I don’t know who made this, but I’m glad they did. It’s an inspiring sentiment.

The term "Luddite" has become synonymous with "technophobe" but that's not what the Luddites were about. They were a labour movement that fought to give workers control over the technology that was advancing without oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

"Luddite" as a pejorative was a technocrat PR coup.

Tekenaar @royaards verbeeldt in @Trouw heel treffend hoe verschillend Nederland en Duitsland op de opkomst van het fascisme reageren. #NieWiederFaschismus #WirSindDieBrandmauer

If neurotypicals are allowed to be so fucking annoying in public, maybe we should just stim to annoy them back ​​

I remember when i finished my last year in high school, my art teacher told me “promise me you will never stop doing art, please”

And i was really confused, because i was not good at it
And i thought that my art was really ordinary

I really didn’t why she told me that
Why me?

And more than a decade later, i finally understood: it was never about doing great art, but all about having fun making it

I always had fun doing her art exercises, even if it wasn’t good or very ordinary

I didn’t realize it at the time, certainly because of alexythimia and masking (so self gaslighting), but yeah, i loved her classes

And i loved making art

I stopped art for years, but two years ago i started again and since i experienced a lot of fun! ^w^

"Ah but what if we can tame the torment nexus? What if we can redirect its power and domesticate it, make it serve the people? Why should we throw away the opportunity to use the torment nexus for good instead of evil?"

"Aha meta is coming to us! Now we'll rule the roost! It's our time! Our time to be important! To get the recognition and accolades we deserve! We will be the fediverse ambassadors!"

"we must force Meta to be accountable" has real "we must push Biden to the left" energy

Respect yourselves. Stop letting people tell you that the reason kids sleep twelve hours and can't remember breakfast is from missing a few months of school years ago, and not from sitting in rooms full of filthy air, cycling a degenerative plague back and forth for years after.

"immunity debt"
"desocialized"

You should be livid that you were ever expected to believe such bald-faced bullshit. You should be livid for the life they stole from all of us, and especially, from your very sick kids.

The mainstream media have been bleating more frequently of late about how the Millennials and Generation Z are uniquely enamored with getting filthy rich and the trappings of wealth, but I just don't see it.

Most of the people I know from these generations, and I myself, have super modest ambitions.

Daydreaming about hitting the jackpot is, for most of us, less about luxury cars and huge mansions - and more about finally being able to escape precariousness, to know that we can live in our little house and know that the meat grinder's tendrils can't touch us in quite the same way any longer.

To support ourselves - and to be in a position to provide genuine, lasting support to the people we care about.
