tried to create a DELIGHTFUL winter wonderland experience for rhubarb so she wouldn’t miss out on the snow but she hated it (:
orange, brown, and white cat staring at a shallow plastic storage tub filled with snow. on top of the snow there’s a little snowman and a mostly empty cat food bowl orange, brown, and white cat staring at a shallow plastic storage tub filled with snow. the plastic tub is lying on a turquoise towel and is set on the rug in a living room, and there’s a little snowman on the snow person setting down an orange brown and white cat onto the snow blurred photo of the cat hurriedly getting out of the snow bin

close enough, welcome back Yukio Mishima
screenshot of a Luigi Mangione tweet from 4/18/24 reading: Modern Japanese urban environment is an evolutionary mismatch for the human animal. The solution to falling birthdates isn’t immigration. It’s cultural. Encourage natural human interaction, sex, physical fitness and spirituality: * ban Tenga fleshlights and “Japan Real Hole” custom pornstar pocket pussies being sold in Don Quixote grocery stores * replace conveyor belt sushi and restaurant vending machine ordering, with actual human interaction with a waiter * replace 24/7 eSports cafes where young males earn false fitness signals via Tekken fighting and Overwatch shooting games, with athletics in school * heavily stigmatize maid cafes where lonely salarymen pay young girls to dress as anime characters and perform anime dances for them * revitalize traditional Japanese culture (Shintoism, Okinawan karate, onsen, etc)

really appreciate this rejoinder to the narrative that “woke” lost the election (citing @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social!) arguing that a decade of facile politics of “visibility” and symbolism over structural reform was a failure of the elites’ own making.
It’s also a big tell. The readiness to repudiate all forms of identity politics and group them under the “bad woke” umbrella is less about policy than about perception – social justice is seen as somehow tainting the liberal cause because, well, social justice is the stuff of scruffy radical activism, not upper-class power. Some of this is a broader backlash to a near-decade of breakthrough movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. But it also shows how these never really found a home in the Democratic party in a meaningful way and are seen only as a way to appeal to certain voting blocs. When those voters don’t show up, this is seen as the fault of identity politics itself rather than the fact that it is pursued in ways that are shallow and entirely divorced from voters’ lives. It’s a useful diversion to pretend, and even believe, that dropping the use of Latinx, ditching pronouns or casting fewer Black people in Jaguar ads is the way forward. Yet these are no more than crises of confidence broadly confined to the same class of people who imagine they are relevant to millions outside it. The far more uncomfortable reality, one that demands we raise our game, is that elites created “wokeness” in their own image and have now created a fictional reality in which this patrician class fought valiantly for it and it failed because it’s clearly just not what the people want. But out in the real world, what the people want was never respected or advocated for with any leadership, consistency and conviction. The fight never started.
