i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

"Where is Gavin Newsom?"
The state & local Democratic Party are complicit. Newsom & Karen Bass send the police after protesters & community members.

what made the later parts of this exchange very funny was me realizing that the hornet/lace ship is technically very similar to the rapunzel/cassandra ship from tangled the series. maybe your mom forcibly became my abusive (grand)mother figure, but that doesn't mean yuri can't heal our pain

โIโm disabled and need a ventilator to live. Am I expendable during this pandemic?โ
As medical rationing becomes a reality, โquality of lifeโ measures threaten disabled people like me.
'Even the notion of โquality of lifeโ as a measurable standard is based on assumptions that a โgoodโ healthy life is one without disability, pain, and suffering. I live with all three intimately and I feel more vital than ever at this point in time, because of my experiences and relationships.'

In Praise of Peaches - Orion Magazine
Sometimes a peach is just a peach. But sometimes it's a portal.
'Like an orchard in full bloom, nurturing stories requires care and connection, too. The people we love who are no longer aliveโStacey, Janna, Jonathan, Shizukoโare still with us, and our stories about them are seeds planted with gentleness and hope for the future.'

The UK outright engaged in stationary banditry, stealing from the poor to give to the rich, all in order to appease the most petty xenophobe bigots on earth. And I feel sure it won't even work on the Home Secretary's terms, ultimately all this will strengthen not weaken Reform.

The debate over whether this is 'fascism' is a silly semantic one in which a small minority mean 'completed fascist authoritarianism' and the vast majority mean 'the people in power say and do things that demonstrate completed fascist authoritarianism is what they want to achieve.'

Digital painting of a shiny black horse in a foggy twilight field, his head down to view his own reflection in a pool of water. In the pool, he is depicted standing in a field of golden barley, distorted and rippled. The plough constellation shines above him.

what i love abt tormented trobbio esp is how he embodies the withering, despairing state of pharloom we've seen throughout the game. tragedy is everywhere, yet hornet won't surrender so neither will we. so long as there are still free bugs who sing, we will take up the needle and perform our duty...

games are much like theatre in that both mediums thrive off the direct presence + often interaction of the audience. silksong may be at times hostile, but it's still a dance of two: what it offers can only be experienced if we continue to entertain its invite, much as hornet entertains trobbio's
15.11.2025 22:04 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0
in a sense, trobbio's performances are a metaphor for silksong itself - art that inflicts pain and suffering upon the audience so that some sort of beauty and catharsis can be achieved. perhaps this is why he drops mirrors when defeated, so we may reflect on why we seek such drama and challenge

It's rich that Klein of all people would weigh in on this. He's the quintessential lib pundit who 1) talks to no one on the ground, 2) has no relevant expertise at all, and yet 3) is confident in the path forward. It's the pundits and consultants who have strangled the party to death!

An original illustration from me! Thereโs a cute little cat reaper, in a desaturated blue robe and hood, with a body made of deep purple shadows. She is standing atop a grassy hill of different color stripes that go up in hue (purple at the bottom, then indigo, then blue, then cyan, then light green), and is dotted with flowers in many colors. Her scythe has a crooked, curly purple handle, and two blades (one big one, one smaller one under it).
Around her swirls an ethereal swarm of ghostly souls, all in different colors of the rainbow, swirling around the hill and up into the sky.
The sky goes from dark purple, to dark blue, to dark teal, and up where the ghosts meet it- it becomes a shiny rainbow of colors leaking down into the rest of the background.
In a moment of serendipity, I ended up finishing this piece Iโve been working on for quite awhile now (chipping away between other works) in time for Halloween, AND itโs spooky themed!
I think I started this in September. Maybe even August, lol
At any rate- Happy #Halloween! :D

Iโm sorry, why are we using โcritics accuseโ language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. Itโs not an opinion. Itโs not a disputed or disputable claim.

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now?
Make something.
Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so.
It' s like flushing the brain toilet.
