in a time when white communities around the world are turning to fascism

make sure yours doesn’t. yeah?

what we’ve been discussing is starting advent with the lighting of the first candle on the fifth sunday before new years, maintaining a twelve day yuletide from the lighting of the fifth candle on the final sunday thru to the second following thursday (twelfth night), and then celebrating kings day on the following day

this is different from the christian kings day but we don't care about epiphany we just want the tasty cake

for the most part “celebrate” just means eating food

the winter holidays we celebrate are advent, sinterklaas, new years, and kings day

we were talking about the winter holidays and now i want to do winter holidays things but it's not for two more weeks

“this take was made by someone who is probably bourgeois and consequently beneath my notice” is a great strategy for not needing to waste energy being bothered by takes

so whenever i see someone making a take praising bluesky for whatever, it’s true they don’t convince me anything one way or the other about bluesky, but they do convince me that they are probably bourgeois and consequently beneath my notice

and i fundamentally have a hard time believing that anyone who does is a working-class person with loved ones and a job who deeply cares about and is deeply affected by the issues, because where are they finding the time

genuinely cannot imagine wanting to be on twitter, or a successor to twitter, or a replacement for twitter, at this time

i’m not saying “ever”—there were times when i valued being in that kind of space—but not at this time

the burned tower burned down 150 years prior to the lake of rage incident which makes that almost exactly contemporaneous

breeding cyndaquil while exploring ecruteak city and the burned tower and those are the vibes

not sure i believe that hisuian typhlosion wasn’t also in johto at that time

sometimes if you are lucky you can find a single saint candle in the mexican food section of the grocery store

while i am sympathetic to the e·g Sedgwickian “Christmas is everywhere and all‐consuming” types, in fact what is everywhere is only a highly specific, extremely American Protestant interpretation of Christmas

apparently target doesn’t know about advent

never has it been more obvious that most people on the internet have never tried to create something in their lives

every single one was like “yes this is completely normal for folklore but isn’t it WEIRD that game freak wrote it? also don’t worry it is NOT CANON”

the number of clickbait sites i scannef to see if they had done any amount of research before i came upon this one is depressing
