"no time for time, doctor time!"

doctor time sighed deeply, stepped back out of his time machine, unbuttoned his time vest, put away his time maps and time lenses, put back on his spectacles, and sat back down at his desk to finish his fucking taxes

update, upgrading to windows 11 has bricked the fucking laptop again

i think it's still just the cmos error i never fixed because keeping it charged and asleep meant it never tried to cold boot from zero, so once i can get past that again it should be fine, but JESUS CHRIST

Help fund SIN!

Sin the #smut peddler 🔞 | Comms open! 🎧💗 @sinmademanifest.com · Sep 9

Hey loves 💗

I'm struggling financially atm and I really need some help. If you have the time, please read this 🧵.

I've explained the situation on Reddit & included screenshots of that in the pics & a link is here ⬇️

All my links here ⬇️

Check out my current Fansly promotions! (and how to support me financially 💙)
About Sin 💗
Hi loves 💕

I'm going through some financial difficulties at the moment, but I'm really bad at advertising my platforms, especially while I'm still working on my recovery and I generally prefer to work for my income than accept donations. (I absolutely don't judge anyone who does—I just struggle to do that myself.)

That said, if you have the means and would like to support me financially, there are various ways to do so and I'd be incredibly grateful, especially right now. I'm trying to improve my photography and recording equipment as well as create a soundproofed space to record in, and I just can't afford these things on my own.

Monthly subs— 🔥 Patreon | 💙 Fansly

Check out my current promotions on Fansly!
My creative work is my only means of supporting myself, and I do this work full-time. Financial support helps me improve the quality of my work for you, both in terms of my equipment as well as just ensuring I can pay my bills.

The reality is that if I can't make this work in the long-term, I will have to stop focusing all my energy on creating and look for alternative means of earning an income. So, if you enjoy my work and want me to keep sharing it with you, financial support will help me continue doing that. ❤️

Please know that if you can only offer small donations from time to time, you're welcome to do so and I'm extremely grateful.

Wilson did this by having people attach photos to federal job applications which allowed for easier discrimination

t2va.bsky.social @t2va.bsky.social · 3h

I will never stop saying that attacks on federal employees are a racist re-enactment of Woodrow Wilson’s racist imposition of segregation in the federal workforce, which worked as designed and wrecked the Black middle class

Victor Ray @victorerikray.bsky.social · 4h

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

And more pointedly, we know the right hates disabled ppl. But liberals and the left have a massive ableism problem that is so deeply rooted and that the pandemic highlighted so clearly that we largely feel like we’re out here fighting alone

Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 17h

I think the average person does not realize how ableist our entire country is, and relatedy how bad most media outlets are at covering disability issues.

Peter Thiel, watching Boss Baby: Getting a lot of antichrist vibes off this one

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 5h

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

People enjoy seeing Black people poor , they enjoy lecturing us about it, they love ignoring our observations by pointing to " commitments"

and they love feeling justified when we have appropriate human reactions they can villainize to justify the inequality
