Tweet from matt (@mattxiv): using the passive "dead" and the active "killed" in the SAME HEADLINE is absolutely diabolical Quoted tweet from Sky News (@SkyNews): Latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead as two Israeli soldiers killed trib.al/xORAqhP

Like at this point it’s no secret to the people writing these headlines that this kind of thing has been roundly criticized for years and years. It’s an intentional, conscientious decision on their part. They know they’re propagandists (and, for better or worse, we all are!).

i'm in utah rn and i think my soul is dying

i hate how this actually changed my whole outlook. i'm stlll struggling to act on this revelation, but it's a huge relevation.

I just realized that I fully believe in therapy. I just don't believe in therapists.

idk how many doctor who people i have here but this happened

i want recommendations based solely on tone, not plot.

Tone >> Formula >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> plot

The problem with tv show recommendaitons is that what I mean by "recommend me a show like [blank]" is so weird and specific that no generic list can ever help me.

why are so many job listings just completely fake now. I keep seeing one for Cashier at Aldi in [my Town Name]. The only problem is that the nearest Aldi is over 50 miles away and the location they're referencing does not exist.

Every ICE officer w̶h̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶w̶ should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

That's my question as well. I'm not an audiobook fan.

Snakes on an Astral Plane

This was an interesting formation, coming in at an unusual angle to the main rays, snaking and twisting about.

I like the big storms, and their unusual structures!

Cute little white dog smiling up at the camera. She's sitting at the foot of a human sized bed. Her left front paw has grey fabric stuck in it.

I got home and she was trapped in her bed with her nail caught. I had to use fabric scissors to cut her out. My poor little baby.

if i go to a play, I think it's a great idea to have a place to recycle the programs. most people will just throw them away. But this play I went to had a sign saying "please don't pinch 'em."

I'm going to take it home and keep it for the next 20 years and there's nothing you can do about it.

i love literary analysis in all its forms

People have a lot of misconceptions about mental illness. They think it compromises your perception of reality, when in reality it grants you direct communion with the divine and unlimited secret knowledge of all things. Common mistake.

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

technically it would be an abalona*graph* if we're going with that root word. Glyphs are carved. But I went with ostracgraph in my pedantic comment.

ooh

technicallyyy it would be an.. ostracgraph.

I'm sorry. It is beautiful.

How much training did it take for you to stop murdering people at work?

This is a cop out answer, but I don't think there is one. That's not something your brain is supposed to know how to react to. it just does whatever it can think of.

Talk therapy, specifically

it's not that I don't believe in therapy (when it's not abusive); it's that I don't believe that therapy is the best way for everyone to put in the work of self improvement an actualization.

I need an app with the functionality of reddit but the community and anonymity of forums

i've been playing a dinosaur survival game with my friends recently and we're all playing as Pachycephalosaurus.

Which is great except that they keep calling us "Pachys" and I'm the only one who's been around enough british people to do a double take every time.

if social batteries were materially real, I could probably solve the global energy crisis

Probably

I don't think I want grad school admissions committees to know. Maybe if it was a few years ago, but now it seems like it could only hurt.

asked my supervisor for a letter of recommendation and she asked if i wanted her to write it with gender neutral pronouns, which is not something we've ever talked about

it's probably because my openly trans/nonbinary friends have referred to me as they in her presence but still. idk how to respond
