it is weird seeing usamericans apparently under the impression that the problem is 'robot shaped like a dog' and not 'the bourgeois police & state apparatus'

there's a lot to hate but i think my least favourite thing about AI generated images is that now every time i see a really cool artwork on the internet, instead of childlike wonder i experience suspicion

M-11 had been forgotten in the fight, the constructs not even noticing the being that did not register as living. That was Thelius’s first mistake. His second was to threaten any of Atlas where M-11 could hear him. M-11’s shoulders set back as his eye glows, beginning to heat up with pure fury.

Chapters: 2/3 Fandom: X-Men (Comicverse) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Black Tom Cassidy/Cain Marko Characters: Black Tom Cassidy, Cain Marko Additional Tags: small child Theresa Cassidy, Period-Typical Homophobia, Internalized Homophobia, Secret Marriage, Handfasting, Background the Troubles, Syncretic Faiths, Marriage Proposal, 1970s, Inaccurate Catholicism, Praise Kink, Submissive Cain Marko, Sexual Content, use of honorifics during sex Summary:

“A strange unserviceable thing,/ A fragile, exquisite, pale shell,/ That the vast troubled waters bring/ To the loud sands before day has broken./ The storm arose and suddenly fell/ Amid the dark before day had broken./ What death? what discipline?/ What bonds no man could unbind/ Being imagined within/ The labyrinth of the mind?/ What pursuing or fleeing?/ What wounds, what bloody press?/ Dragged into being/ This loveliness.” - The Only Jealousy of Emer, William Butler Yeats —– In Mayo, Tom takes Cain and Terry to mass each Sunday. Every. Sunday. Cain has never learned so much about the Bible in his entire life. And he’s never been more confused about religion either. Tommy takes him to mass and they sit together, and sometimes when Tom goes up to receive communion he puts Terry on Cain’s lap. And Cain is sure that the little old ladies who coo over Terry’s curls and her pretty Sunday dresses know that they’re together. Tom had told them all that Cain was a good friend who’d needed a place to stay while recovering from “a heartache” (what a way to talk about his family life), and had carefully assured them that “though he is a prod, I can assure ye, it’s only cause he’s American.”

Palestine should have already built their own port, but they didn’t.

They should have their own greenhouses and farms, but they don’t.

They should have their own bomb shelters, but that’s clearly not the case.

Their hospitals should be state-of-the-art - they shouldn’t need to go to Israel for treatments - but they do largely rely on Israel.

And instead of asking why this country that has received billions in aid still doesn’t have basic infrastructure, you get mad and blame Israel.

You don’t question why the leaders of Hamas are billionaires. You don’t question why their military budget is so high if their people apparently live in squalor. And you don’t question how this country can build extensive tunnel networks, but not a single damn bomb shelter.

No, you just blame Israel - a separate country - for the failings of the Palestinian people and their government.

I'm the "voting is good" guy but I intend to direct basically all of my you-should-vote energy next year towards the reelection of the 18 progressives who've stuck their necks out to call for an Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire. They've dedicated themselves to a basic standard of human decency, and for it they will be punished with an immense tidal wave of financial and political resources seeking to get them kicked out of office, to say nothing of the threats against their lives. Biden's on his own.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
