all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

it's important to remember a person in the fullness of who they were. jane goodall was also a scarf as outerwear style icon, and a babe

jane goodall sitting on a wooden bench, wearing black pans and a black turtleneck or mock neck, a large leaf pendant necklace, and a large earthy green scarf with aua and brown patterning around the edges, looking off to the side with a knowing smile

a young jane goodall, long blonde hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, holding worn binoculars with a slight smirk

princess of the underworld

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Did you used to make LiveJournal icons? Do you still have some of the ones that you made? I'm looking to include more icons in the second print run of my LiveJournal Iconic zine and would love to see yours!

Share them here: form.jotform.com/252444103676...

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

kieu @ we must not stop living @leslekieuart.bsky.social · 20d

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.
