If a sitting president threatens to hold government employees hostage and shut down the government for years because the other branches of government won’t give him absolute power, then he should be fucking impeached.
American friends just be watchful in 2020 if it looks like he’s going to loose, especially if he’s going to lose to a woman or a member of a minority..
there should be a tax that youtubers pay where 1.5% of all of their revenue goes back to Kevin Macleod for basically supplying YouTube with it’s own soundtrack.
who is this man and what music did he make???
if you hear a royalty free song on youtube, there’s approximately an 80% chance Kevin Macleod wrote it.
here’s some you’ve almost definitely heard:
for those wondering, yes, he also made THE generic royalty free song that was EVERYWHERE in 2014.
also, his site incompetech.com also has graph paper generators, if you’re in need of that. It has any kind of graph paper - INCLUDING hex paper, you tabletop gamers out there! (or knitting paper if you’re into that)
This was a friend’s idea, after introducing me to Jojo AND witnessing my constant freakouts every time I check this particular Twitter account. (I have some…very specific fears involving bathrooms)
Don’t ask why SC-era Polnareff and Jotaro have smartphones or Twitter.

Komaeda would be so disappointed if he knew he was everyone’s favorite character
Komaeda would feel crushed that he became a monumental pillar of internet culture that has yet to be replaced for over five years; not because it’s humiliating or a detriment to his character, but because surely there are greater symbols of hope who deserve that privilege over worthless garbage like himself. however, he would grow past this feeling as he realized that his status as an impenetrable force of influence over subculture could be used as a stepping stone to bring an even greater hope for others.
Komaeda feels absolutely no shame in, and even embraces, being called the Fingers In His Ass guy
I mean, we literally have research that says this. With TV it works because shows are DESIGNED to have segues/scenes where advertising can go, so we perceive it as less disruptive. You can’t just drop advertising in any old where. Shockingly, people fucking HATE that.
My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.
I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”
He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral
And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it
I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning
mitski be like I understand that you were deemed undesirable and ugly in middle school and therefore you have spent your life constantly battling between the mindsets of “looks aren’t everything” and “if I am not beautiful I will literally die” and I Am Here For You
omg this reminds me of this one girl from high school who was like always on the prowl for a man and i told her if i had a bf i’d never introduce her to him and she said in all seriousness that i was right bc she’d do everything she could to suck his dick. cold calculating bitch alkjkjfgdf she was so messy i can’t believe we were friends i shouldn’t have let her borrow my pen on the first day of hs. but yeah this read is entertaining bc miss heather havrilesky did NOT come to play
wow polly let her have it what a great article
“You actively punish every woman who dares to get close to you. You’re merciless toward yourself, so you’re merciless toward others.”
This is a lot of people.
This is a fantastic diagnosis of self-loathing and internalized misogyny. And also good advice on how to start unlearning it.

learning that most trees do not derive from a single lineage but actually only look and function superficially similarly due to convergent evolution is one of the most fucked up things i’ve ever learned and i will never be the same person as i was before i learned that
Oak trees are quite a bit more closely related to roses than they are to pine trees.
