(Deacon voice) bad news guys the supposed milf i recruited into the railroad is infact a teen mom
Arthur has been coming to work with me most Tuesday afternoons since we don’t have appointments. Today I ordered a grocery pickup for after I got off so he had to wait for them with me. He was very nosey abt the ppl next to us getting their car loaded up
The thing society as a whole doesn’t understand about nature is that absolutely nothing is just a worm or just a bug or just a plain little fish that does nothing but swim around and eat until it dies. Every single animal has a complicated life and habits. Minnows make nests out of pebbles. Slugs have courtship rituals. Fruit flies have territorial battles and when they can’t get laid they become alcoholics all in those few days that they even exist on earth. Just the functions of the different body parts of a dust mite can fill a lecture and we still don’t completely understand everything about its life habits or its biochemistry.
Little guys contain multitudes
imagine if mamma mia and glass onion were happening at the same time in the greek islands
Wow there’s some fucking bullshit going on in the replies here. Moderate your fucking spaces on the internet, kick racists and other bad actors to the kerb or you risk losing everyone else. This guy has the right of it (scroll up to top).
Quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices
For anyone who can’t/won’t read that twitter thread, it’s by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) and it says:
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”
And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.” And i was like, ohok and he continues.
“you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.” And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.
[ID: Screenshot of a tweet from @/AmazonChique that reads ‘Pathfinder FB fan group banned all racist members. The next week, they saw a drop in harassing & threatening posts of ALL kinds. From the mod: “I encourage every community to quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices. Get the rot out and you’ll have a healthier community” End ID]
I was thinking about this post again and I remembered something I’d read somewhere else.
When people complain that you’re not being “tolerant” of their hateful nonsense, it’s important to remember that tolerance is a peace treaty between all parties.
If one side is trying to get another killed, they’re not owed shit.

You think I came in your ass? Check behind your ear!!
I need people to stop condemning something because it is “criminal” and start asking “is it harmful?”
I need people to stop condemning something because it is “deviant” and start asking “is it harmful?”
I need people to stop assigning notions of criminality and deviance to harm, and start asking “how do we prevent harm? how do we mitigate it? what do those harmed need to be safe and heal? how can we support these processes?”
The corollary to this is that people need to stop claiming things are “harmful” when they’re just *uncomfortable.*
*chanting over and over at dallon james weekes* aren't you tired of being nice. don't you just want to go apeshit
Placebo - Every Me and Every You
vast swathes of young people becoming more and more empowered to voice reactionary sentiments towards all kinds of disabled people because their internet circles collectively decided that someone on tiktok was annoying about their adhd
i hate the atomising of any and all quirks into "symptoms" of "neurodivergence" with nary an impetus towards antipsych or the social model of disability to be seen as much as everyone else but good fucking god a significant number of us actually cannot fucking do certain things no matter how much you berate us or make that incapacity into reasonable internet meme currency
taking this one out of the notes because i’ve been seeing more and more of those posts from leftists a la ‘how are you planning to aim bricks at cops and overthrow the government if you’re afraid of asking for directions on the street’
for a deeper insight into this, i suggest reading johanna hedva’s 2016 essay sick woman theory which posits that exact question. if your leftist activism does not include disabled people, who is it even intended for? who is integrated into your utopian vision of the future?
