I want to follow up on the means-testing thread with some thoughts on structural motivation. The premise of a welfare system is "some people need help." That's NOT the premise of means testing. THAT system's premise is "not everyone needs (read: deserves) help." 1/x

Oh my god I am going to be queuing this looks amazing. Keep your goddamn Homeric mythos, this is the tale of hubris, nemesis and dramatic unities that I want.

one thing trans sports bans have clarified for me is how detrimental it is that every level of sport is seen as a pipeline to elite competition trans people should be included at all levels, but also standards for elite competition should have no bearing on how we move our bodies with our friends

If your upbringing taught you that allowing queer people to exist like every other citizen is incorrect, your upbringing was flawed and bigoted and your responsibility is to adapt and work on yourself.

I just checked and it's for all plans. So you can read ebooks and listen to audiobooks for only 99 cents. Read as many as you want! Especially if you want to read indie books 😄

Sandstone@quartzen.bsky.social · 2w ago

Kobo is running a promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus, from now through August 4 where you can get a 14-day free trial and then your first month after that is 99 cents- might be a good time to check it out if you've been wanting to! Unsure if this promo is US-only!

i won't live long enough to read everything i want to read that was actually written by people, who have thoughts, feelings, and experiences that i care about. there is far too much great human writing to waste time reading bot-slop.

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Jar of Moles (Grant Zoology Museum, London) crittery dozened things each pink snout snootling formaldehyde up it's bamboozler which poor fuck had to collect them out in the dirt with a shovel here moley moley BONK . I’m only gonna put you in a jar and let tourists go eww at you for the next two hundred years god look at me for two hundred years I’d do anything look mummy, one of them’s licking the glass— honey it's dead velvety sweet sardined hope their ghosts are friends teeming in a molish afterlife dark and circular everything worm- flavoured tasty buggy snackerels what if you smashed the mole jar? vinegared moles spilling out flaccid & swimming everyone screaming someone saying Freddy you gotta get us a new jar of moles— —goddammit boss I never asked for any of this A jar of wet preserved moles, the jar is very full and all the little hands, feet and snoots mark it as both upsetting and fascinating
