black folks’ creative, hilarious ways of making a point. 🥰 “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid” isn’t a phrase from Black folks…

it’s grim how many people are calling GLP-1s a “wonder drug.” nobody could possibly know that so early, and folks, nothing is a miracle drug the way these are touted! we know the reason. it’s the exact degree to which you all hate fatness.

You can't, and shouldn't seek to, replace public schools or libraries with bookstores. You can't replace a public good with a private business, no matter how well-meaning or well-organized it may be.

Joan Baez has never focused much on songwriting, but she wrote a few absolute bangers about Bob Dylan. Whew, those lyrics. “Winds of the Old Days.” And it has the word “autumnal.” 🙂 🍁 🍂 🍇
