"Publish or perish" should be abolished by force and it should be ok to just be an academic. Like a guy who just teaches philosophy or something without having to bullshit that you've found a new angle on Kant.

I might have fucking sun poisoned myself, fuck, i read that UVB exposure is much higher from 10-2pm so i made sure to go out then and i was out for like 50 minutes and definitely over shot how much sun i wanted. I feel it just throbbing warmth all over and i expect to feel fatigue and chills later. I just hope i don't get blistering and shit ugh fuck

P.s. nobody needs to warn me about skin cancer, i know, but it turns out it makes my psoriasis go away and im sick of peeling itchy skin and im probably gonna die of cancer anyway so yea

The Noon Wraiths in Witcher 1 were terrifying, especially considering they were just out there in the daytime. Poland is scary.

I went to my first protest ever today. I'm in a small town so there aren't many. I would definitely recommend bringing a sign or something to hold because otherwise you're just kind of standing there awkwardly. Oh well, I was a body at least.

Gen X

Gender X

I turned it off, but I swear during the part of the military parade where they showed the unit of the guys with the little drones, there were only like two drones flying in the air and one soldier was just holding up a third drone.

Like, was it broken? Why would you only have three and only two that would fly? And the drones looked like something you could buy in a best buy in 2014.

It's weird that my dorm/apartment block (Is it still a dorm if people who haven't been students since the 70s live here?) has its own fully equipped bar and microbrewery but no grocery store.

This might be verging on but when those fascist Patriot Front fuckers get in their moving trucks to leave they are literally fish in a barrel

i am He/Himing lesbianly

Need a new collection of hobbies and hyperfixations to shitpost about so that people can't ID me from my old account - looking for maybe a solid half-dozen (6). Suggestions???

Preferably nothing involving physical coordination since I'm a depressed nerd & also nothing math-like because I'm more of an Actual Art Degree nerd than a STEM nerd

I love when cats are dicks to eachother for no reason

This was posted on a Bluesky.

I expected the top reply would be some kind of "Yeah!". I was very wrong.

Nothing says "let's fight back against fascism" like using AI owned by techno fascists.

Just took a look at the front page of this site and all i gotta say is wow, Thanks for sabotaging Obama day lol

I got a lot done. I guess Iran attacking back lifted my spirits a bit and also gave me something to do while doing other stuff. My modified PS1 stopped working but I was able to fix it by finding one of my solders stopped working and I reflowed it. Changed the batteries on the last of my GBC carts. Finished the Haruhi Suzumiya manga. Finished the 10,000 coin grind in Mario Kart 8. Caught up on some YT videos I've been meaning to watch (mostly anime reviews). Caught up on most of my cleaning and stuff. Sewing patches on my backpack because I'm transferring them to a new one since the old one got ruined de to reasons (taking me awhile because it's a pain in the ass to sew with the thick material and I keep putting it off).

I wonder when we're gonna get a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet as a tale of star crossed lovers, one a gooner, one ace

Lord give me the confidence of Mehdi Hasan referring to Greta as "Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg".

Btw how do we not have a single Greta emote? This is why we don't have communism yet

I periodically get the fantasy worldbuilding itch and honestly it's more annoying than anything. Mostly because I don't write want to write a fantasy novel (and don't write fantasy-as-such for my larger creative projects in general), and realistically working full time combined with the active communist lifestyle wouldn't make a d&d group feasible, my main friend group I'd recruit from for such a thing would be people with the same issue schedule-wise.

Maybe I'll pick my d&d hobby back up if I make it to retirement

Had a dream about not being able to get back to sleep. The fuck?

Soy-nazis are saying it's cultural imperialism for the Demon's Souls remake to do "body type A, B" instead of gender. They're so fucking lame.

it is june 14 and stalin saved the world from fascism

Consumed by dread

I hope someone brings a three arrows sign to the Canadian No Kings thing. Like they renamed the event to be pro monarchy big dog turn in one of your arrows

Next week is my last one on lib island , after that I go back home. It was very fun while it lasted, but I'm also happy to see my family and friends soon. It's a weird feeling to have been away for almost six months; and it feels even weirder that I'll leave again for China in September.

Also, I realised a short while ago that one of the planes I take to go back is a Boeing. Wish me luck, comrades!
