i want devices that are functional and hardy and i want them to last and fuck the rest of the shit i dont need. my ds and 3ds can lie in sleep mode for months if not years and i can pop them open and they’ve still got two or three bars left. my old phones in high school could go days without a charge. if i leave my nintendo switch on the floor for a few days doing absolutely fuck all nothing i will turn it on and it will cry to me mother i am dying. i am dying mother. and i tell him he’ll never be half the man his brother was and he can’t hear me because he’s dead

One of President Donald Trump’s most controversial federal prosecutors is now waging a campaign of intimidation against Wikipedia.
According to The Free Press, Ed Martin, the acting U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation, the parent organization for the internet encyclopedia, accusing them of “engaging in a series of activities that could violate its obligations” as a tax-exempt 501©(3) nonprofit, and of “allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public.”
Martin went on to complain that the Wikimedia board is “composed primarily of foreign nationals” who are “subverting the interests of American taxpayers.”

Not really feeling any safer with republicans “protecting” women, if I’m being honest.

Beautiful Street Art in Hollywood. Walk of shame. By the way …..FUCK DONALD TRUMP!
I wonder the price of replacement of the star.
Remember when people kept pissing on it?
You have to pay to put your star on the walk of fame. I believe you have to pay for replacements too.
yes- reminder its not an award of any prestege
the requirements are someone nominates you and you shell out for the spot
literally anyone who can do those two things can be on the walk of fame, its not something you earn or get voted onto the only merit is ‘i have cash and an ego’its not something you earn or get voted onto the only merit is ‘i have cash and an ego’
I was not aware of this cringiest of facts.

^what he said
ALT“One doesn’t need to make things unnecessarily complicated at the outset. He who raises his right arm at a slant forcefully and repeatedly while standing on a political stage at a political speech in front of a partially extreme right public is performing the Hitler salute. There is no need for ‘allegedly’ or 'similar’ or 'debated’. The gesture speak for itself, it is documented on video. Whoever then wants to reinterpret it, whoever doesn’t want to see (i.e., refuses to recognize) the Hitler salute, does so on their own behalf.”
(sorry I am really bad at translating but this is roughly what it says, for my non-German speaking mutuals)

Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.
From raindovemodel
This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this
I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation
They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.
Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can
“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”
damn that is so powerful though
“it’s easier to
love ourselves when we feel
loved as ourselves”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I passed peer review! Thank you. I think these are important skills for everyone to learn. x

Also remember that letting people cover their faces in public did not lead to everyone getting robbed
And also remember that letting people work from home, and attend virtual concerts, and go to meetings via zoom, and go to conferences virtually, and go to religious services virtually, and go to all kinds of other events virtually and thus, allowing for disabled and chronically ill folks to participate in society like never before…
But now, folks want to take so many of those options away all over again…isolating disabled and chronically ill folks from society again. It’s cruel…taking something beautiful like that away from us after showing us that something like that was possible this whole time since we have had the technology. And now that we know for a fact that the technology exists, non-disabled and non-chronically ill people want to take that away from us?
It’s beyond cruel.
If you’ve never been house bound or bed bound for months or years on end like I have? Or like others like me have? Then you have no idea what this feels like. None.
