media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

Far too many people passed on Fabiniku. It is the Dark Souls of being gay and trans. It is the romance series that explicitly refuses fit nicely in to any one label. It is repression the anime. You'll never find more emotionally constipated individuals then these two motherfuckers...

For today's #weebwednesday I want to do something a bit different - reskeet with a piece of anime or gaming that you think everyone should interact with or that more people should know about!

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

between the don't hug me i'm scared tv series and now the don hertzfeldt collection, dropout is really killing it with these licensed additions to their library. hope they keep it up

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

There Will Come Soft Rains
By: Ray Bradbury

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!
In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two
cool glasses of milk.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake.
"Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

that one big article about how a bunch of americans were taught how to read wrong changed everything for me. now when i get a comment about something i never actually said i think oh, are you one of the kids that got taught three cueing instead of phonics? are you half guessing what i said

Thank you to everybody who has left nice reviews of The Dragon Has Some Complaints on Amazon and Goodreads! Particularly because my mom's new hobby is reading all of them.

looking at the headlines and reflecting once again on how all the smart, hard-working, honest people I know feel like they’re going at least a little insane in our era of total Stupid Immoral Asshole ascendancy

#JulyInterviewFic Ah, it's over. Pathi looks over the assembled people, most of them human, like he used to be, and most struggling. He offers a nervous smile, lined with fangs, and waves a claw in melancholy farewell. "No matter what, never just assume you're in the right. Stay human, everyone."

#JulyInterviewFic. (Answer in character as your OC) Question 31. Okay. Last question. If you could magically put a message in front of everyone worldwide, what would that message be?

#JulyInterviewFic Pathi blinks, and his tail sweeps the floor self-consciously. "Ah, well... mostly reading. Some drawing, but mostly of Sigils. I like making things, generally." He chuckled to himself. "I always wanted to try acting in a play... but my mom's fame would've made that troublesome."

#JulyInterviewFic. (Answer in character as your OC) Question 29. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I’m not sure why people are surprised by this. Christianity is, at the best of times, a marketing-focused ideology. But when there’s any significant pushback, it rapidly becomes an exercise in raw power, which is what this is. She’s asserting dominance, not trying to persuade.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.
