kinda think horror movies serve the same emotional function for humanity as the Greek tragedy once did: catharsis. same goes for film noir. you get to feel some bad feelings for a couple hours, and then you exorcise them.
So. If you are in ANY emergency situation — let’s say you park in your driveway, & only as you begin taking your groceries from the car, you see movement in your home that is supposed to be empty. And a broken window. You cannot drive away to somewhere safer to get help. Your car refuses.
You are at a traffic light. Suddenly someone is trying to get into your car (this has happened to me). You have a split second to accelerate & leave him in the dust. Your car shuts down power.
The school calls. Your daughter has fainted. You cannot drive to the school to pick her up because your car notices your eyes are wide & you’re breathing fast.
Your car now controls whether you live or die in an emergency situation. And those controls cannot be overridden.
No matter where you stand politically, I think we can all come together and agree that putting spyware in our cars that watches what we do and can decide whether we’re even allowed to drive is a direct violation of our 4th amendment right and absolute tyranny.
going to work stressed about what the miis are getting up to without me. i don't trust them to be out unsupervised. they're gonna fuck up all their relationships if im not in there playing god
So you’re telling me that the Moon’s many craters are from billions of years protecting Earth by pulling space rocks into her orbit. The moon who is depicted as a woman in countless cultures and timelines? You’re saying her craters and stretch marks are evidence of care? Has someone informed the poets about this?
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
