usually that’s the way it goes, but every once in a while, it goes the other way too

[alex @joysprick]

@hell_doe that episode rules. have you gotten to sisko’s monologue in In the Pale Moonlight yet? (ps i don’t even like star trek like that but ds9 might be my fav show. it’s so good)

[alex @joysprick]

@_lizharvey see that’s interesting! for whatever reason there were no goths in my or adjacent years going through HS. a healthy variety of other alt and rural/country ass subcultures but not even a whisper of Type O Neg on the breeze. so i don’t know much about them tbh

[alex @joysprick]

@_lizharvey everything is reduced to an “aesthetic”, and aesthetics are pretty conceptually thin objects. might associate the aesthetic with some music, but. i guess you can’t swap between aesthetics as quickly if they have actual meaningful commitments

[alex @joysprick]

@_lizharvey not to be all, “kids these days…”, but it does seem like a lot of kids these days think of subcultures more like they’re skins for a video game character than anything else, let alone a whole worldview

[alex @joysprick]

i know literally no one wants to hear about it ever again but i think gamergate was kind of a big deal

[jennie’s wife @jentayIor]

the right wing radicalization of high school and college aged men is truly one of the biggest crises in the us and it goes nearly completely unaddressed

[Aphex Twin Updates @shellyrealest]

I know this is aphex twin updates but jesus christ

[alex @joysprick]

@_lizharvey yeah these numbers and margins make it very clear. this is what people want

[alex @joysprick]

@alechimboldi bro im so scared

[alex @joysprick]

@alechimboldi oh for sure definitely a good use of resources and very limited time lol

[alex @joysprick]

@hell_doe honestly this happens to me not all the time, but often enough. makes me feel like i’m losing my mind

[alex @joysprick]

@maiamindel been there a few times but had no idea they couldn’t move the collection around! i always thought displaying the empty spaces/frames was really touching

[alex @joysprick]

@realroborthman yep did exactly that in january

[alex @joysprick]

@WelcomeToDot we moved recently but taxes had nothing to do with it—i like government services and i think they’re good. not being able to afford housing, on the other hand, was 3/4 of the reason we left.

[alex @joysprick]

@WelcomeToDot oh i used to walk along there several times a day with my dog. would have been keying the shit out of that thing. driving a cybertruck in boston city limits is absolute psychopath behavior

[alex @joysprick]

@_lizharvey it’s like a perfect storm of stan culture and the desire people have to tear other people down

[alex @joysprick]

@_lizharvey people just do not know how to behave about her at all (or, you know, in general)

[alex @joysprick]

@azninthesun ok so i guess they can mostly tell by dilating the eyes and then looking at them with lights and lenses. that sucks when they do it to me though, poor babies
