To offset The Weight of things, here is my naughty gremlin cat making tea with her catnip mouse and looking UNREPENTANT about it:
Some days I imagine how much improved our economy would be if minimum wage was = or > a living wage in every area, all workers had the inalienable right to join a union without interference, and service industries were prohibited from short staffing (determined by the workers not mgmt).

This is the thing I think trolls, etc don't understand: Once I block you I literally never think about you again. Shit, five minutes after I block someone I don't remember who they are or why I blocked them. They simply and literally don't exist for me anymore. If this is a victory for you, fine.
Some of y’all must have a blocking kink. It’s weird — you’re intentionally rude, obstinate or worse — in my replies as it daring me to block you as it gains you something. I won’t remember two minutes from now.

As someone who works in physical media (traditional illustration, beading, etc), it's enrichment for my ADHD to have my supplies neatly organized EXCEPT FOR one box of random junk. When the Junk Box gets too unruly, I sort it, which can be fun, but otherwise it's nice to NOT have to sort EVERYTHING.

Time for your quarterly reminder that degenerate is a Nazi term, indicating the literal degeneration of a gene pool. Things this referred to: interracial marriage! Queerness! Disability!
It pretty much indicates they don’t think you’re human!
It’s not a cutesy way to say “leftist”

in 2016, prior to the election, an analysis I read said "the democratic party works like a business, and there's a great deal of loyalty to people who are part of the machine. Think of it like an organization that promotes from within, rather than a political organization with a shared platform"
I mean my objection to people like Newsom remains fundamentally a moral and ideological one, but even to the cynic who thinks of politics as a game it's not even tactically advantageous. You're alienating people who might be part of your voting coalition to do... what, exactly?

(clinton and her era of 60s-era democrats ejecting the 'old' democratic party that'd done the new deal and trying to deregulate banks is part of why we're here; it's not just gerontocracy, it's also that dems in the 1960s went hard into the pro-corporate capture side of things)

Loss of accustomed privilege is not oppression/discrimination/victimization. It's just evening the scales.

There needs to be a category on FB where you're not "friends" with someone but "still mutuals so I can see the Drama unfold."

If we make the fate of Trump and his cronies the sort of thing fasc whisper about to scare each other we could go back to that glorious minute when I thought no one worse than Romney was going to be run for decades yet. Mark you I was preparing to fight to keep Romney out of power as plenty bad. 🧵

Racism and bigotry as blatantly expressed and practiced by Donald Trump and his administration should absolutely be considered "high crimes and misdemeanors" in that they result in biased and unlawful treatment of different classes of constituents.

"What if the AI hype is correct?"
IDC. I don't want it, I won't use it, and you can't make me be happy about it. My grandparents lived their lives without computers, vcrs, or any music device newer than an 8 track. Not cuz they thought these were bad but because THEY, PERSONALLY, didn't want it.

I'm gonna be PISSED if the rumored MtG Universes Beyond HP license is real.
Is it just me, or does there seem to be a wave of HP licensing going on? More than I've seen in years, actually.

Bought an original acrylic painting of Starbuck by Ashley Kennedy to hang on the wall where my Sandman poster used to be (which I'm still salty about bc it was done by my favorite comics inker, P Craig Russell):

My natural tendency is to vent/rant when something incredibly aggravating is happening, but I am not doing so right now because I am One Of The Official Adults and that carries Responsibility.

Anyway, if you want to know why we live in the world we do, it has a lot to do with the fact that we live in a culture that is structured and predisposed across the board to protect privileged people and specifically white cis men who leverage abuse for gain or pleasure.

I cannot stress this enough: court case after court case has ruled that AI does not count as an author when it comes to copyright. Any minute now an AI bot is gonna start reskinning and reselling AI slop and the "authors" will have zero legal recourse because they didn't actually author shit.

AI steals others' talent without compensation. AI poisons water. Social media has already worn away at our ability to deeply concentrate... this is worse.
