oof. yeah the standing is what convinced me. too many days doing the hobble after the long hours without much movement

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

I have to agree! They're the shoe of choice for healthcare workers and after hemming and hawing for over a year I got a pair and they significantly reduced a variety of pains I had. expensive but, alas, worth it

Every day is shut the fuck up Friday.

Shutting the fuck up doesn't just affect you, it affects your friends.

Solidarity with all who shut the fuck up.

why the lipstick. why. why does it look like a piñata

I want to escalate this but one of the things this instructor has done very effectively is ensure that everybody knows how well connected she is. she is extremely manipulative, and I would bet the people that she reports to love her.

man it really sucks to know that my instincts were correct about an instructor. I finally met her in person today for a guest lecture, and it was the most belittled, bullied, anxious, and threatened I have felt by an instructor in my entire academic career. and it WAS NOT JUST ME

the swishy floof tail, I love

Yes! And whatever meal you eat once you're in the clear will be awesome.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Yeah Wisconsin is growing into the times

A brown and white cow stands in the ocean surf, looking content. The text says "I am cringe but I am free"

cringe is so much cooler than apathy. I embrace people being excited about good things and supporting them in dorky ways

right now, showing public support for trans people, for immigrants, and for abortion access is both 1) incredibly important and 2) punk as fuck.

I'm pretty sick of Baldwin's votes at this point. Might get sick of voting for her, too. Would love to see a strong opponent in the primary!

I feel some kind of way about people saying that we are docile cowards when we are being shot in the streets and teargassed on the regular and the response so many have is to figure out where they can go to add their bodies to the list of those willing to die to try to stop fascism from taking over.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

just let me get on the ride. as long as we're vibing that's all that matters

not the POV wars again 😂 Bree time a circle

hmmmmmmm 😌

DUCKLING YAWN

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

AHH

look at those gigantic paws

Avoid easy ways of getting caught up! Always remember - STFU!

A fat white woman wearing a pink one piece swimsuit sits in the water looking at a fish-man creature holding a skinny white woman who is holding a cigarette. The look on her face is less one of surprise and horror than it is "fuck yeah get it girl".

this lady sitting there like "fuck yeah get it girl"
