Let this Oompa Loompa be an inspiration for us all to just try to get through it with kindness even though our reality is constructed by assholes and actively falling apart.

Other photos were located showing she really was just doing what she could with what she had:

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of forms of regulation of recreational sex and birth control would/will be largely broken-taillight-type laws. By which I mean when you create a law you can’t possibly really enforce, it’s just a blanket power to selectively harass people you don’t like.

The dumbass who only telegraphs his arguments in public is telegraphing them again, they’re coming for birth control

Journalism is a *learned skillset*. The industry isn't just dying it's completely eliminating knowledge and abilities that took people decades to perfect. No matter what you think of "the media" without those skills you couldn't just wake up tomorrow and write an article worth reading.

Absolutely and it's not just talent, it's also a specific and special set of skills developed over decades, with generations of passed on knowledge, and it's all just evaporating into the ether.

Journalism is really thriving under the business model of “private capital takes over, the new bosses pay themselves whatever money is on hand, and then they announce oh jeez this place is broke we gotta shut it down“

is journalism actually dying or is it being aggressively murdered by the dullest minds and deepest pockets in business

Daughter tells me she heard today that if you wear a band T-shirt (especially as a young woman) and a man says to you “name five of their songs”, the correct response is “name five women who trust you”, so I pass this on in case any of you need it

it’s time to burn the incense, it’s time to slay the sheep, it’s time to wake the muppets, from a thousand years of sleep. it’s time to raze existence, it’s time to banish light, it’s time to call the void in, on the muppet show tonight.

one of tech’s biggest problems is that it used to invent stuff that made people’s lives better and easier and in recent years has pivoted to “fake money for scams” and “plagiarism machine that puts you out of a job”

This is what blows me away every time. There's no one who NEEDS predictive text machines. It's not curing cancer or feeding people or producing clean energy. It's just sucking up resources, convincing CEOs to fire humans who do better jobs than it can do, and allowing founders to siphon VC money

I’m just begging you: When somebody posts something about “the media” isn’t covering something, please make sure, before you internalize that idea, that the person is saying something more than “this is the first I have personally heard of it.” Which is a very different thing.

I don’t have the best manners but I truly don’t understand what goes through the mind of people who will leave an empty at their table when they go up for their next. I want to study y’all in a lab

i don't know why this is so hard for people. biweekly means you are attracted to your own week and also other weeks

Can we all just agree that “biweekly” means every other week, and “twice-weekly” means twice a week? Or better yet, just get rid of “biweekly” altogether?

The individual responsibility narrative around environmental protection is designed, from jump, to get us pointing fingers at each other instead of regulating polluters

Today I learned that carbon footprints were invented by BP and pushed in a mega marketing campaign to shift the conversation from corporations to individuals and I hate everyone. Except NPR, thanks for the reporting.
