We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Poetry is much better than prose because you can put random line breaks in and nobody gives a shit

Today's daily reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

Discworld QOTD, from Lords and Ladies "Using a metaphor in front of a man as unimaginative as Ridcully was like a red flag to a bu- was like putting something very annoying in front of someone who was annoyed by it."

Jareth the Goblin King said “I’m leaving here with *something*” and 60% of the audience volunteered as tribute.

Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · 4d ago

Lots of arguments for Magneto, Ozymandias and Killmonger, but my money’s always on Darth Revan. I will also argue that Jareth the Goblin King was neither right nor wrong but behaving exactly the way that an ancient fey acts when some dipshit teenager invokes him to steal her brother.

Damn... 300% higher yields for peppers 200% for tomatoes. 65% lower water use for jalapenos. #agsky #agrivoltaics ,🌱🌞🔌..

mollywarton.net I keep meaning to do all sorts of things to it, but there's a bunch of stories there which I think are mostly pretty good. (Not that I'm biased or anything.)

Today is Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. Around 500,000 Roma & Sinti people were killed by the Nazis in the Porajmos. There was no state given to them after the war. Commemoration of their suffering is often diminished or forgotten. Racism towards Romani people across Europe remains acceptable.

The rise of puppy girls arent a kink thing. Its a form of queer camouflage because cis people care more about dogs than trans women

I know it’s an old and hackneyed point but I always go back to it. Suffragettes fought *against* the notion of sex based rights; sex based rights were the ones men had and women didn’t. It was seen as appalling to deny people rights based on their biology.

Silentbob@si1entb0b.bsky.social · 5d ago

Reality check: "Women's hard won rights": - did NOT include defining women by biology, the slogan was "biology is not destiny!" - did NOT seek sex segregation, they fought for inclusion of women - did NOT advocate "sex-based rights", they fought AGAINST that and FOR equality regardless of sex

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

A reminder, if you're even a moderately big account -- *never, ever*, no matter how stupid you think a take is, quote-skeet it to dunk it. Past a certain size account (a size I'm past and I'm far from a big account) doing this will ruin someone's day or possibly life, for no benefit to you.

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

So when governments say "but the ultrarich might leave the country", we should respond, "mission accomplished then." Get them and their ill-gotten gains out of our politics and out of our hair. And hopefully, with global measures, out of everyone's.

Sorry I haven't updated YBR much lately. I've been working on my personal comics website. It'll be ready soon. To make it up to everyone, I did a quick sketch of Professor H.M. Wogglebug T.E., who I left out of my comic because he's so annoying and dumb! Yuck! Here's what would happen if we met:

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

I am tech support to the bone and do not like to mystify computer stuff but I genuinely believe in my heart of hearts that printers have demons in them. There is literally no other explanation.
