post from tumblr user wizard archetypes:

i get a $250 million production budget to adapt beowulf into a summer blockbuster and at the end beowulf is contemplating his reign as king in his old age and the passing of time and we hear some kids say something he doesn't quite understand and he says stoically "it's as if the English i speak is becoming old..."

hmm so orcas don't eat humans in the wild because each group typically specialises (via cultural transmission between generations) in hunting specific forms of prey and are quite reticent about experimentation, which makes sense given the risks and the enormous energy demands these creatures have; however that raises the possibility of an orca finding a popular beach and coming up with repeatable tactics for human hunting in the future, like it would be a mistake to assume that they're never going to eat people.

efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For GirlsT™”

one of the problems with the social model of disability is that it lends itself very well to generic critique of society that doesn‘t really relate to disabled people’s perspectives and needs
Bluesky post: The thing with car culture is that you create a social model where every human being is, by default, disabled and cannot meet their daily needs without a mobility device. People have a relationship to their car more akin to a wheelchair than to a train. That's a problem.

sure, and in an effort to reassure people that she wasn’t an alarmist she said this, something she couldn’t possibly have known and frankly shouldn’t have attempted to predict without a strong background in public health:
The wuhan coronavirus almost certainly will not be a nightmare pandemic with 50 million deaths worldwide

here is a simple call script. if you aren't able to call yourself, you can dm me your name, city, zip code and house district and I will call on your behalf (or share your full address and I can look up your district). www.congress.gov/members/find.... I will share this message or one you write.
(adapted from 5calls)

“Hi, this is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP CODE].

I’m calling to express my outrage over RFK Jr.’s attacks on public health and essential scientific research. His lies about vaccines are putting countless lives at risk through public distrust and acts of violence against federal workers. I ask that [REP/SEN NAME] publicly call for his resignation.

Thank you for your time.”

me/cfs researcher Fereshteh Jahanbani implies that her brother was injured in the attack on Iran by Israel:
fereshteh jaha... @fereshtehj... • 15h0 ...
Stop Israel's machinery of slaughter.
My brother was just rushed to the hospital after waking to explosions—his child beside him, paralyzed in fear.
This is not self-defense. It's terror.
The world must not stay silent. End this violence now.

Tumblr post by user max1461:

There's a genre of like, comedy skit/webcomic/ etc where like, there's a Straight White Man and a Quirky Queer Bean and the Straight White Man says an offensive internet discourse thing and the Quirky Queer Bean pulls out A Gun Imao bet you didn't expect that. "Uhhhm its historically inaccurate to have gay people in dnd" "well you know whats more hsitorically inaccurate MY GUN". I think this is kind of cringe and lame because like there's no joke, it's played as humorous but there isn't really a joke at all. So l was thinking what if there was one where the Straight White Man says your blue hair bothers me and the Quirky Queer Bean says hey does MY GUN bother you and then the Straight White Man pulls out HIS GUN and then they stand there you know, both of them face to face like really internalizing the possibility of their own deaths now, and campus police is called and they both stand down but its a permanently traumatizing experience of both of them. The Straight White Man can't talk about or admit to his trauma because that would be embarrassing and emasculating and the pain and anger that he feels only drives him to further, more cemented hate of queer people and the left broadly.(post continued) The Quirky Queer Bean can talk about it but her social circles
are so gossipy and backstabbing that people just end up finding a way to use it against her in the next cancel-session and she's left alone and confused by the rejection from people she thought she could trust. both of them are further estranged from the human world and social relations and spend their lives just a little more lonely and isolated than they otherwise would have.

haven’t gone into this explicitly yet but a big part of my motivation for this was that I want people to use less twitter. I can’t judge anyone for still having an account, I still have an account that I check sometimes, but it’s the devil’s sacrament and we all should leave #LongCovid #mecfs

Tweet from Bernie sanders from tonight 1/27: Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don't make less than $22 an hour.
Let's steal those ideas.

Sometimes
Sometimes things don't go, after all, from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail.
Sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.
A people sometimes will step back from war, elect an honest man, decide they care enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.
Sometimes our best intentions do not go amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow that seemed hard frozen; may it happen for you.
- Sheenagh Pugh
