why do i have to practice shading spheres and cylinders. when am i going to have to... ohhhhhh

Compassion fatigue is a real thing, but in the context of people who work hospice and healthcare and people who do support services for basically anything deeply depressing where you get to know about the worst aspects of death/disability.

It is not about people seeing homeless people lol.

"why do they vote against their own interests?" say the vote blue no matter who crowd before shaming trans ppl for saying we'll never vote for this boiled one finger puppet

little tweak: that petit-bourgeois essence comes out in the social dynamics discussed *but also in the reactions to them*

i am always open to criticism and will not use "it was just a joke/off-the-cuff comment" or "i wasn't thinking that hard about it" as defenses. those moments can be among the most revealing

i initially wrote "sorry if this didn't make sense, i am dumb" and then i wrote "(this itself is a defense mechanism against taking full responsibility for my hastily-written words)" but even though it is funny to respond to a critique of irony with irony, i really shouldn't be doing that

gruesome Newsom will abandon anyone for power, even you

I stand by what I've previously said about this guy. Not surprising in the slightest.

also a defense mechanism for yourself. sorry for the jumbled words that may not make sense, i hope they are at least a little coherent and relevant

of the social dynamics discussed in the essay. but getting back to the immediate, even if i feel indifferently or negatively about what some other group of furs, over there away from me, is doing, memes and irony are not appealing ways of doing critique because you cannot really do critique if it is

furry allows me to break through certain limits that seem to exist for me as an individual, it does not allow us to break through the limits of capitalism. we can only expect so much out of a fandom whose essence is, probably unalterably, petit-bourgeois, and that comes out very perceivably in each

here for the fantasy animal people which drives, if not camaraderie in all cases, at least some level of understanding, empathy, and solidarity. but ultimately our subculture like all others is still *sub* to *the* culture and everything out there will tend to be replicated within. and even if

positively of me. the practicalities of life and my personality have ruled it out but i still, occasionally, fantasize about what fucking my way through a con would be like. i do try to resist feeling above others, and i think i still feel (or hope) that, deep down, we are still all just weirdos

positioning myself as above them. i don't want to take a bunch of photos of myself (not to even mention videos) for social media but i still long for new photos of me on furtrack. i say i dj for one and only one reason - the music - but i still think about branding in the hopes that people think

this is good and, dare i say, important? i always felt pretty detached from or uninterested in the multiple spaces described here - drunken room/cuddle/sex parties, "content creation" of all sorts, brand consumerism - but i, too, am not immune from these tendencies, or the defense mechanism of

Defanged: Furry Cringe, Loneliness, and Memetic Commodity “..Form and ‘self’ are pretty much identical as well. We are nothing but form-making creatures, each of us a one-off, perpetually knitting…

new blog post! It's about Latex Pawjob Soju raising Canes Twinks, annoying memes, self-cloning, and death! It's a doozy! This took me a second to write! Enjoy! medium.com/@jrbenoit1/d...

yes. computers are ew

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

should probably stop thinking about it too much though. the order of preference is probably just going to be win10 > win11 > linux > mac for the next couple years at least

i probably could switch to mac tbh, i just don't want to pay for apple hardware. but then again i'm no stranger to buying old and used thinkpads and androids

dweeb lowtax is responsible for several ethnic cleansings. tweaker lowtax will have killed more people than ghenghis khan on behalf of sundowning reagan v3 when he finally dies.

girlboss lowtax is the true inheritor of his legacy (mangosteen, personally unpleasant, not rich)

The year is 2025. There are three social networks remaining. They are run by Dweeb Lowtax, Tweaker Lowtax, and Girlboss Lowtax. You have to pick at least one.

please stop referring what people make as "content" unless what they're making is so inconsequential that literally no other label works better

call art art, music music, performance performance, dance dance... boiling everything down to a catch-all is insulting and devaluing

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

in isolation it would not be a problem that an anti-ai word exists. the problem is that some people have very gleefully used this particular word as a stand-in for another word that they cannot otherwise say, as a "joke". maybe things would be different if those people hadn't done that, but they did

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

israel is beating and torturing greta thunberg

the intersection of the prime meridian and equator does appear to be the maximum of the ellipse, though
