Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97:

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.

My roommate watched a woman get dragged from her wrecked car, bleeding and screaming for help, being disappeared by ICE. They were recording and I’ve seen the video. I’ll probably never forget it. I carry a whistle now but I pray I’ll never need it. We’re like two weeks into whatever the fuck this is and I’m already sick of it. I’m tired of running to the window every time I hear a car alarm, I’m tired of wondering if I hear the wind or a whistle. I’m tired of worrying about more people I know getting abducted, and scrutinizing every vehicle that drives past if they’re going to fuck with me because I’m visibly queer and also trying not to be mistaken for the gestapo occupying my city. Is this an occupation? And I know war is worse. Fuck all of this.

Did you eat the Onion or is the only-kinda-satire we’re getting now just horrifying?

Your jstor link requires an institutional login. I was going to try and find a link that didn’t, but a lot of those links technically fall under digital piracy - Lemmy world explicitly bans those kind of links to cover their asses legally but the db0 instance allows them, for example.

So what’s piefed social’s policy on certain links and the idea that information should be free? 🏴‍☠️

Transit is great, maybe see if your transit agency is willing to pay for it, mine does and that’s why I started using it in the first place.

I had to screenshot after my 1am trip home from work on New Year’s Day because it was the first and only time I’ll ever be #1 on my local route, lol.

I saw the sculpture in the Smithsonian as a kid and that’s also the first question I had, lol.

Jesse Welles may be the reincarnation of Woody Guthrie… he writes a lot of music, some of it is great.

Edit: also this one

If Windows gets their way you don’t!

grain silo

This is a hilariously awkward suggestion. At the scale of the average save icon, what do you think a grain silo symbol would look like?

Mmm, salsa.

I’ve only ever bought LG phones, they made a couple of duds but largely they were great, they died rather than going to shit.

I need a new phone eventually though. :(

How else am I supposed to remove the ice from my sidewalk???

The wrist watch on that guy is hilarious.

Edit: I wonder if this is some actor at the Holy Land theme park in Orlando? Disney sure paid a lot more attention to themeing details than that place did.

I’m mostly kidding with that one. It’s a tiny fraction of why that Chinese takeout font is racist, it’s (very lightly, in the case of Papyrus) the way a foreign script looks to someone who doesn’t actually understand how to read that foreign script rendered as a latin alphabet. Like yeah, I guess that’s a valid argument but I am in no way cancelling papyrus and nobody should care about this argument, lol.

Nah, should be Papyrus, it pretends it’s a return to tradition but it’s really just ugly and racist.

Clear communication is so Ohio, I’ve got rizz.

Or something. I’m too old to make this joke.

That’s encouraging.

All of my exes told me I was a lot, shortly before dumping me.
