hobgoblin of small mind

The world will often spectacularly fail (or refuse) to understand that no trauma survivor is identifying as a "survivor" for "attention" or as an "excuse."

Do not buy into the world's superficial, insulting narratives about trauma.

You just stay focused on your recovery, today.

A full 20% of academic output from the Vulcan Science Academy is dedicated to interdisciplinary research into "Why Are Human Like That?" Many hypotheses, few breakthroughs.

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

A whole-of-society approach rejects the false choice between Jewish safety and democracy.

There is no Jewish safety without inclusive democracy — and no inclusive democracy without Jewish safety. Our collective security depends on both. (5/5)

im a single issue voter and its exorcising from politics all of the participants involved in this absolute moral stain of a policy

Chuck the Evil Sandwich Maker from WordGirl. A man with a sandwich for a head, and a yellow and blue superhero costume including a belt with a sandwich shaped buckle and ketchup and mustard bottles tucked into it. His hands are raised, fingers curled in anger, and he has a fierce scowl on his face

"I am free to continue my dastardly ways!"

I think we need a Tumnus Special vs Longbottom Leaf smoke off.

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

A chonky piebald deer. She looks as if someone dry brushed a white band around her middle, the. dipped her dainty hooves in white paint. She stands placidly on a well maintained lawn lightly scattered with autumn leaves

Behold the beautiful Ohio forest cow in its natural habitat: a well maintained lawn

Godzilla On Land

It was glorious, and intensely frustrating. There were some sublime moments, but by and large the ridiculousness overwhelmed (and, honestly, was part of the charm.) I mean, one of my 'favorite' interactions was with a Cammie named after a sex toy company.

I can only imagine the state of your brain 10 minutes after logging into a 90s era WoD MUSH like Dark Metal. It was pretty much the opposite of your preferred play style.

Is this...Moominception?

People fluffing Newsom make me (un?)reasonably furious

Important Statement from Hot Box Chicken Fingers & Tots If the government shutdown extends into November and results in no SNAP benefit being available, Hot Box will provide free meals to all affected SNAP recipients of Athens County. We welcome community support in making this happen, but we will not allow anyone to go hungry. Kevin McNamara, Owner

A deep (if short) cut

Hey y'all, Link says what up and wanted to pass along a few resources in DC and Tampa, FL where you can donate funds or your time, a thread.

First is Potter's House:

Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion!

That misapplication of Merry makes me particularly enraged

CAPTION AT THE TOP OF CARTOON: The Six Kinds of Republican Panel 1 CAPTION: 1. Overt Racists IMAGE: A natty white man, with a shaved head and a pinstripe vest, is standing on a sidewalk talking directly at the viewer with an intense expression. NATTY MAN: Obviously white people are better at civilization. That’s why we need to stop Blacks from voting. Panel 2 CAPTION: 2. Strategic Racists IMAGE: Same scene as panel one, but now an older, successful-looking white man, in a jacket and tie, has entered and is talking to the Natty Man, putting one hand on the Natty Man’s shoulder. OLDER MAN: No, my friend! We have to stop Democrats from voting. But since most Blacks vote Democrat, we’ll find some excuse to keep them from voting. Panel 3 CAPTION: 3. Enabler Racists IMAGE: We are looking closely at the screen of a smartphone, being held by a hand. On the screen, a well-dressed white woman with a straight haircut is talking. PUNDIT LADY: Since our new election “security” laws don’t literally say “we hate Black people,” it’s unfair to call them “racist”! Panel 4 CAPTION: 4. Pragmatic Racists IMAGE: A suburban-looking white couple stands in front of a two-story house. The man is holding a baby. MAN: Maybe these laws do suppress the Black vote. WOMAN: But we’re white, so that’s not a deal-breaker. Panel 5 CAPTION: 5. Willing Dupe Racists IMAGE: Two young white men are talking. One, with a chinstrap beard and a plaid shirt, is waving his arms and has an angry expression. The other, with neatly combed hair, a t-shirt, and a lecturing expression, has his arms folded. PLAID SHIRT: In what way is systematically making it harder for Black voters to vote “racist”? (Stop playing the race card!) T-SHIRT: We need these laws because millions of “illegals” are voting! (But you’ll never see that reported by the lamestream media!) Panel 6 CAPTION: Not Racist IMAGE: A blank white panel, other than a caption in the middle of it. CAPTION: (No example found)

This is either the shittiest weed ever, or it's perfectly good weed that the idiots vaped whole because grinders are gay

i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

You are not a "failure" for struggling. This is true even if you happen to struggle more than people you know, see, or imagine. Your trauma conditioning is throwing that word, "failure," around to demoralize you.

Don't treat trauma's propaganda like it's real or meaningful.

Mazel tov!

He put his wife in the story as someone who brought down the biggest baddest dark lord in history with the power of song!

These fools with their fake "palantirs" don't get it.

All of modern fantasy has its roots in a woman dancing in a glade for her war-sick husband.

Creatures like Thiel just don’t get it.

Even the Maiar cannot escape the fog of nostalgia. Or perhaps it's just all that Longbottom Leaf.
