Hi Elon: please add a decreasing counter bar in the corner of the screen so I know how many posts left I can view. Because having a health bar on twitter would be the only funny thing you can do right now

It's strange to see anyone surprised by Universal using a tactic as cruel as denying even shade to picket line members, in the heat-based hellscape that is Los Angeles. So let's try to condense the explanation.

By and large, executives are people who already come from wealth and privilege, and have that wealth and privilege protected throughout their life as they're escorted through whatever levels of education and then into employment.

Most of them have never received any kind of culture shock to make them aware of the struggles of 'lessers'. Their parents and peers had a vested interest in keeping the then-children from mixing with 'those people'.

They are insulated enough from daily life that they no longer see anyone outside their immediate wealth and influence bracket as human.

So a strike, to them, is not "people who want enough money to live and work in health", it's "The machine that makes us money is broken, get those workers back into their jobs so we can keep making money."

So the executives treat the strike like they would a broken machine or a disobedient pet. Hit it until it works, and replace it if it breaks.

And don't doubt for one minute that this wasn't at the advice of a Pinkerton or similar union-busting agency consultant. This is more than just petty; this is tactical cruely.

thank u @dreamdripdistance for making possible the funniest iteration of post-top surgery pics (it's a temporary tattoo)

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or an expat why they had to leave their communist country.

can I have context i'm not very educated abt this kinda stuff

People tend to flee communist countries because they're fascists, or they owned a plantation, or they were a capitalist crook. Basically, they're fleeing being publicly executed by the proletariat for their crimes.

Then they come to America and continue what they were doing before and spread propaganda about how oppressive it was for "small business owners". See: people who fled Cuba when Castro took their plantations away and now vote for DeSantis.

"damn bitch you live like this?" but its a full white minimalistic clean bedroom

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

You are so brave and correct for this

tagging @undynedevotion @gilettefusion5 for different reasons :P

GOD i hate any sort of gender talk so much

once again wishing to skip to the utopian future where it no longer exists and people just have unquestioned complete body autonomy

i want to live in a future where the concept of being trans is no longer coherent because it's just assumed everyone goes through at least like 5 puberties and tried every configuration of different body parts and presentations as part of growing up, and whether that resembles what they started with is irrelevant

this is both a transhumanism thing and a "the only way to get rid of misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, etc. - which are all part of the same apparatus - is to remove gender entirely and this is the most surefire way to do it" thing

here's my cat for your dash btw. if you even care

This is the best theory for Pikmin 4 sounding like it's olimars first crash.

When people graffiti on buildings: Yes! Ha ha! Fuck yes!

When people graffiti on rockfaces and cliffsides on hiking trails: What the absolute fuck.

It's not punk to poison the soil, dude.
