we’re gonna be ok btw
it’s ok if you’re scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but i’ve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if you’re scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through
people who can graciously hide that they don’t like people are so terrifying. last year while working on tech for a play i asked my friend how he became friends with another guy on the crew and he got quiet, looked straight into my soul and said “he’s not my friend. i fucking hate him.” i lost 5 years of my life
this is normal. this is how normal people interact with each other irl without killing each other with rocks. if you can’t do this you should learn how immediately because it is a basic tenet of functioning as an adult in adult society. did no one tell you this? that you have to be civil to people you don’t like even if you don’t want to? because someone should have told you this when you were about 2 years old. I’m worried about you
hey, i wasn’t going to respond to this because this post references an interaction i had 8 years ago, but since you blew up my notifications, i wanted to address this response
i agree with you— being civil and professional is an essential life skill
though it wasn’t quite what i was talking about in the post—i was referencing someone who was fully pretending to be friends with someone both inside and outside of a professional environment, then turning around talking badly about them behind their back, including their other mutual (!) friends, which is what disconcerted me back then.
i agree, being civil is necessary and i really admire people who do it consistently and professionally. it’s a hard lesson to learn and harder even to consistently practice. couldn’t have maintained any job if i hadn’t learned it. however, being cruel and two-faced to someone you pretend to be friends with is different— and that’s what i was taking about. i wasn’t able to communicate that in a one off post i made years ago, so i’m happy to clear it up now
what i don’t agree with is your decision to take my old post and wag an online finger at me like i’m a young child? you even recognize in ur tags that the post is old but you still went ahead and typed that up. i don’t know you and you don’t know me. i’m sure you meant well but your weird condescension was unnecessary. there’s no need to be mean on this fine webbed site.
thanks!
“She may hang keys from her belt to signify, “I hold the keys.” She may cut her hair very short, shorter by far than any men are wearing it, because short hair is a dykish thing. She may dress exactly like her own brother and then pitch her voice unexpectedly high, so that everyone who meets her is thrown a little off-balance in their perceptions of accepted truths about the nature of the world. She may grow her hair long and wear one earring only, or three in one ear and two in the other, or mismatched socks or other signs of asymmetry that say, “I cross over. I belong to more than one world.” She may dress exactly like her brother and then be highly indignant and chagrined if she is mistaken for a boy or a man, called “Sir” by a clerk or waiter. Because the social message she bears and is delivering is not “I am a man” but rather “Here is another way to be a woman.””
if someone ever publicly shares ur nudes (even if they're fabricated/deepfakes), u can go on https://stopncii.org/ to have them removed from the internet. this service is available for ppl all over the world. the image never leaves ur device (only a hash of it does) so no one will be able to see the nudes u uploaded to their site. stay safe.
Did you know that: Jesus Christ is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist?!
did you know that worf is the character in the most episodes of star trek? some counter that claim by mentioning Majel Barret, and while Barret did provide her voice for the ship's computer for several series, she's often uncredited, and the computer is not technically a character. I'm glad that it's worf over any other character because he's so awesome and because I love him looke at this
get worfed
the first priority of houselessness advocacy should not be housing (although this is an important option for those who want it) but the right to free movement and the right to camp. every culture in every period of human history has had itinerant individuals, and in many places those individuals made up the bulk of human beings. in our society houselessness is incredibly difficult, but it doesnt have to be. as a houseless individual my biggest concern at all times was police harassment (being told to move along or having my shit tossed for being too conspicuous), and without that i would have been able to aquire a lot more agency and self subsistence with things like a semi-permanent camp, and growing and catching my own food (meaning: existence outside of wage slavery and property ownership. this is what scares them!). the fact is that privatization of property and vagrancy laws have been making the lives of houseless individuals infinitely more difficult over the past few hundred years. and until housing is wrestled from concepts of property ownership and rental fuedalism, "housing" the homeless is effectively a matter of bringing "free elements" out of the wild and into capitalist control. besides, there will always be people who slip through the cracks bureaucratic initiatives, and these people are left out in the cold because a man in an office did not dain to imagine them when he wrote his legislation. if you actually care about quality of life for the houseless and not just unsightliness, deprivatize unused property, create more robust welfare systems that dont require documentation to access, give people the right to roam and plant and gather, and who knows- maybe in ten years the tent cities will be places of color and joy and life lived in connection with nature. and because people dont have to struggle to find a place to lay their head, instead of desperation our streets will be full of artisans and musicians and laughing people.
fun fact: if you pirated six full length albums from your favourite band, listened to them all back to back 5 times, and then sent them $20 on ko-fi or whatever, on average they would have earned slightly more money per play than they'd get from you streaming the same shit with ads on spotify.
invariably when I talk about media piracy people are like "but what!!! about creators!!! they need to make a living!!!" my homey in romey if you're that worried about it send your favourite artist $5 right now. do it. shut the fuck up.
I want to support artists but I can ONLY do it if I'm being drip fed shittier and shittier versions of the content a tech executive thinks I want. I have no choice in the matter because uhhhhhh other people won't pay for things if they're free. yeah that's right. other people are the problem.
here's the piracy secret big media don't want you to know: you can always give artists money if you want to.
