Rewatching Tron: Uprising for the aesthetic. They really want you to sympathize with Commander Paige as some kind of good cop, but seriously, how does she not see all the red flags among her peers and especially her boss?
She's a bad cop by reason of incompetence. She's on the side of a fascist state who supplies random violence and still tells herself this is somehow bringing "order" to the Grid.

@dark_soil and that's exactly the kind of socialization school is meant to achieve, it seems 😬 I'd have been so proud if you were my kid or student

@dark_soil it's always been wild to me that schools frown more on fighting back against bullies than against bullying, but your post crystallizes for me why that is: Bullying is a method of social control, a reassertion of power against people who are considered weaker or don't fit the mold in some way. Bullies don't detract from the real function of schools, they help it by excluding undesirables and putting them in their place.

so we all agree that most websites are deliberately made difficult and frustrating to use on mobile browsers as a way to get you to download their app so the owners of the site can more easily harvest and sell your data, right?

Good morning! Have a safe day today! 🧡🧡🧡🐿🌺🏳‍🌈🤟🏻

It's been a minute since I posted here, and I thought I'd share some of the photos I've taken over the past few months!

Have some shiny vixen :3

“Our beloved activist friend is innocent, but they're sitting in jail with a $1M bail, which is ridiculous and excessive for protest-related activities. We are raising money for a private defense attorney who has agreed to take the case, and once we get J.W.'s bail reduced we will need remaining funds for the bail.”

@FreyaManibrandr yeah. it's a cycle of abuse and i believe pretty strongly that it's one of the load-bearing pillars of fascism.

it's part of why we keep ending up recreating the state anywhere we go, because we're molded into a tortured shape to fit it.

even if you're like i was and still am, deep down someone who is really lonely and wanting to work with people in good faith, you lose touch with that

and it is extremely difficult to really change, especially when people still appear to be just like that! but one starts to see different perspectives and it at the very least becomes clear why they're like that, and it isn't a deliberate malicious choice on their part

it's just tragic all around, tbh

i think i have a good idea to summarize the world i lived in that shaped my default worldview for the worse

imagine a world where most everyone your age rejects you for being different, and everyone older than you is either extremely unreasonable and unthinkingly authoritarian (rules and laws are king even if they're terrible and hypocritical, even if we all know they're bad) or they're the few who at least hear you out, even if they're beholden to people who are also like that and their hands are tied

you sure get some very cynical, jaded and dark ideas about people by default, and you pre-emptively dismiss them

and you kind of become one of them yourself, which is the insidious thing!
