you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

The thing is, until you have personally experienced this kind of targeted operation it sounds like tinfoil hat or the ravings of someone who has lost their grip on reality.

And once it happens, almost no one will believe you if you so choose to confide. You end up alone, frozen

"unalived" lets suicidal people talk about it without tripping automatic moderation which typically locks people out of their social media accounts, cutting them off from vital support, and in some cases those posts have been forwarded to local police.

Easily one of my favourite films of that era, it's a shame it's so often overlooked.

(and yes, I'm *so* glad we ended up with the final cast and concomitant character adjustments)

Had to block people absolutely pure raging at me over this. Only Bluesky would see this and take it a) 1000% seriously and b) 10000% personally. Actually, so would Threads. You wanna be Threads, fucko?

When you say only the โ€œgenuinely disabledโ€ should receive support, youโ€™re aiding fascism.

When you say people are scamming the system, youโ€™re aiding fascism.

Many disabilities are invisible and itโ€™s hard to get support.

People arenโ€™t scamming. Thatโ€™s โ€œuseless eaterโ€ rhetoric designed to divide.

Applying US tipping cultural mores to your price calculations when making claims about Australian food culture is disingenuous at bestโ€”that part was entirely on you. It was a US$25 pizza. Sorry it didn't agree with you mind!

It's ludicrous to include that in the cost of the pizza when it's not remotely expected here.

It really sucks how non-existent the coverage of the WA local elections is. NZ last week was lively posting plus media coverage. Qld gets full-on media attention. As far as I can tell, no major outlet is so much as doing a live blog tonight; the West Australian and Perth Now are focused on Telethon

Yes, you read right, WA has a whole local govt area with 55 registered electors and a total population of 109 (possibly lower now; that's the 2021 census result and it's been declining across censuses). As proof nobody lives outside Perth, its land area is 32,882.2 sq km

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
