The Mind of Daedalus

An image of three screenshotted tweets. The original from user @hell_doe: "Thinking about the girl who bought me coffee from Texas and joked that I would have to ration it out for special occasions. My friend, I do not save my good things. Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets." User Mike Hamilton, RIV tweeted a screenshot of the original tweet to say: "being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" fundamentally altered my brain." User Oliver Darkshire quote tweeted Hamilton to say, "Ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum."

"Your life should not be a museum." "Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets."

Shoutout to Iberville Parish having a BALL lmaoooooooooooo

Leaked Meta Rules: Users Are Free to Post “Mexican Immigrants Are Trash!” or “Trans People Are Immoral” Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

the dominant assumption that one is allowed unrestricted access to speak to others however they will is a deeply recent online construction.

a hundred years ago it would get your teeth kicked in.

thirty years ago, it would have gotten you disinvited from parties, blocked on forums.

Imagine worshipping a God so weak it can be killed by me changing my pronouns. Absolute self-own.

Yeah, I did the classic "Follow - Follow Back - 'Love Your Vibes & Would You Like A Reading?' - Unfollow & Report" dance with that account today. Classic!!

I rarely get shitty comments except when I write about why Pagans and Witches need to support trans folks, so I’d appreciate folks sharing this one and supporting that message. #witchsky

Jesus fuck this is a horrifyingly useful visualization.

Do not obey in advance. Resist. Do not offer an oppressive government what it wants. Do not anticipate its needs and offer up what you think it wants. To do so teaches power what it can do.

Listen, if your take is “Joy is immoral when bad things are happening somewhere in the world,” then you’re not a serious person, your just a fucking puritan and a scold

In researching the next book a trauma expert told me offhandedly she believed most political issues and controversies came down to an argument over whether kids and young people should suffer the same abuse as the previous generation and boy oh boy is that on my mind a lot recently.

Wall Street’s $2 Trillion AI Reckoning The hyperbolic promises from Silicon Valley are starting to meet reality.

Two point six TRILLION dollar valuation drop for "AI" companies. All because these people refuse to reckon with what their systems are actually good at, and what they are absolutely no good for, and keep trying to shove it into every damn thing, regardless.

Black and white image of Prometheus chained to a great rock, watching as the eagle of Zeus descends for its daily meal of his liver. The image reads: 'Every day is a Fresh Start.'

This is what it’s like now for LGBTQ+ students at the University of Houston.

Of course, no one with the university told anyone about this. We found out from these signs which were posted last week.

Take, eat. This is my body.
