@thesarahkelly I consider my student debt to be a lifelong fee that I pay to America for my attempts at upward social mobility, at least until the revolution or the system collapses. Meanwhile, the wealthy hoard money like dragons (eat the fucking rich)
A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards.
Capitalism is a death cult
I don't think it's rudely forcing upon others to say what you want to be called. It’s something every human is owed & is the very reason we invented names/descriptive words in the first place. Please say what you want me to call you when introducing yourself even if I didn’t ask.
@jbarsczewski My personal bugbear with the use of the phrase “plot hole” is when people use it to describe humans not making the 100% most logical/rational decision in any given situation. “Why didn’t X do Y?” That’s not a plot hole, that’s humans being humans.
@RisTheTempest @JoshBarBlahBlah @JoshBarBlahBlah I’m glad someone else already said it, because when I opened mine I thought maybe it was a glitter bomb. Because any amount of glitter constitutes a glitter bomb. The card was safely and thoroughly shaken out before it was displayed.
@waitandh0pe I like astrology not because i literally think the movements of the stars and planets influence our lives (but I mean, it really wouldn’t be that surprising) but because it provides a fun methodological lens through which to interpret and make meaning of what’s already happening
@waitandh0pe Chris, as a devout Jupiter supporter, I urge you to reconsider this take. Jupiter is the big brother of planets: it has taken the hits of an uncountable number of asteroids that would otherwise have wrecked the Earth. Thank you, Jupiter. 💫
@waitandh0pe It would definitely be Laika, the space pioneer, and I would give her everything she wanted and tell her that she was the best and that we’re sorry. I would be crying through my meal. I’m also thinking about Emily Dickinson’s dog Carlo.
@iSHEDWHATiSHED As someone who is literally Doctor Priest, I can confirm the occasional confusion 🤣 I feel like there are some definite adjustments that will keep happening as new grammatical practices update to reflect changing social norms and progress!
@iSHEDWHATiSHED …it began as a way to take some of the burden off trans folks having to always correct people to their proper pronouns (I.e., making pronoun usage not necessarily synonymous with being trans). Additionally, I do think the “stuffiness” of formal titles is becoming less standard.
