// THANK YOU SO MUCH TO MY BELOVED FRIEND FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS
every single subreddit for a C list city is just suburbanites in their late 20s early 30s trying to meet up to play d&d, asking what bars are good, and complaining about traffic. it’s a look into america’s future. we’re all going to get further and further away from each other physically and socially while simultaneously trying to claw back some semblance of normal urban life without ever realizing what it is that’s keeping us from living the way we want to live
if you had to pick 3 to 5 frogs in an attempt to show off the diversity of frogs on a whole to some aliens, which frogs would you pick?
(is this just so I can see some funky frogs? maybe)
Flat–Round:
Pipa pipa and Breviceps macrops
[first image: originally form Arkive, which no longer exists, which is sad as hell; second image src]
Big–Small:
Conraua goliath and Paedophryne amauensis
[first image src; second image src]
And a fifth one for good measure: an arboreal, green, weird-shaped frog with stunning patterns.
Cruziohyla craspedopus

Location: In a private karaoke room in the back of the livehouse
Keito: What is this place?
Kaoru: You don’t know what karaoke is? You’ve probably never played around like this so you wouldn’t know, would you Mr Honours Student?
Keito: I know what karaoke is. I’m asking why there’s a room like this in the back of the livehouse.
Kaoru: Yumenosaki’s pretty strict on a lot of things, so we were trying to expand our horizons. This lesson room has all the proper equipment and soundproofing, but it’s never been that popular.
Koga: Hmph. Those Yumenosaki guys who were supposed t’be the ideal customer aren’t even interested in playin’ music.
Kaoru: Yup. That’s why we made it look like a regular lesson room, so it’s more accessible to the general public. It’s a new service we’re providing.
Koga: Ah~, so that’s what happened.
Kaoru: Almost painful to see how much effort I put into managing the place. I was trying to gather as much information as I could, working as hard as I could~.
In the end, this place became a safe haven for kids who felt they didn’t have a place in Yumenosaki, and for those who wanted to use the lesson room like normal.
That room was renovated, but nobody really used it so it returned to how it was before. We started running out of lesson rooms.
Ahh, this is super nostalgic… I was really giving it my all back then.
Koga: Shoulda tried harder in yer idol activities ‘n school work. Barely saw you at school back then, ya know?
Kaoru: Well, me back then didn’t have any interest in that sort of thing ♪
Kaoru: Oh~? That’s weird…
Keito: What’s wrong? Did you see something suspicious?
Kaoru: Sakuma-san was supposed to be waiting for us here, but he’s nowhere to be found.
Keito: …Sakuma-san? What does he want from me now?
Koga: Wait, Sakuma-senpai’s comin’ here?! Hahah! I can’t wait ☆
...I acted like such a sheeple back then, it’s embarrassing.
Kaoru: Aren’t you still embarrassing sometimes~?
Rei: Yo~.
Sorry for keepin’ ya. My bad my bad… Coupla scary people caught me~. Hadta to explain some stuff to them which took a while.
Haa, bein’ popular’s a pain.
Keito: ...
Rei: Oh, you actually came, bouzu. What a good kid you are.
Keito: You were the one who called for me.
Rei: Right, ‘course. You lucky you get to see me like this.
Ain’t you embarrassed? I beat you up so hard the other day you couldn’t even stand ♪
Keito: ...
Rei: Uwaa…. Noooooo~, I was sooo embarrassing back then~...
Why was I acting like that? I should have had more tact!
Koga: ...Is that you, Sakuma-senpai?
Kaoru: Ahh, it’s like we’re right back there.
Rei: Indeed… It seems you’ve come to grips with the current situation. We are looking at ourselves in a ghost-like state.
This is hell of earth, having to watch myself act so embarrassing for such a long time. What sort of crime would you class this as?
Koga: Hn, you’re just reapin’ what you sowed. I live my life stayin’ true t’what I believe, nothin’ I’d be embarrassed by people seein’.
Koga: Kyaaa! Sakuma-senpai! Kyaaaa! I-i-i-it’s a privilege to be able to meet you like thissss![1]
Koga: ...
Rei: You’re amazing, Koga, so mentally strong… How can you not be embarrased after seeing that?
Koga: I am so sorry that was extremely embarrassing of me.[2]
Kaoru: Uwa, Hearing Koga-kun use keigo is such a treat.[3] Whilst I’m not as bad as you two, I would rather not have my immature past self put on display for all to see.
But why’s this happening? I guess it’s part of the AIIE project.
Rei: Umu… At the moment, I haven’t any more guesses.
I suspect that, since we are all connected to the same device, our dreams are being mixed together.
Koga: Do you think so? Aren’t dreams supposed t'be more of a private affair?
Rei: Well, this is technology that not much is known about yet.
Kaoru: Now I feel like I’m going to regret taking part in such a questionable experiment.
Rei: We cannot turn back the clocks now. All we can do is adapt to this current situation in as little time as possible.

Chapter 7
I know someone who calls herself a feminist, puts her pronouns in her work email signature, donates money to women’s empowerment funds, and thinks we should deport more refugees. I also know someone who calls people ‘pussies’ when he plays video games, who doesn’t know what a pronoun is, and, for his defence of low-wage women workers in a highly-exploited industry, is a better, more strident defender of the rights of working-class women than almost anyone else I know. Of these two people, I know who is on my team, and who I want on my team, yet the standard liberal feminist calculation would have me chose the woman who loves a little deportation over the man who is occasionally uncouth, solely because the woman knows to keep her language civil, and the man doesn’t. Liberal feminists get incredibly caught up in the politics of language, because language is all they have. They don’t have a revolutionary programme for overthrowing patriarchy, so they’re forced to tinker around the edges of it, quibbling over word choice and jargon instead of building the coalitions necessary for destroying patriarchy.

AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”
