    oh my god, scientists have found a new planet that we could probably inhabit; it's already got the right atmosphere, distance from its star, even infrastructure for humans! literally all we;d have to do is lower carbon emissions and it'd be totally habitable for humans

    biden seems fine but a lot of his supporters (fossil fuel companies, weapons manufacturers, insurance companies) have been pretty mean to me :/

    morbidly fascinated by the “under communism no one would make art” arguments….there is something so compelling about someone just straight-up admitting that they don’t understand, like, joy

    we joke a lot here on twitter dot com but we should all remember that the only REAL “hot take” was made by prometheus, and he was eternally punished for his crime

    the weirdest thing about adhd is constantly being told things like “if only you would use the motivation you put towards [hyperfixation] for [work thing] instead” as if motivation is this neutral resource that you can just “put” somewhere

    it’s so annoying that dnd players seem to only correlate charisma with seduction. i want less “lol our bard keeps sleeping with everyone” and more “lol our bard keeps giving impassioned speeches and starting revolutions”

    protip! making fun of shitty ppl’s looks isn’t bad bc it hurts their feelings, it’s bad bc it: - implies that ‘ugliness’ is a factor in being shitty - perpetuates the idea that beauty = good - takes attention away from the actual bad thing - makes ppl who look like that feel bad

    Why we're using 'womxn' No, that's not a typo: 'womxn' is a spelling of 'women' that's more inclusive and progressive. The term sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, and explicitly includes non-cisgender women.
