I am adding some artistic embellishment here. Actually if I were to reboot Captain Planet I would have a different planeteer group, and Captain Planet himself probably needs a little design upgrade (although who can say no to that grass mullet?). Did you know the original planeteers are based on IRL activists? There could be something like that with a new group of activists. I was rewatching some episodes and it was interesting how some things aged terribly while other things are just as poignant as it would be today. But the important takeaway is exploding shit and beating up capitalist pigs is fine, actually

we are all so emotionally fried that Dolly Parton had to get on the internet and tell us that it is all gonna be okay

BREAKING

In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

This, all this. On top of that, survival mode leaves no room for creativity, your brain just doesn't want to know about it (at least, for me)

Oisín McGann @oisinmcgann.bsky.social · 5d

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 5d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

I also feel like any AI such as Lt Commander Data and such would immediately question its own existence as ethical.

Laika L. Gagarin @laikalgagarin.bsky.social · 7d

You know AI isnt sentient or conscious because if it was the tech bros would deny it any rights regardless.

Inktober and social media ruined doing things for fun or as you please in your spare time and I will never forget how trapped it made so many people feel instead of encouraging personal growth and community

every trans person I've spoken to is feeling the Drag Down right now. not everybody has fallen into despair but we're all feeling it creeping in around the edges, doing our best to fight it. things are bad. if you know a trans person, look after them.
