Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

if you want to vote for a third party, what you are going to do is vote for biden in november 2024 and then as soon as that’s done, start trying to get ranked choice voting in your state

we will ALWAYS be a two party system until voting reform happens, and voting reform won’t happen if project 2025 happens.

suck it up and vote biden, then put the next four years to good use

quick translation in case anyone is curious

A trans man coming out as a man is never a loss.

I don’t care if he went into a male-dominated field. All fields are cis dominated.

I don’t care if he’s a straight man now. He should be allowed to be himself and happy. He does not owe it to you to be a miserable lesbian for your comfort.

I don’t care if you thought he was hotter before. His happiness is worth the price of your desire. Also you’re wrong and I’m giving him my number.

More trans men is a good thing. More trans men means more closeted trans men are feeling safe to come out. That’s a good thing.

annoying as fuck

I think my favorite memes are the ones about insignificant but universally relatable things

thinking abt when pacrim said there are people out there who will have the capacity to know you completely and love you in a way where you genuinely complete each other, VERY much a metaphor for platos concept of two souls splitting from one and then said this is important because you can pilot a huge robot and beat up giant aliens together

apparently someone in Edinburgh has been updating the street signs for pride

Love that. This is the type of energy we need on this blog.

yeah, love is love. Even platonic love and queer platonic partners. Even aesthetic love. Even love without sex. Even familial love. All love is love.

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.

What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.

My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

i'm so glad i happened to see these tags this is the best thing anyone has added to this post so far

this video has been all that i think about for days now

The Sick or Injured Test

So yes, I have been thinking about this because of Reasons, those reasons being that I’m watching a lot of like, tiny house design videos while getting over the tail end of the flu, but it occurse to me that a lot of the awesome, clever, innovative, space saving designs I see would be utterly unusable when you, say, have the flu. I’ve been chronically ill my entire life, so it’s second nature to me to look at a space or situation and go “How will I manage this when I’m feeling like a pile of dog turds somebody heated up in the microwave?” But a lot of people don’t consider this kind of thing, and get blindsided when they’re sick. So I propose a simple test for the livability of a house design:

The most common way to fail the Sick or Injured test involves putting stairs, or worse, a ladder, between the bed and bathroom. Loft beds fail by default, and are a blight.

A solid majority of my household is mobility impared, and my brother uses a wheelchair, so I am well aware this doesn’t cut it for a lot of people. But most disabled people are aware of what they need from a living space, and a lot of able-bodied people forget that they are walking around in flesh sacks that will sometimes fail on them, and that even if they are lucky enough to never become disabled, they will probably get the flu. So they should consider just what their living space will look like when they do.
