white supremacists one day decided to frame woke as a bad thing and use it as a perjorative and y’all just immediately went along with it posing absolutely no resistance now i gotta hear ppl say “it’s not woke to be antiracist”
i was on here in 2015 when the michael brown ferguson uprisings were happening and i remember as a 14 year old in all my rage i completely changed my blog to focus exclusively on the protests and i remember using the hashtag stay woke and knowing what it meant even then and its crazy to see how 10 years later all it took was a bunch of nazis on fox news and inflammatory engagement bait twitter bots for your average liberal to adopt this whitewashed interpretation of the term

WHEN ON PERIOD:
- do not crash out
- your feelings are NOT valid
- do not send that text
- don’t kill yourself. lock in
- do not act on negative emotions until at least 2 days have elapsed
Leaf your leaves on the ground (no, seriously.) They provide so much for bugs, places to lay eggs places to hibernate. This comic does a great job at showing WHY we don’t see our little friends as often, because our systems and social expectations are anti-earth and anti-life. Don’t eradicate your friends (maybe just that one) let the leaves lay

Hey did you know there’s a tell all book about the behind the scenes of Meta and the author is forbidden from promoting it?
The good news is however that it’s already published and can’t be stifled and whoever didn’t sign the NDA can promote it as much as they want.
She’s not allowed to promote it?
Well then, I guess we’ll have to do it for her.
It’s available from bookshop.org and Barnes & Noble in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook. It’s on the front page of the B&N website and they’re advertising $5 currently.
Also request it at your local library if they don’t already have a copy!

Ready to break up with Google?
So are we!
We’ve rounded up a bunch of privacy-centric alternatives for everything Google.
Check out the full list over on the blog!
- The Ellipsus Team xo
Fun fact, on top of being staunchly against genAI, ellipsus literally has an Export To AO3 button. I do the majority of my writing in LibreOffice, but I’ve been moving all my GDocs over to ellipsus for a bit and I really love the interface. If you’re looking for an alternative to GDocs, this is The One.

I would play the shit out of this.
Please support this game! I’ve been following it forever and the developers obviously put a lot of love into finally repping my people as Not Just Generic Bad Guys To Be Slaughtered in QuickTime Events, but the unabashed horse girls we truly are. I really love how outspoken she is about representing proper care and compassion for these animals in the industry too.
Found it! Reblogging to kickstart when I’m at my laptop.

Since it’s Spotify Wrapped season I thought I’d share this reminder that streaming services are killing the music industry. Musicians can’t make a living like this. If you love an artist, find them on Bandcamp and actually buy their albums.
