Yeah but it lets people feel like they’ve boycotted. Which isn’t coddling/faux activism so much as it is starter-activism. We don’t want activism to seem hard… even though we know that effective activism pretty much requires meaningful changes to behaviour which often brings discomfort. People are really out of practice and our goal is getting people into the habit

I am that person.

I’m here out of sheer bloody mindedness, it felt like both Lemmy and Mastodon actively resisted me using them at. every. step. from discovery of service to accessing service to finding content

I’m trying but damn

12:

Corner bite - a balance of crust and content, a display of delayed gratification

Good bite - because you did so well delaying your gratification

Corner bite - because you hope the richness of The Good Bite will transfer somewhat

Navigating the last corner:

• Rotate for a heavily crust>content corner bite - the build up

• Deliberately smaller, last of the crust bite - the set up

Last Good Bite - smaller than The Good Bite but, equally, aren’t you clever

Barjory Buffet: The Cruise Detective

Relisten-able because it has the highest joke per minute ratio and tightest comedic writing you’ll ever hear.

One part Beyond Belief, one part Wooden Overcoats, and one part Clue.

It balances nimbly crafted wit with camp absurdism, and the cast all nail the patter delivery. It has such a strong capable tone you know that you’re in safe hands and your time will be well spent.

Am happy to concede that I’m just a dumb dumb, but to say that I was confused by both what to do and how to do it would be a wild understatement.

For the curious, this is from the dropout.tv show SmartyPants where comedians present lectures and it’s amazing

The Song of Achilles - Madeleine Miller

Might be controversial, I apologise, but in it’s soul and bones it is the straightest “gay” book I’ve ever read. Straight people keep heralding it as a Queer Classic™®© in a way that queer people don’t.

A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara

At first you give it your good will and chapter by chapter the creeping horror sets in that the emperor has no clothes.

Trash in lit’s clothing

No she didn’t

She’s said she’s voting for Kamala but that this is not the same as an endorsement by Chappell Roan ®™©

But people heard the words “problems on both sides” and deliberately took it completely out of context and have been bullying her about it for weeks

I…I um…

It’s like I “know” all the options (pros and cons and obstacles and things to think about) all at once, any time I have is then spent on the emotional consequences of them. But more time doesn’t usually mean discovering more options.

With my aphantasia it’s not that it’s all quiet in there, unfortunately you still get the carousel of regrets/self criticism etc, but it’s a carousel of emotions with no narrator if that makes sense

A friend asked me the same thing, they have a back and forth of voices, at significant speed, and then they reach a decision. Whereas I just “know” all the pros and cons (to the best of my ability) all at once if that makes sense?

It’s like I just “know” the text. It’s just in there with no intermediary.
