@cyborgnekosica yeah it sucks 😔

tumblr aggressively login walling people has gotten even worse over the last year so i figured it was maybe time for a reminder

there’s a slightly longer version of this PSA with a few more details on my dreamwidth ( https://satsuma.dreamwidth.org/25424.html? ) which you’re also welcome to either copy or link directly on tumblr as well

@mythologybot hm

@rowyn it sucks that Cassie’s privacy was violated when she’s already been through so much shit but like, they WERE really helpful to actually getting her back. Without the potions of clarity the whole thing would have been way more of a mess!

@lisamakesstuff Pennsylvania!

I suspect this may be a transitional thing where our accent is trending from awnt to ant but names and titles, being more resistant to change are lagging a bit behind. If true my older relatives should largely say awnt regardless of context, I suppose I could listen and see?

@lisamakesstuff cursed fourth option: if its in front of someones name (eg. “I called Aunt Elizabeth yesterday”) its option one, otherwise (“I called my aunt yesterday”) option three

@Cyborgneticz your local library system may be willing to shelve a few copies, tho probably not the whole box 😂

@Forestofglory 🫂

@Lady hm thats fair. But also the interests of the bourgeoise are particularly keenly felt whilst along that path, eg. anyone with a mortgage is invested in low property taxes (which they must pay despite the bank owning their house)

or putting your retirement funds in a Roth IRA means you’re fucked if the tech sector go under, so i guess you better believe them when they say AI is the next bet!

@Lady I feel like the Brazilian marxists were talking about this but i dont remember the details of their argument lemme see if i can track something down

@Lady yeah i don’t know that petit bourgeoise is precisely the right word for “is sufficiently financially entrapped by the bourgeoise that it is in ones short term interests to side with the bourgeoise” which is more whats going on with mortgages etc

@Lady i believe we previously had a whole convo about if home ownership is enough to make someone petit bourgeoise (though i suppose this poll then requires a second convo about whether middle class requires sufficient wealth as to own a home. Wikipedia says at least a third of their income should be discretionary to qualify which implies they at least could be homeowners?)

@wallhackio i feel like we’ve strongly biased this poll by ensuring most of your followers have seen exactly one of these

@Lady hm

@Lady overheard?

@pagrus yeah they are tiny compared to their nearest relatives (emus, ostriches, etc) but really still quite large!
