Don't you think it's kind of insidious how the world was like, "For safety, you need much more complicated passwords!"
But then, "Aren't passwords soooo complicated? You should let us scan your fingerprints, eyes, and faces! It's easier, safer, and totally normal info for us to have and keep!"

Every store has been sending me "Black Friday is Now" deals for two weeks, and the discounts are really no better than they always have. Can we officially declare this advertising holiday dead, yet??

I just beat The Radiance at the true end of Hollow Knight. I was so stuck on that boss that I played through THREE OTHER VIDEO GAMES before being able to do it. I am so embarrassed by how long it took, so proud, and so FURIOUS that there was no PSN trophy!!

Can you spread the word about weaintbuyingit.com? This is one of the easiest and safest ways possible to fight back against the current administration. If you've been saying there's nothing you can do - you're wrong! All you have to do is not buy from Amazon, Home Depot, or Target for five days.

My dad in TN texted me, because apparently the guy setting a woman on fire on the Blue Line made national news. It's obviously a heinous and scary crime, but is that really the most useful stuff to show nationally? It's not like the guy is in TN, it literally only serves as a Chicago fear-builder.

So you're telling me that Vox and Alastor were BOTH skinny brunette glasses-wearing Tumblr sexymen in suits?

There are orgs that want to use the energy around all of this to push for censorship/surveillance legislstion as well as promote swerf ideology under the guise of supporting victims
