That fear that you "don't make sense" when you talk isn't about whether you actually make sense or not-- it's usually about having been made to feel in the past like what you had to say wasn't important or intelligent.

The reality is, you are articulate & expressive. Remember.

Hardcore. And wearing a keffiyeh too.

Yes, because Rage Against The Machine exists. (I've been listening to them and only them for months)

As a Ukrainian, if you ever cared about Russia's fascist illegal, illegitimate and unjust invasion of Ukraine, you should absolutely care about US's fascist illegal, illegitimate and unjust invasion of Venezuela. My solidarity and best wishes to all Venezuelans.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

I also got a manual coffee grinder so I can just get the whole beans and grind them to the consistency I want.

I have overflowed it though.

I have yet to burn my tongue on my coffee since getting a French press for Christmas.

Famously, corvids are highly intelligent problem-solvers.

They’re also greedy fuckers.

Kropotkin quote from the Conquest of Bread: "Why has woman’s work never been of any account? Why in every family are the mother and three or four servants obliged to spend so much time at what pertains to cooking? Because those who want to emancipate mankind have not included woman in their dream of emancipation, and consider it beneath their superior masculine dignity to think “of those kitchen arrangements,” which they have rayed on the shoulders of that drudge-woman. To emancipate woman is not only to open the gates of the university, the law courts, or the parliaments, for her, for the “emancipated” woman will always throw domestic toil on to another woman. To emancipate woman is to free her from the brutalizing toil of kitchen and washhouse; it is to organize your household in such a way as to enable her to rear her children, if she be so minded, while still retaining sufficient leisure to take her share of social life. It will come to pass. As we have said, things are already improving. Only let us fully understand that a revolution, intoxicated with the beautiful words Liberty, Equality, Solidarity would not be a revolution if it maintained slavery at home. Half humanity subjected to the slavery of the hearth would still have to rebel against the other half."

Kropotkin's analysis of women's domestic labour remains relevant over a century later.

Cartoon meme of Sonic the Hedgehog (from Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, Jan 1994) lying down and looking smugly at the camera with a speech bubble that reads: “I want bad art made slowly by real people AND I'M NOT KIDDING”

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

I read articles from all over the world every day.

Nowhere is being as…

…destructive

as the US…

when it comes to public health.

Nowhere that I have found… in 50 languages.

AI will never replace novelists. If you think that, you don’t understand what novels actually are.

And you also don’t understand what AI is capable of.

Show me an apolitical story and I will show you unconscious bias.

Authors shouldn't be political is such a bizarre take to me. I cannot imagine a work worth engaging with which is not political.

Genuinely can't tell if this is just regular fascist nostalgia politics or if he just straight up can't taste anything because of COVID

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is your regular reminder that the federal government is actively monitoring social media and most social media sites will comply with subpoenas to some degree.

So, you know. Be careful what you post

Frankly i do not think there needs to be nuance when the topic is systematic copyright theft, unethical data collection, environmental destruction, online information pollution and dehumanization. Like all of that is bad and i dont think you should be arguing otherwise

Like some kind of grim Omen of things to come, #Hawaii ’s #Kilauea volcano just unleashed a MASSIVE WING SHAPED eruption with lava fountains soaring 1,500+ feet high

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every-where. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial ‘outside agitator’ idea.”

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.

All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”

And I’ve thought about that every day since.

always fascinated by idea that i am not being sincere or that my tinglers are a joke or that this is a 'bit'. on one hand i get it because my art is BY DEFINITION unusual, but i just think WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE? what would me being 'fake' even mean? imagine writing 400 books over 10 years for a 'bit'

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.
