“We need to strive to be more accepting of POC” you guys can’t even handle religion.
I still think it’s objectively fucked how the world is built for morning people and if you wake up later than everyone else you’re seen as a malicious aberration of some sort. I am that but it’s not because I wake up at 11 fuck yourself
NEW VIDEO!!!
Join me on an expedition into FURRY LOST MEDIA as I dig deep for hidden cuties, decry capitalism, and shout out The Day The Earth Blew Up
Hi Mark, you have been so long with wizards, have you ever thought of leaving, and giving your mantle to younger minds.
if you do, please do not give it to a woke mind.
You do understand that "woke" just means thinks and cares about others. I sincerely hope my predecessor is "woke". I want them to think about how their design decisions affects everyone.
That said, I have no current plans of retiring, but sure one day. There are many talented designers I can hand off my mantle to.
"But billionaires' wealth is not cold hard cash."
You fully admit that money is a completely made up concept, but we allow people to starve and live on the street because they don't have enough money, even though there exists enough food and housing for everyone?
and it's not even about keeping people “dumb” as it is about keeping people functionally illiterate. if they can barely read, they won't read those naughty books that might make them question the reality handed down to them. they won't have any historical context for the situation they are in or any knowledge of the struggles and victories that followed.
they won't read those books that cause the reader to feel empathy for somebody living a different walk of life from them. they won't read the policies of their chosen political parties or the statistical results of those policies or even the religious scripture in which they believe they're basing their decisions.
and if they can barely write, they will find it harder to transmit their own thoughts and ideas—even orally.
less literacy means people watch and listen to short sound bites and slogans and video clips over anything with depth or anything that brings context or nuance into the discussion. less literacy means creating a society of easy marks ready to be fooled, ready to be misled. less literacy means less ability to understand the scientific knowledge humanity has amassed and less ability to realize when they are being abused. less literacy means less imagination, lower attention spans, and lacking awareness.
I wish more fanartists would put their work on AO3. Just followed an artist who organizes their work by making a series for Fandom X, and within that, they have multi-chapter works for different ships & gen. Every new chapter is just their latest image for that subject.
It's been so delightful not to have to wade through social media algorithms and endless ads.
just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙
