If I had a penny for the number of days in my life I’ve struggled to propose a sensible way for a government to entirely abolish advertising & marketing, I’d have well into four figures in savings.

Traded one for the other eh. I still haven’t watched that show; I always preferred stuff from the UK, which has their own problems as a viewer like us

Pretty much every popular American media franchise, from films to television programmes to streaming and comic books, has firm roots in heteronormative oppression & the best you ever see for representation is surface-level. There’s always backtracking to bigotry & appealing to the lowest common denominator. You can’t expect any of this shit to be truly intersectional or free of discriminatory elements.

Examples of surface-level representatives:

“Here’s a black woman on our film, you saw her right? We’re not racist or misogynist.” “Here’s a gay man on our show, you saw him right? We’re not homophobic.” “Here’s a trans man on our show, you saw him right? We’re not transphobic.” “Here’s a nonbinary pansexual unicorn on our show. You saw them, right? We don’t kink-shame.”

It fucking never ends & it’s all for you to buy their new shiny bullshit next time.

This is the design that gave me the itch for a screen printer at home

good bot

cw: lots of bodies, soldiers walking by

I celebrate the fact that I had too much a sense of self-reflection to enlist. I also celebrate the fact that many of my ideological enemies are KIA or traumatized by the unnecessary carnage they cause in the name of selfish imperialism, & get exactly what they deserve. Most people in the military just want to shoot the brown kids they couldn’t shoot in their neighborhoods as children, only realizing the weight of murder when it’s too late to reconsider.

Y’all hurry up n’ bankrupt yourselves now, ya hear?

That’s all the criteria anyone converting to any religion today has for doing so, notwithstanding the fact that its genuinely the worst reason for it. Juice = greed, hedonism & predation

The Abrahamic religions have all been co-opted by the bourgeois capitalist empires for centuries, & are mostly just secret societies for people who are so insufferably petty that they could have their lives ruined if you found out one of them gave a great blowjob.

I think one should just lock themselves in a cage in the basement instead of conversion

I WAS RIGHT

I knew someone who claimed to be nb & were also orthodox. Then I found out she was baiting queer women & doxxing them regularly. Why she tried anything on an AMAB idk but she got mad that I figured her out.

I can think of some great ideas for subterfuge & propaganda by the deed if you had a job at wherever these are made, but I’m gonna keep that to myself.

I’m pretty sure this happened to my last two exes, & has a big part to do with why I’m staying single indefinitely.

Edit: adding further to this, it’s also happening to my family members, who I’ve grown more estranged from every day for several years.

“I didn’t shave”

-normal friendships -acquaintances or connections -fake-ass libs or pants-shitting cons snake-sliding their way into your life & tripping over themselves -FOMO because you’re adverse to mainstream social media -enough beans for tacos -steady nerves -any or all chances of quitting smoking -contact with your right-wing family

Seaweed/yaki-nori works for me, but good suggestion. Mamenori is alright too

cw: streets lined with bodies

I yelled to a room full of motherfuckers I don’t even know that I needed a shower, went home and took one after the first screening. I knew damn well that this Orlok was gonna be the biggest PoS version of him we’ve ever seen, but even then my expectations were a bit succeeded. Saw it opening night in the cinema, twice. Best xmas ever

Not enough wild & unwanted hair. Bad take

I would love to see what happens if you fed this guy an Impossible/Beyond burger* with seitan bacon and didn’t tell him shit from shoelaces. He might not be upset by it unless he’s also fettered by cheese substitutes.

*There are far better alternatives for veg burger patties that aren’t even “trying to be meat”, those two brands are just sorta good at disguising themselves (mostly with marketing) so those are my chosen examples.
