If we sound familiar, you may recognize us from some of our greatest hits like [recalled baby product] or [recalled exercise equipment]. Others may know us from our safety memes which have been called "unconventional" or "have they been hacked?"

As Naomi Klein said, "Side with the child over the gun every single time, no matter whose gun and no matter whose child."

Hot take of the day: a worrying number of leftists are actually just Evangelical Christians with the serial numbers filed off

The world is sinful:a capitalist hellscape but we just have to wait until the Second Coming/the Revolution happens when everything will be magically fixed. Any attempt to make actual progress makes you a lukewarm Christian/liberal anything less than the Apocalypse/the Revolution (which we are forever waiting for btw) is completely useless . Also consuming certain media or makin certain lifestyle choices is sinful and unchristian/bad praxis.

There’s also a common obsession with an ideal “prelapsarian” past–Eden before the apple in Evangelicals’ case, life before colonialism, industrialism, capitalism, Christianity, agriculture(!) in some leftists’ case.

What’s really ridiculous about it is that BlueSky has a feature built right in that lets you copy all the text from an image you’re posting! You click the little icon next to the image while adding alt text and it pops up an option to “copy all.” And most phones have the same option in photos apps.

Screenshot showing how to copy tax from an image to add alt text on BlueSky. 

Image of Text
First add image to post
Then click the alt text button
Then click this icon, which gives you the option to copy all text in the image, and paste it into the description!! (Arrow points to icon that looks like a page of text)


In alt text box: Paste the text here! No need to type it out!

We'll continue to act as an in-person resource and information hub, open from noon to 4pm. A daily meeting at 2pm serves as a space for neighbors to get verified updates and coordinate aid. Hubs have arisen organically in other parts of town—we're doing our best to share and connect resources. 4/?

"own less stuff" what a FUCKING thing to say to people who just lost everything including their homes. Some of them including members of their families. What a goddamned brutally heartless fucking thing to say.

if you don't like her music or her principles or whatever that's fine. those are fair things to have opinions about. but if you're watching a person publicly talk about how unsafe and exhausting fame is and your reaction is "stop complaining or find a new career" there's something wrong with you

Not "Only a little place..." Not "Well, we have to allow room for all viewpoints..." Not "We have to be willing to debate..." Not "But there's a slippery slope..." Not "We've got to separate the art from the artist..." BIGOTRY. HAS. NO. FUCKING. PLACE. IN THE SFF/HORROR COMMUNITY.
