"over-the-counter sleep aids are correlated with dementia" hi yes do you think that not sleeping for the next 30 years might also have some impact on my cognitive function

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

Super excited to post my submission for #AugurMicros2025 !

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

A purple background with a galaxy and birds flying in front of it. A four pointed star is on the top of the image with text below. The text reads: "augur society, Microfiction Contest, stories for the futures we need." A purple bar beneath the text has a symbol of an arrow inside a circle with the text "swipe for guidelines" to the right of it. A darker purple bar at the bottom of the image reads "Enter by September 30, 2025"

If it was up to her, it would all burn. But, unfortunately, that wouldn't actually solve anything. So she did as she was trained to do: picked up her sword, put on some lipstick and went hunting for those who smelled of money. You see, once you amass such a wealth human minds can't fathom, you become a dragon and princesses are trained to deal with dragons. It's silly to think princesses need to be saved from what is their natural prey. And she was the best one yet.

Actual story was too long for the post, so it's in an image with alt text

americans have learned nothing from korea vietnam yugoslava iraq afghanistan syria libya etc etc etc because they are sociopathic egomaniacs who believe they have a god given right to destroy other peoples lives for the right to drive hummers and eat five big macs a day

If you're going to choose NOW to decide to say that the Iranian government sucks, I'm going to assume you just want to manufacture consent for colonialism.

You do NOT get to invade other countries because their governments are bad. WAR IS WRONG. UNPROVOKED WARS ARE EVIL.

revisionist dark academia has finally taken hold of my soul... burn those ivory towers to the ground like 😖🔥

But no, it's "too literal". Do you know what else is literal? Arson 😀🔥 Anyway I have a better title for the les mis/mr sunshine stans (aka me lol)

I am SO tempted to call my book's third part "Propaganda of the Deed" because that's what it literally is 💀

If I said #scarletwip 's MC basically writes the anarchist version of the Burn Book with extra emphasis on the 'burn' part would you believe me?

Here's another easy praxis for you: be kind to service workers.

This morning on my way to court I stopped by a coffee shop (not Starbucks, I'm still boycotting) for a small green tea. The person there got confused when I said "thank you very much" because no one else today had said that to them.

만세!!

Writing my science fantasy wip and realizing that downton abbey has UNMATCHED horror vibes

I feel like we don't need to deadname Vivian Wilson in order to dunk on her deadbeat father who she will DEFINITELY outlive.

Thank you for the support!

Least paternalistic bourgeois capitalist ever 🙄

"My religion/culture says" I do not care. Your religion does not give you an excuse to exclude people who face racism and bigotry JUST LIKE YOU DO. Be better than the violence you claim to oppose.

Why do "pro-Global South" people keep blasting queer existence as "colonial western liberalism" ? Queer people have existed for centuries before western colonialism. Solidarity with the Global South means solidarity with EVERYONE in the Global South. No exceptions ffs.

me too 😝

Really grateful to everyone involved in #Revpit !! editors & other writers. Thinking about being able to submit next year makes me more excited to finish my current wip ✨✨

happy the giver day, aka the day i finally made a secret project playlist !

STOP. FUCKING. REPORTING. PALESTINIANS.
