A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

my thoughts EXACTLY

idk. drag race has been like this for a while but it really sucks that all of this feels so transparently in service of the franchise’s continued viewership when it should be about celebrating exceptional drag. I’m tired

like I love myki and was rooting hard for her but this doesn’t feel like a win at all! NINI BROUGHT OUT A FUCKING PUPPET!!!!!

feelin quite sick of the meta gaming from production on ru paul’s dragged race. why put nini coco in the final two if you weren’t gonna give her the win when she obviously won that damn lip sync? plus it seemed so clear to me that they shoved off Darlene for the badly flagging all stars franchise

Window of a barbershop in Arles, France with an image of Goku from Dragonball Z in an apron and holding a barbershop pole and scissors.

Van Gogh spent a lot of time in Arles, France. There's a restaurant that used to be a hotel where Van Gogh stayed and in a letter he wrote that the food was bad and they overcharged him for wine. Directly next door, sharing a wall, is this Dragonball-themed barbershop.

An illustration of two Anglo-Saxon era lesbians. One is embracing the other from behind, burying her face in her neck while the other smiles joyfully, they are adorned by a background of various patterns inspired by the era's artwork, including metalwork & jewellery as well as illuminated manuscripts. The patterns involve a lot of swirling & abstract floral & animal motifs. The woman being embraced is standing at a warp-weighted loom which is being used to weave a fabric in colours of the lesbian flag (orange, white and pink).

🧡Sweet mother, I cannot weave...🧡

blessed are the perverse, for they shall inherit the earth

been tinkering w/ a magic system that incorporates labor as a major force of transmutation magic and like. hell yeah. i really enjoy systems with accessible / pedestrian in-roads

a photo of a passage from NIGHT WATCH by Terry Pratchett When he moved, you saw movement; when he stopped, he wasn't there. Magic would have been suspected and, in an oblique way, the watcher would have been right. Ninety percent of most magic merely consists of knowing one extra fact.

i’m sayin

I have seen one good example of this plate

been channel surfing while I work today and boy. cable is a bummer. every commercial targeted at seniors is the lowest quality ai. meemaw is gesturing at heaps of false groceries, hands phasing through full bags of “TNNUNNR DOOOT” and “PRUGA” while a doctor with a cartoon tie beams veneerishly

the best quality five whole American dollars can buy

yeah I’m pretty excited to work these back into the wardrobe rotation lmao

an “I BACKED KICK HEART” shirt that should have been signed by masaaki yuasa and eunyoung choi were it not for the cruel and evil con runners who stopped the signings just before I could get in after waiting in line for two hours!!!!!!

A thoroughly cracked and faded sayonara zetsubou sensei shirt I bought from the j-list booth (!!!!!!) at a con in like. 2010 lmfaooooo

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today

even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now

how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

all of America's bravest elected Democrats jumping into action to post vaguely on social media about how somebody else should do something

Two panels from “go for it nakamura-kun” showing an octopus, and nakamura standing in front of a ? 35 gal? doesn’t matter. too small for an octopus the size of his head

folks are always trying to cancel syundei for fake shit. “they write incest and necrophilia-“ don’t care actually. let’s talk about real crime: this aquarium is too small for an octopus
