Basically, yeah, this is true. Same thing where if you pay a musician $10 on cashapp and then pirate their entire discography, you're still paying them more than Spotify would for the same amount of music.

Some streamer talked ages ago about giving 5$ directly to the stream would be more actual money then having every youtube video he's made just running on repeat all year would give him.

Wish I could internalize this

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage.

The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

🦋🌹🐟 Happy one year anniversary to '1951' 🐟🌹🦋 - the bioshock au story i'm writing with one of my best friends @/rapturessaviour.bsky.social

thank you for showing me the magic of storytelling through roleplay 🥹✨

a front cover-esque illustration for the first anniversary of a story called '1951' that i am roleplaying/writing with my friend @rapturessaviour.bsky.social

The image features a center art-deco-like golden frame, adorned in various fish, with a rose and blue butterfly at the top. Inside the frame are three scenes featuring the same couple, the characters Colin (brunette) and Fenneden (blonde).
The top scene is them in masquerade outfits, dancing in front of a giant view into the turqouise bottom of the ocean that colors them so.
The middle has them holding each other as well as the golden frame, their faces intimately close. Blue light hits them from the back, a warm orangey red lighting up their faces.
The bottom scene has the two sitting down, Fenneden with a slice of red relvet cake on a plate, Colin with a book resting on his thigh. The blonde holds a fork ahead of the face of the brunette who, intentionally, has cream cheese on his nose. Beneath them is the title of the story, 1951, followed by a subtitle reading 'Am I corrupting you? Are you corrupting me?' - as well as a gramophone to the very right.
Behind the gold framing is various side characters, each glaring in various ways.

A quick elevator pitch of the plot in case you're curious: "In the underwater city of Rapture, the tailor Fenneden Fergus picks out the amnesiac pianist Colin Faust as his next muse for an ongoing sick desire, under the guise of 'Romance.' Colin quickly falls under the spell, the proces of affection simultaniously triggering long-lost memories, revealing the musician's true brutal nature. Secretly a homicidal maniac, Fenneden is the one person eagerly delighted by what he uncovers in Colin, causing him to suddenly feel DIFFERENTLY towards this subject compared to his usual ones.
Slowly, they pull each other away from each of their initial hoped outcomes, love and death, and meet somewhere in the middle."

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?

TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach.

You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING.

You do nothing? You get nothing.

Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH.
