You should be able to rot in bed for 2, maybe 3 hours after waking up before it starts affecting what time it is. If I wake up at 8:30 and lie in bed for 2hr it should still be 8:30 when I get up
New batches of Ginger Tabby Cat on both sock and DK. The lighter coloured version is still available on sock but there are only a couple left. Each dyelot is different and every skein unique, just like every feline friend. 🧶 mothyandthesquid.com
Been talking about this with friends so I present to you, the cursed spectrum of media literacy
Woman murders man in broad daylight
A painter in Los Angeles kept missing his exit for the I-5 on the 110 highway, so he did his research, climbed up the overhead sign, and changed it himself without anyone noticing.
This is Richard Ankrom. He couldn’t find his damn exit, cuz it wasn’t properly labelled.
So he took life by the balls, like any self-respecting Californian would do, and used his sign-painting expertise to fix it himself.
He called it ‘guerilla public service.’ Even got himself an outfit to look official. It worked, obvi.
Caltrans investigated, but the sign was actually up to code. They left it there for 8 years before they made an updated sign.

This is the kind of messaging you really want to be seeing from the global hegemon
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you let something slide because you were too shocked to react in the moment, you can bring it up the next time you talk to that person, you can text them, you can let them know it won’t slide again in the future. you don’t have to just accept that behavior indefinitely because you couldn’t gather your thoughts to say it made you uncomfortable when it first happened. you’re not making anything awkward, you are giving someone an opportunity to show care for you, and telling them you trust them enough to change their behavior. there is literally nothing wrong or bad with voicing discomfort even if the moment has already passed.
@snoopyisbisexual: #tbf you are making it awkward but so did they you are even + it is worth it
This is SO IMPORTANT and speaks to the political role of what feminist philosopher Sara Ahmed calls the “killjoy” — an interlocutor who introduces necessary friction to the normative functions of oppression by, in essence, Making it Weird.
Not laughing at the racist joke. Not letting ‘little comments’ slide. Being a humorless feminist. Being a cunt. Holding a grudge. Complaining. Insisting. Holding up the works.
This is and long has been a crucial form of noncompliance in a world obsessed with maintaining oppressive structures through, among other things, carceral norms of politeness, decorum, and subservience. The killjoy disrupts the flow of violent norms & reification of “commonsense” discourses that harm and marginalize people by Making It A Thing: forcing people - esp those with relative privilege - to truly look at inconvenient truths.
And: Not to be all “now more than ever,” but like. It’s really really important right now not only not to obey in advance, but to create obstacles to collective passivity. Kill the sick joy that comes with compliance.
very true! thank you
something I tell myself is that I’m not the one making it awkward.
on one level, you can view it as the other person made it awkward and you are responding.
on another level, awkwardness is a relational experience where it doesn’t exist within individuals but instead emerges on the level of social interaction and relationship. In this sense you’re not making it awkward, it is awkward and you are bringing that awkward tension to catharsis by bringing it up. It’s like a release of pressure.
so in the op, I didn’t intend to say that it wouldn’t be awkward, but that the general “you” wouldn’t be responsible for that awkwardness. things already are awkward whether you respond or not. there is nothing you can do to prevent awkwardness, so it’s a choice between acknowledging it and dealing with it in relationship or silently enduring it forever in isolation.
but all that are just ways of looking at it that help me actually say something, and I think it’s true and correct that we all need to build tolerance for that necessary friction
