the idle witch

This website needs time-dependent muting so people can enjoy my silly and/or sincere weekend posts while not getting hit with my weekday “FUCK AI AND THE BROKE-DICK SEX CRIMINAL RACISTS IT RODE IN ON!!!” posts.

how are so many otherwise smart people so unwilling to accept that 5 Nov 24 created a future on certain things that was unchangeably locked in for 4 years

28 Oct: new polls saying “yes the GOP will win in [state] but the margins are EMBARRASSING”. Angry sigh. But! My disappointment tells me my hopes were too high, so I’ll recalibrate. Back to anticipating a lifetime of fascist hell on a burning planet/being pleasantly surprised if I’m wrong.

I’m not late! It’s still National Black Cat Day in all the other U.S. time zones! This is my second-ever void kitty and she is wonderful. RECOMMEND!

It's not enough to have a nice drink set aside for when something happens. Who will you call first? Do you have a party plan? Where will you party? If there is no party, will you BECOME the party? BE PREPARED.

Yes PLEASE let’s have the entire Bolsonaro family here when The Reckoning begins. Get comfy, gentlemen! We’ll be with you shortly.

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

Something I wish more people would realize.

Everybody brace for another round of TikTok tradwives loudly announcing that voting is annoying and women shouldn’t “have” to do it and the Man Of The House should just vote on behalf of the whole household blah blah blah

I feel like if there were a bunch of rumors that I mangled my own genitals in the disastrous pursuit of a porn-y ideal, I’d try NOT to do online burns that remind everybody about that.

YUP. It’s evil and actively harmful. The extent to which it does or does not “work” is beside the point.

Just to counteract some of my copious whining: last week I remember my library card lets me access w/a 24-hr code I can renew as often as I want, which means I can play all their li’l games without giving them a dime. Thanks, The Library!

It’s sadly not surprising that the FDA and USDA took no action. But if I routinely shopped at Trader Joe’s, I’d be FURIOUS with them about this.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Someday, we'll have democracy here, just like they do in the Balkans and South America...

We could solve so many problems if we could just manage to be normal about what/where other people like to eat.

I grew up in the suburbs, lived in cities as an adult, and now live in a semi-rural area. Each of these places is full of the biggest assholes and sweetest dears you could ever hope to meet. Where you live has jack shit to do with whether you’re a good person.

This website is like “I’ll never understand how rural Americans can hate the cities SO much. We’re just people, same as they are! 🥺” Then the next post is “Anyway fuck suburbanites I hope they all die of genital gangrene”

thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

What a picture! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally seated for #YouCanSeeEverything! I managed to avoid spoilers!

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

After dreading it for a week, we have successfully completed our annual two-kitty vet checkup! Everyone is fine, but this poor baby was PETRIFIED.

Where do they keep finding these awful edgelord pieces of shit? How have so many men grown up with no understanding of love, joy, or empathy? A bottomless hunger for cruelty and power where a human soul should be.

whatever that aggressively ugly font every A.I. slop ad uses makes me yearn for comic sans

It’s hard to say what the BIGGEST problem is, but I think it’s the fact that we’re not allowed to call stupid beliefs/positions/people “stupid”. Some things really are so far beneath us that we should be able to dismiss them out of hand.
