Stabby the Space Roomba being a thing really says a lot about us. It started out as a random, made-up-on-the-spot fictional example of how humans will personify and bound with anything (and also make their own fun with whatever they have), and we all instantly bounded with that and started inserting it everywhere we could because we just love it so much. Which is both very meta and the best way to prove the whole point better than any long essay ever could.

Trump, just now: “You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It’s called a nationalist. And I say really, we’re not supposed to use that word. You know what I am? I am a nationalist. Use that word.”
In the future, when they write the history and say fascism in America was like a frog in boiling water, remember that was a lie. We knew and saw and no one cared.It’s real: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/23/politics/donald-trump-nationalism/index.html
Sexual assualt tw, I’m very sorry for putting this on your dashboard
Hello everyone, please consider reading this or sharing this if you would like… I’m intensely uncomfortable with going into detail but I was recently sexually assaulted over the weekend. I’m a physically disabled mixed lesbian and I recently stopped being homeless but live in a very unsafe environment temporarily after fleeing my physically and sexually abusive parents. I have no resources at all and desperately need help to afford things for after care, mostly helping pay for a doctor’s appointment to make sure I am not pregnant or have any diseases from the assault which is a very real possibility… I am so terrified and scared of this situation. My heart feels so so guilty asking for money for this because I feel it was my fault in some way, but I’m so scared and so desperate with no one in my life at all to turn to but my girlfriend. I have never been in this situation before and I am trying my hardest to stay calm and okay, but in reality I am pretty far from it…
Please, I feel overcome with guilt for even asking but if anyone has any spare pocket change this time of year it would really really save my life. My mental health really can’t take this situation and I need some kind of support to make it through. If you would like to, please consider passing around my transgender girlfriend’s PayPal ( https://www.paypal.me/Carinalifefund ) or my personal Venmo ( @mangostrawberry97 ). If you let me know if you donated anything, even a quarter, I’ll send you a really long thank you note and I can give you graphics for your blog, advice, I can draw you art, teach you languages, listen to your music or critique your work, anything anyone could possibly need.
Thank you so much for reading, I’m sorry I’m such a mess and if this seems entitled or indignant… Im so thankful if anyone would even reblog this. Thank you so much again!

also since I’ve started dating an epileptic I’ve been noticing how many plays/art installations/general cultural events use strobe lights for no reason (and with no warning)
not that this particular play is unique in that respect, but it’s one more reason to hate it
he’s also been noticing and commenting on autism-unfriendly elements of public places since he’s started dating me
I don’t want to be all “disability solidarity!”, because he would absolutely hate that, but…what’s the least cringey way I can say “disability solidarity!”?
“We look out for each other”?
I am tired and crabby and roiling with premenstrual hormones and I am sick to *death* of the elaborate mental gymnastics people perform to justify meanness. The golden rule isn’t “be nice, except when it’s hard or you don’t feel like it or you’ve convinced yourself your target isn’t people, lol”
and that’s The Mood ®️
“would step over my corpse for a tax break” is pretty much the definition of the republican party at this point
a whole theatre
PLEASE LET THIS BE REAL
Part of me thinks “Surely this isn’t true” but another part of me is like “This is not the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard”
This is 100% true. Allen v. Burbage (1602) and its outcome has been well documented. Burbage found a loophole in the lease of Allen’s land that said that, while Allen had the right to no longer lease his land to the theatre troupe, the theatre troupe had ownership of the structure (the theatre). This new document discovery just confirms that Shakespeare was absolutely irrefutably involved, as previous documents about the court case didn’t name him. But we’ve always known about this (his theatre company while he was part of it, etc.).
