how do people lose their cellphones in rivers??? especially the old ones. were you walking next to the river talking on your brick Mobile Telephone and tripped and threw it into the canal? how does this happen?

just_pits. actually thats the name of my tumblr where i reblog pics of sweaty men

lol where did that come from

Ubisoft would rather not talk about the The Division's ideological underpinnings, however, and with good reason - proposing to speak on behalf of "real" people while demonising the rest is an elementary gambit of fascism.

genuinely a little confused here because ime this is like... all political parties and candidates and ideologies represent themselves in this way

the power of four handles

i know people joke and stuff but i have this sort of persistent dislike of todd howard and i can pull up reasons why i do, i guess, but i feel like the dislike i have is bigger than the reasons to dislike him

Tell me more

youre no longer a cyborg

i want to hear the stories seymour doesnt tell.

"The Twitter cliche that the user with an anime avatar harraging your mentions is as likely to be a nazi as communist is an easy go-to example of how fans of the same or similar works might be—obviously “fans of…” don’t universally share the same politics, identities, and beliefs."

it's worth interrogating the racial implications of interpreting people with "anime avatars" to be a homogeneous group, in the context of dismissing people for participating in the cultural output of an international subculture. not strictly related to the article but something i've been thinking about lately

"I think of some of the disturbingly hateful reactions I’ve seen over the past few years to the work of queer women who are exploring difficult, messy, incomplete feelings, as if they had done real harm by not being sufficiently perfect in their processing, depicting situations that didn’t slot neatly into the positive and self-loving way we demand that women embody."

i think that its important to be kind in interpreting and criticising works that arent out of the mouth of corporations but at the same time "messy feelings" might genuinely be troublesome and in some cases reactionary or even sort of evil, especially when dealing with the messy feelings that arise from forming your sexual/gender/Queer identity on the internet as a teenager like most of us did.

i also think that the majority of these reactions to "the work of queer women who are exploring difficult, messy, incomplete feelings" come from other "queer" people, often who probably dont run in the san francisco/portland/new york/gdc social circles and who dont have large followings like these "creators" that the op is obliquely referring to often do. social media is almost inherently designed so that the reactions to these works will be seen by the creator. i dont think its unfair to categorise these reactions of queer people interpreting creations depicting "difficult, messy, incomplete feelings" as being difficult, messy, and incomplete themselves.

sucks if you want to look at the top of the mississippi river

i have never heard them described that way ever. though putting paprika on wedges sounds pretty good i havent done that before
