A diesel V-line locomotive like when we were kids. It has a fresh orange coat of paint. Imogen is crouching in front of it respectfully.
A V8 interceptor like in Mad Max. It's yellow and red and blue.
I think I found the coolest place.
These guys are like "I crave the authoritian dude from Catholicism but I read The God Delusion in 2010 and became intolerable about religion so now it's too embarrassing to do Christianity and I have to make up a computer god to punish me instead"
The B-52s do the theme song
It's also an attempt at philosophy by people who are completely unequipped to do philosophy.
It's a Nickelodeon show from the 90s about a guy who's parents are a chicken and a snake.
Also, the two genders
Fantastic alt text.
Goals
Um, the grand old Duke of York, he had ten thousand tops...?
Extremely gay company
Seems likely. I'm sure family values were undermined whatever it was.
Katie and Imogen out at night. They are both masked and wearing black. Tattoos and shoulders are out.
When u r very gay
Text that says Das Boot. It's red on a black background.
I think every guy in Warhammer is a scrungly little guy at heart. No matter how many serious and grimdark glow-ups GW gives them, the scrungle is always just beneath the surface.
I'm sure there are no examples in folklore of things going poorly when you believe someone who is called fae when they tell you something that isn't true
I would edit that to fae knows stuff and also talks a lot of shit and sometimes faer brain makes connections and assumes they're true
Uh actually don't quote me on this.
Hot cross bolus?
Um, Ishtar's blessing on you
I want to make a happy easter/happy estrogen joke because they have the same linguistic root
Not a conversation that doctors are particularly equipped for unfortunately
Yeah I'd love to see the data that apparently backs up that claim. It feels frustrating because a lot of this seems very divorced from the social and economic context of what it's discussing.
Have you read Caliban and the Witch? I think you'd find it really interesting. The thesis is that witch hunts were used to wrest control of women's reproductive labour into the hands of the powerful as part of the development of Capitalism.
And the medical response to this situation individualises how it affects people. So instead of saying this system is harmful to life, medicine says certain *types* of people struggle in this system.
I'm not going to say I think we're pathologising humanity under Capitalism because I don't think the link is that direct, but I do believe Capitalism (and Mercantilism and Feudalism before it) has always devalued humanity, it's just become much more efficient at it.
idk, I think 80% is pretty optimistic. Maybe the productivity tools help people get things done faster and there are people who are able to tolerate them but I think all of this is fundamentally inhuman.
I do think it's worth examining why those conditions weren't being reported before and are now though. I get the impression you're probably saying both these things can be true though.
That is very true.
You can get a letter asking nicely that your employer make 'reasonable accommodations' like noise cancelling headphones or a slightly darker room, but good luck getting one that requests meaningful work, or for a landlord not to price gouge you.
I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if clinicians were to say there's nothing wrong with you, what you're feeling is a completely normal response to a society that's fundamentally broken.
