Do you think there's an audience large enough to justify "From the Vault: Silver Border"?

Once we get fifteen holiday cards. : )

Some are born Skywalkers

Some achieve Skywalker

And others have Skywalkers thrust upon them

the degree that parents of young children seem to think Baby Shark came out of nowhere astounds me. this is a DECADES-OLD camp song, that has spanned generations.

We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.

1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.

2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking

3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.

4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.

5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.

some man online: “arya’s a mary sue. rey’s a mary sue. i simply don’t believe a young girl could be that skilled.”

what they expect me to say: “well, no, actually, canon supports it, because if you look back as far as season three, she’s been training for–”

what i’m actually gonna say: “good. good. about fucking time. in the next movie i hope rey blows up a dreadnought with finger lightning that she learned earlier that day. i hope she rips palpatine’s spine out with her bare hands while everybody claps”

feds literally could just influence people on tumblr with no effort by making a blog and being like ‘[socialist country] is [doing bad thing with literally no backing evidence except maybe US news articles that all just reference each other]’ but making sure to tack on “why isn’t anyone talking about this!!! spread this like wildfire!!”

and self proclaimed progressives just would eat it up without even clicking on the link let alone doing outside research and be like “signal boosting for all my followers! this is why we in the US need to intervene!”

pretty wild how impersonal domination is very important in marx but that it’s by no means something unique to His Theory. it’s already explicit in the works of capitalism’s biggest cheerleaders. what do you think the invisible hand is??? it’s not by the benevolence of the butcher that you get your dinner, it’s due to his own self-interest in making money so that he can survive.

this is the kind of “forced altruism” which free marketeers decry when they imagine the horrors of socialism. we are subjected to an outside, impersonal rule which makes us operate in a restricted kind of way, benefiting the rest of society but at the cost of our own individual liberty. this is like text book ayn rand-style criticism of the evils of hypothetical communism but this kind of tyranny is already here and it’s the ones who make a big fuss about personal liberty that go out of their way to defend it.

You know, probably my favorite part of the movie Hercules, besides all of the horridly inaccurate mythology and fun gospel music, is that Hercules was already super strong and didn’t need to work out. Phil just made him work out for the Hero Aesthetic™

hello i have learnt more spider facts

spiders will pull their own legs clean off if they get damaged because most of them can regrow legs during molting, which explains why you often see spiders missing a leg but never any missing half a leg?

some remarkably distressing scientists proved this by getting a spider to pull off all of its legs and then feeding its limbless torso for months until it sprouted a full complement of legs again and then hopefully used them to get the fuck out of dodge

baby spiders don’t get lenses until their first molt and before that they just have baby eyes and while this ought not to be any weirder than the concept of baby teeth, welp,

there are so many spiders floating around thousands of metres up in the air that they’re described as “aerial plankton”

The Sky Is Full Of Spiders

there are spider-parasitising spiders but instead of laying eggs in organs or stealing blood or anything like that they just ride on top of bigger spiders and steal snacks when their mighty steed is eating

there are ant-mimicking spiders that use their disguises to raid ant nests and w/e but there are also ant mimics that just. hang out. they make fake ant colonies full of fake ants. sometimes the actual ants that they’re mimicking find their house and live with them. stealth 100

some mother spiders live in communal family nests, where multiple mothers can work together to bring down bigger prey while all their collected babies are cared for by the babysitters

some mother spiders feed their babies mouth to mouth like birds

some mother spiders carry their babies around and i was aware of this but not the fact that if you steal their eggsac they’ll freak out and search for it for hours and sometimes end up adopting anything that’s vaguely the right size, they will carry around empty snail shells for weeks and lovingly dote on them…

guys i am literally about to cry over spider moms
