This Is About Where I Am This Week, On The Inspirational Quote Front.

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.

I feel like we need to stop Twitter callouts and go back to publishing them in the newspaper like gentlemen.

Hi Zoey. Asking from a place of ignorance, could you please explain why Threads is dogshit?

Threads is the Hot New Garbagedump by Certified Scum Of The Earth and Facebook/Meta owner Zuckerburg. It is like if twitter was even worse.

There is ONLY a For You page, meaning you can never just see the posts from your followed accounts who, yknow, you followed for the purpose of seeing their posts.You can't see those. you have to see the algorithm's posts ONLY. You also require an instagram to get full access to all the features like Posting Images. You need a separate social media account to properly access this new social media. And once you've done so, the only way to delete your Threads account, is to delete you instagram account. The Whole Thing. For Some Fucking Reason. Not to mention, obviously since it's zuckerburg, the thing syphons your personal information like crazy, worse still than twitter.

Like ALL your data. as much as it can get. (Love that it says "Other Data" btw. Nice subtle way of saying "whatever else we want") ALSO wouldn't you know it? It's fucking banned in the EU because it violates a bunch of fucking privacy laws!! So it's DEFINITELY not safe to use!

It is as predatory and exploitative as can be, created by someone that we collectively agreed Sucks Shit and Has No Empathy For Human Life and Individuality, and nobody should be touching it with a ten foot pole let alone sign up for it. Not even to test the waters or because it's where everyone is heading, or to see how bad it is for yourself. It doesn't matter if you're joining to get an account ready in case the platform ends up the new big thing. You're feeding the statistics. Even if you're not using that account, Zuckerburg can show the number of signups to shareholders and investors to prove to them that it's viable. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon in case it succeeds, inform people why they shouldn't join, to reduce its chance of success! It's like strikes and protests; The more of us get the word out, the more effective it'll be!

There are two wolves inside Brandon Sanderson. The first wolf really wants the conflict between humans and singers to he portrayed in a nuanced way that makes singers equally sympathetic as, if not more sympathetic than, the humans. The other wolf wants to write cool scary battle sequences against evil demon crab people. The second wolf often wins, but it’s very clear that the first wolf is there, struggling weakly for dominance

I actually love this, how do we start a new holiday?

The commercialized American holidays could really use more balance in their moods and themes though because currently it’s still like

Valentine’s day: love, romance, friendship, sexiness

Easter: springtime, nature, bunnies, butterflies, pretty eggs

Halloween: what if a dead body could eat you

Christmas: joy, family, angels, snowfla

She just sat contented in the comfy chair as I built this up around her

I call this installation “The Cat of Amontillado.”

He put himself in the box entirely of his own free will and then dared to look disgruntled about being on the box. unpleasable.

I shared this weeks on Reddit but since that site is a wreck, I’m sharing over here too. I identified which (100% free!) cape pattern the illustrations of Vin and Kelsier on the stickers in the Mistborn swag box heavily reference! You’d obviously have to do a bunch of tweaks, but I would recognize this torso wrap and dart situation anywhere, so it’s a solid starting point!
