like i feel it's a real shame how all online media is optimised for frequency, when a lot of creative things can only really be done infrequently. i see so many people online who are extremely talented but are only able to make small and frequent things with moderate amounts of polish because the attention economy is tuned with a resonant peak at "1-14 days"

@ClipClopBoom that's every woman tho
uspol, voting, PSA
No matter how disgusted you are with this year's presidential options, please vote. Down-ballot matters vastly more when the federal government is being dysfunctional, and the current administration's lingering influence (staff cuts, malicious hires) will ensure it stays that way for a while yet. Years.
Also remember that in the U.S. of A., you have the protected right to vote for literally anyone you want. Write in "lizard people" if you feel like it!
NRA dissolution
If you're a shooter and are distressed at the NRA's being disbanded for rampant malfeasance, theft, and chicanery, then I have good news for you: the Socialist Rifle Association would welcome you.
They're all about firearms, though. No racism allowed.
CW: You are more than your income. This is not your fault.
Don't be too hard on yourself if things aren't working out. We have the worst president in memory, during a pandemic that's killed 160k+ Americans, and the people in charge are not providing any help or relief. The government is the failure here, not you.
You are more than your income.
Don't shoulder the blame and damage your self worth because the system is rigged and isn't working. SCREW THAT. You are not a failure. You. Are. Not.
We're all struggling together! Going to work and catching Covid could possibly kill you or the people you care about. This is not on you! You should not have to struggle or even worry about finding work during this time. It's irresponsible of those in charge to expect it.
You are not worthless.

@wigglytuffitout this is literally my brand
I was afraid of: moving across the country on borrowed money (even though I had nowhere else to go)
After facing the fear: I made it there with cash to spare and found a job within a month that enabled me to get into a house with friends. I was living my best-ever life at the time, inside of 4 months. It was a risk, but when life gives you no other choices, sometimes the best choice is to truly commit to taking that leap of faith and making the best of whatever comes of it.
I can't even get mad at Windsong, he bound my mom to him with Obligation fair and square...
People talk about the appropriation of indigenous culture by white people.
I had the inverse happen, my whole tribe of white people got appropriated and annexed by a native american medicine man and chief. Ever since then, my life has been Full of all sorts of native spirits and beings.
The local fae little folk look at me like I'm a talking dog, and Baron Samedi got on my case for being White.
Apparently celtic irish aren't supernaturally white by default.
@Nerts That fluff description felt like a callout for me.
@Leucrotta
When the waters rose
In the darkness
In the wake of the endless flood
It flowed into our memory
It flowed into our blood
When something broke the surface
Just to see the starry dome
We still feel that relation
When the water takes us home
In the flying spray of the ocean
The water takes you home, water takes you home
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
