fucked up that ekans is a dragon but onix isn’t

sure, a Facebook Lite in the early days when Facebook was cool and you mostly used it to hang out with your same-aged friends outside of the gaze of parents and teachers and bosses

but then again, that was the Facebook which killed thousands of personal websites, RSS/Atom, decentralized collaboration, persistence, and the open web

Show thread

the number of posts to this effect i have seen have convinced me above anything else that cohost truly was a Facebook Lite

Show thread

with cohost shutting down, i am migrating all of my things which never should have been on cohost to my personal website, where they should have been posted in the first place

probably my favourite paragraph in an essay full of amazing paragraphs

« A thousand things make it impossible to mistake the verdict on queer lives and on women’s lives, as on the lives of those who are poor or not white. The hecatombs of queer youth; a decade squandered in a killing inaction on AIDS; the rapacious seizure from women of our defense against forced childbirth; tens of millions of adults and children excluded from the health care economy; treatment of homeless people as unsanitary refuse to be dealt with by periodic “sweeps”; refusal of condoms in prisons, persecution of needle‐exchange programs; denial and trivialization of histories of racism; merely the pivot of a disavowing pronoun in a newspaper editorial: Such things as these are facts, but at the same time they are piercing or murmring voices in the heads of those of us struggling to marshal “our” resources against illness, dread, and devaluation. They speak to us. They have an amazing clarity. »

Show thread

this is about the new Zelda but it’s more about Metroid

“nintendo didn’t actually develop X!!” yeah, thank God

Working Families Party uses the terms “working class” for proletariat and “middle class” for bourgeoisie for obvious not wanting to look like communists reasons

Show thread

Working Families Party distinguishes middle class from working class and upper class, implying they roughly equate it with the bourgeoisie, but the vernacular i always heard growing up was that lower/middle/upper class referred to financial precarity/security and not labour dynamics
