if I leave it there. It’s because it’s not foul enough to warrant a ban but I don’t want to press a little green check box explicitly endorsing its existence. I have been here the whole time :/ Yal couped me

Ok this one is a bit out there, so stick with me. For the unitiated, tumblr is the depressed gay artists website that yahoo drove into the ground by banning porn [its core content creators] sexy starving artists etc etc. ive been on there like, more than 10 years, and im finally getting around to really scoping the place out. In the course of creating this space here on lemmy, the thought occurred: 'hey, these artists are in a rough spot, id love to commission work from them, have a backlog of stuff to do, but also I am in a very similar situation.' ... 'idea, find the artists that don't know what to draw, and just tell them the things id like to commission art of'. so that is how i got to perusing the #Art Block, tag on my favorite microblogging site. 10/10 can recommend.

TLDR what if we, go to the depressed gay artists site, and cheer them up a bit or something. Do you think they will drop art like a side quest? Yes 100% that is exactly how it works anyone can do it.


hmm..perhaps just pitching tumblr here a bit. its pretty straightforward. use reblogs like how you would likes and likes how you would bookmarks. talk to people if you want, #you can talk in the tags, #like this. make sure to change your profile picture right away. there is a bot problem. oh and be liberal with the block button. see aforementioned bot problem.

TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.

Consider: Either, this is a completely true statement that you agree with and are therefor at least a little obligated to see its message spread, regardless of the specifics of certain rules, or it is an entirely absurd statement that can reasonably be interpreted as a joke and therefor doesn't violate any rule.

that's kind of my take on the situation, yeah.

edit: you know, it would just be rude,. to deny the president, . who is also your boss. edit2: can you imagine? 'we couldnt get anyone from your community so we're canceling the event, but we'll still do it 8D for youu'. Like whooah wooah woah il put good money that this sequence of events is not what those staffers signed up for.

[-] alphanerd4@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

To head it off: Yes, there was still "an event" at the white house to observe the holiday. Attended exclusively by white house staff. So I assume that means muslim employees of the president attended "the event".

yea or maybe they read far enough down the bbc article to see the string of historical examples. or maybe just the general context of this being published 2 years ago, and the criminalization of miscarriage has gotten way more prevalent. disingenuous af

I don't have the capacity to respond in the full reddit way, but I will note that this project was born out of a desire to separate out what specifically authoritarianism even means in the context of american exceptionalism, its not something tertiary or able to be ignored, the belief that the United States is the best country in the world, is the foundation of what american was and what it is. This belief predicates the evidence used to justify it. It is,.. fuck man, its fully and literally what inspired the nazis. the fasci hang on the wall in the chamber of gods sake. I'm not calling the US fascist, I very specifically said its not, yet. What I want to know is why every stoic american I bring this basic ass, 3rd grade history level awareness of a set of moral contractions, assertion to is trying to shout it down or cover it up. yal engage in a constant rhetorical pivot that is visibly the result of propaganda damaging the capacity for logic. The first step to avoiding "inevitability thinking" or whatever tf youre trying to say, is an honest and frank awareness and open assessment of where we are and the trajectory of the historical context as a whole. edit: -4 reading comprehension just out the gate to say im calling the US fascist. frfr i should have checked out then. what part of

Anyway, the US is an authoritarian state. It’s not totalitarian. It’s not fascist,
