so I'm going to try to give up social media for lent! the last time I tried to do this was 2020 and I stopped halfway through because at the time it seemed reasonable to be like, hey, I am ALIVE. hopefully that will not happen again
earlier today I was like, am I going to give anything up for lent? what could I give up for lent, and then I realized i had just stopped looking at this website on my phone so I could immediately start looking at it on my computer
it's just like they're drunk assholes at a baseball game!!!
yeeeeesh
In the dawn of man, he was a lonely creature, naked and defenseless. Life was short and cold. Then, groups formed and found strength in numbers. One of them said "I will become a customer success team lead." Another said "I will write tickets on Jira, Asana, or Trello." Thus was paradise realized.
Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.
those ads on the bottom of websites are right: mature, beautiful women DO want to talk to me right now about topics of 1960s entertainment, wig, rocket scientist wizard who blew up, interior decorating, astrology, the beach boys, astrology, and astrology.
I have no interest in policing other people's personal health choices in any way. If you're taking a GLP-1 and happy with it, then I'm happy.
But we're never going to be a country without fat people — or the need to treat each other with grace and humanity regardless of size.
Just like the narratives around trans rights and racial justice, this framing constructs "activists" as unreasonable, radical and holding all the power.
"Do you know how mean fat activists are if you lose weight?"
Do you know how mean everyone else is if you don't?!
Conservative and reactionary centrist media is trying to set up a narrative in which GLP-1s are some kind of existential threat to body positivity and fat activism.
It's bullshit. If you want to lose weight, go for it. But not everyone can or wants to — and they deserve equal treatment regardless.
Back on my meme game
"it's ready? hmmm... maybe Andrew Jackson thinks different??"
The Xteink X4 is underpowered, flawed, has no backlight, and no touch screen. But it's tiny, cheap, magnetically snaps to your phone and has a devout community loves it. It has bloomed into something special thanks to open source firmware. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/xteink-x4-ch...
Poem zine.

Happy Lunar New Year to all celebrating. I am personally inspired by the horse because it is powerful, beautiful, and beloved even though it is also VERY nervous
"emerald fennell" is a my little pony ass name. not interfacing with that
Pronouncing faux pas like “fuck pass”, bringing it all full circle
Traditionally it would be one meal and two snacks per day
always a possibility.... it's early yet...
Ash Wednesday The first of the forty days of Lent, named for the custom of placing blessed ashes on the foreheads of worshipers at Ash Wednesday services. The ashes are a sign of penitence and a reminder of mortality, and may be imposed with the sign of the cross. Ash Wednesday is observed as a fast in the church year of the Episcopal Church. The Ash Wednesday service is one of the Proper Liturgies for Special Days in the BCP (p. 264). Imposition of ashes at the Ash Wednesday service is optional.
Fast Fasting is abstaining wholly or partially from all or certain foods, for physical or spiritual health. The extent and rigor of abstinence depends largely on custom and circumstance. Ancient Jews used fasting extensively. Christ taught it and practiced it. Early Christians fasted on specific days of the week, especially Wednesday and Friday. Baptismal candidates fasted for up to two days before their baptism. By the late middle ages abstinence from food was required before the reception of communion, and western Christians also fasted during Lent by abstaining from meat. As a spiritual discipline, fasting is an act of contrition, cleansing, and preparation. The BCP recommends fasting for the season of Lent, which Christians should observe “by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's Word” (BCP, p. 265). The BCP designates the weekdays of Lent and Holy Week and all Fridays except in the seasons of Christmas and Easter as days of “special devotion” with “special acts of discipline and self-denial” (which normally include fasting). An exception is made for the feast of the Annunciation in Lent and feasts of our Lord on Friday. Although modern social habits have led to a decline in fasting on Fridays, and in Lent and Holy Week, the BCP calls for fasting, discipline, and self-denial on those days.
like.... but what am I supposed to do/not do tomorrow. I'm not supposed to eat until sundown, right?

in the arts people will always talk about how "having the ideas" is actually the easy part but it seems like maybe that part is also pretty hard
visually read this as you grasping at prizes in a claw machine
