white wowtwt men really want us to believe they're progressive when they're out here consorting with known bigots, getting hype over making weird racist jokes, etc. and that we should move along with it because they'll post about how racist plotlines in wow are? pass
my animal crossing character commissions by
@_vinistudio
🥺💕 these art pieces are going to get me to actually play animal crossing again because they're so magical 😭
I will always support additional funding and resources for libraries, but after having been to one of the listed libraries and also having a brain, a separate rec center with dedicated staff is a far better use of everyone’s time and money
Because nothing is impossible and libraries are amazing community resources that can be anything we want them to be, here's a thread of playgrounds inside of libraries all around the world.
Spokane, Washington
2024 will be a year of healing, opportunities, and friendship for all of us! I am grateful that the internet has brought so many of y'all into my life and that we're able to be genuine about our interests together 🤍 happy new year!!!
there are so many people in wowtwt who obviously peaked in high school and don't feel fulfilled as adults because there's no way you'd go around defending people just being awful if you were a happy and self-actualized person 🥴
a Starbucks in a VERY affluent area on my commute always causes blocked traffic because the line is so long it wraps into the road but ever since they decided to remind the public that they love genocide that has not been a problem at all. even these rich ladies don’t want it
this is so dumb like if people are posting bigoted things that's obviously part of how they treat people and if they're dumb enough to put their jobs in their bios or talk about them openly why on earth wouldn't they expect that to come back??
@daddytorii
nah it really was. I never liked it but because of its popularity arts funding for public schools across the us received boosts that went away after the show ended + having a song featured on the show was the sign for artists that they've Made It™
we all agree zuckerberg was weird af for making facebook to rank how hot women at school were so why are y’all pretending noodle isn’t weird right now 🥴
people trying to defend fast food chains like trash overpriced barely-legal food is a god-given right make no sense to me. you can just switch to local places if the desire to buy a burger or coffee is more important to you than simply not buying from genocidal corporations
lrt for real if I mess up feel free to kick me in the teeth!! it’s so annoying seeing other people say they want to be corrected then turn around and have little meltdowns or not take it seriously when they are. grow UP
my vision board rough draft is CUTE, unnecessary apps are deleted from my phone, about 200 tabs have been closed (don’t tell the probably 300 left that they’re about to be closed as well), ~40gb have been removed from my iCloud Drive, more to go! this is an AMAZING year
@WilliamHazen7
also is it weird for drivers when passengers just spend the day on the bus? every time I move, I spend a day on each bus route so I can actually see it instead of trying to plan from a map + it's fun to just be driven around town :')
“shove every human activity into a library and make librarians deal with it with their overqualified but understaffed and underpaid employees and under budgeted resources” is a horrible stance
these results are so annoying every time. y'all recognize that there's no excuse to be a cop, y'all recognize that the iof is morally bankrupt, but people willingly signing up to be depraved all over the world is still acceptable because it's for the us. they are all the same
animals that can hold grudges are fine when they're small like crows but kangaroos? squids? monkeys? parrots? they're too smart AND big I can't do both
esp in the us - all of the mass-produced items we consume come from slavery and exploitation along the production line and we have a moral duty to just stop consuming as much as possible
deactivating again in a bit because I like being deactivated mon. - fri. but this raggedy person is finally openly palling around with a known neo nazi on the tl instead of trying to just hide behind dog whistles
lol do y'all remember when happy feet came out and adults were losing their minds about how an animated children's movie about penguins was too sexy for kids to watch?
like everyone LOVES to keep a certain person's name in their mouths to the point of committing straight up libel but when I say the same things to the same people? crickets
now i'm a white woman and will always point that out but it is so annoying to me to see the reactions from wowtwt at large when white people say the same things as the poc in the community, especially black wowtwt people
while we're at it, a lot of the "made in the USA!" american flags that weirdos buy are made in prisons to avoid using union shops while still pretending to care about american workers
If McDonald's supply chain (they're the largest purchaser of beef in THE WORLD) is dependent on prison labor being paid under $1/hour...
The implications are so SYSTEMIC that it means you have to throw out everything you've been taught to believe about how the "economy" works.
and how those same white people will act like they're above reproach because they're out here posting like that and it always comes off like they're posting for praise rather than actually out of care for community
today’s just a day of people having horrible takes about every aspect of public life and i am going to go back to snacking on frozen blueberries and napping
deleting my entire duolingo account because a 900 day streak is WORTHLESS when it’s going to a company feeding me garbled language created by ai rather than trained professionals who understand the cultural nuances of my target languages! my library will have resources for me!
@Altoholixanon
this is literally where these lists ALWAYS go and the women insecure enough to beg for placements always want to blame everyone else for how quickly that light misogyny devolves into blatant misogyny when they ignored their responsibility to call it out
Neil Druckmann hints in the documentary 'Grounded II' that 'THE LAST OF US PART 3' is happening.
“It does feel like there’s probably one more chapter to this story.”
I normally am nonstop on New Year's Day with rituals but 2024 feels like it'll be a completely different kind of year and I'm really feeling just chilling out today. I think I'm going to make a new sdv file
once again begging people to learn what doxxing actually is before throwing the word around. same with death threats, jail v. prison, and mis-/dis-/malinformation
I really do not want to be on any social media anymore. they're all just scraping our data for advertisers and generative ai development. why would I bother having a social account when I can't use my photos or voice without having them stolen?
Elon Musk's brain chip company Neuralink has implanted its first device in a live human being.
Musk says his brain chip will allow humans to communicate without talking, listen to music simply by thinking of a song title, and treat mental health issues.

and 280 characters is not enough to handle a nuanced conversation. everyone deserves more than one type of publicly-funded third space that serves many different needs, and children peeing on slides or breaking their arms really doesn’t need to happen inside of a library

@HistoriansRead
interesting! how would this square with all of the land currently used for ag in east nc/when hog farms potentially flood into neighboring areas? how could this be implemented without furthering the environmental racism already endemic in these areas?
@ZenIronkeg
why make a Black Lives Matter joke?? I don’t even understand what the joke was supposed to be but that’s not our place come on you know that
now i'm a white woman and will always point that out but it is so annoying to me to see the reactions from wowtwt at large when white people say the same things as the poc in the community, especially black wowtwt people
hi hello I just want to remind everyone that there are differences in voter fraud, election fraud, campaign fraud, etc. most of the charges in these cases were about campaign finances - not voter fraud
This is happening because some amazing journalists uncovered a giant voter fraud scheme involving ghost candidates funded by energy monopoly Florida Power & Light to spoil races. They want to intimidate journalists from taking on the powerful.
@tonyhawktruther
I met some aquatic researchers a while ago who were super cool and made entry sound somewhat accessible until I looked up how poorly they were paid 😭
no one was planning on doxxing y'all ugly ass weirdos! you're the ones posting bigoted things while openly posting details about your jobs! if something bigoted you post hits you irl, it's only because of you and your behaviour + that isn't even doxxing!
"people have to enlist or they'll starve!" most enlistment/officers are generational and not in threat of starvation or needing housing/medical, being a cop makes more money and that's not an excuse to be one, there are always other options
on top of the official duolingo account being in top comments sexually harassing celebrities, being weird af in general, firing professionals in favor of using google translate ai, why tf do they do stuff like this all of the time?? cringe af app
also literally no one was talking about her but she started talking about how people were talking about her and throwing vanessa's name around again??? her obsession is so weird and childish
whenever people get pissy that I turn down club invites because of covid they ALWAYS go “well SOMETHING’S going to get you so you might as well go!” I am in my twenties I shouldn’t have to worry about anything getting to me!! I should be in the club but CAN’T because of y’all!!
I promise all of you in that person's circle it's easier to either go mask off as well or separate yourself + people will talk about your relationships with open neo nazis and how you can't be trusted due to your mistreatment of poc, esp Black people in wowtwt
want to buy minecraft, need to watch seventy trillion hours of tutorials first because my demo was chaotic and stressful and I still don't know how to play
yeah i'm really enjoying this thing I'm doing of being deactivated mon. - fri. and highly recommend it for everyone. the desire to reactivate dwindles more and more every weekend but websites doing this annoying thing of requiring an account to view posts keeps me here for now
y'all government offices do not have to do ANYTHING in response to change dot org petitions. when it comes to stuff like this, it's useless except to make people feel good about having done something. uk official open petitions:
Petitions are mostly trash, but still, this one to expel the Israeli Ambassador from the United Kingdom is on over 90k signatures, so if you have a minute, please sign!
On this day in 1961, US, British and Belgian forces assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's vast mineral reserves. Remember Lumumba.
I’m so glad I left my career in politics behind tbh I couldn’t stomach being around such gleefully awful people and knowing that my efforts to fix things were constantly in vain 🙃 I’ve been able to do more to help people at the micro and macro levels outside of that ecosystem
WOW!!! Haley says that she thinks all ballots should be counted on election day and we should get results on election day. Big applause.
This is total nonsense and this shows that even the so-called "moderates" have gone batshit crazy on this issue.
I've been doing swedish death cleaning and making Scary Calls all morning and feel soooooo good. time to go see friends. have a lovely saturday, gaymers <3
people talking about the bigoted, ignorant, or straight up foolish things you choose to post is not a witch hunt dear lord can the Gamers™ all go look for jobs already so the adults can have actual conversations
there was a club I used to go to regularly in 2019 where the dj would play this at a random time every night and the vibe changed INSTANTLY every time because this is a god-tier song
lowkey want a switch oled but it'd absolutely have to be a used one bc I don't want to buy new electronics anymore and they're never available anywhere near me plus I think it's wasteful since I don't have any issues with my switch
as a lazy but principled person i am so very sick of AI taking over every single aspect of the creative world that i have loved all of my life and it's pushed me into a state of defiant rage that makes me want to create things - things with my own two hands - out of SPITE
