I remember when a Time Hortons removed tipping to spite a minimum wage increase in Canada.
The gayness leaving my body whenever a liberal talks about pride.
I remember when kink scenes and DnD were the only times I could feel like the normal one in the group. I'll defend kink till I die.
One could certainly make an argument that lesbian stuff catering towards male gaze and fetishization is weird. There's a lot to unpack on this guy's stuff, but I think I'd rather read The King in Yellow.
Buffalo wings must be extra dangerous.
Huh, I could be depressed on a budget in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, that had me wanting to burn stuff a little more than usual.
I gave Dumb Gay Podcast a listen. They blamed Iran for people not voting Biden and enthusiastically cheered on the US taking Taiwan. I think the person making this graph just looked at the title and assumed it was radical left.
I do kinda hate myself for laughing at that one.
Not sure, but they probably looked like this.Embrace tradition: retvrn to punch cards.
She's as big as the Olympics. That's a little sad.
Buckshot Roulette, Darkest Dungeon II, and Hades.
It is kinda wild. I used to read some nihilist folks like Nietzche and my takeaway was to make what you can of nothing and help people when possible. Others just use it as an opportunity to be evil.
I should likely preface this to say this isn't an explicit defense of that chain of stores and that I am as Polish-American as a pierogi. So..., super !cracker .
On a recent trip there for some reasonably priced clothes 1 the overall vibe kinda set in. You pick up a coffee2, grab a cart, and just wander through the aisles looking at the basic colors and neat little things. What this is effectively creating is a "sanitized" version of a Farmer's Market or Flea Market.
The years of wastes composed of manicured lawns and bloodthirsty stroads, paired with decades of neoliberalism and nuclear family focus has left people wanting. People are spread out, alienated, and rarely if ever get the feeling of a third space or place to wander without spending money. While money is certainly being spent on Target, in a weird way I can see how it tickles a small part of the brain when you're out replacing a jacked-up appliance or grabbing some school supplies for your kid.
Maybe you could argue this goes as far back as the enclosure movement or that the only time it felt pronounced was within the past 50 years or so, but it's a weird flocking spot for those clearly experiencing an emptiness or lack3. This is a case to maybe feel less anger and more pity4.
- Finally affording better than the Ace Hardware jeans, baby!
- Though I won't cause I'm not a Zionist and I'm picky enough that I own a 1 pound roasting drum.
- I think I'm using this right.
- Though I also know people who have worked Target and some of those suburbanites can only get off if they made some teenage worker cry.
Some Hall'oweeny music from an artist who's really been gaining traction lately.
I'm a bit fond of collecting stuff. Coins, cards from defunct TCG's, books, and I'm doing my best not to get into stamps. Oh, and of course anything spider themed.
SpiderFarmer [he/him] @hexbear.net I like banjo, spiders, and a future with a planet isn't on fire and the working folks can actually live fulfilling lives.
