Pro Tip: Organizing spaces should be intergenerational. There should be children and elders around. Nothing good comes from a bunch of 20 - 40 year old's sitting in a room thinking they know everything. Don't operate in an echo-chamber.

@thepoliticalcat - I mean the post isn't about you hanging out with kids. The post is about not excluding people from organising spaces because of their age.

The idea that youth are inherently dangerous to older folks is harmful. Any of the things you describe can be an issue with being around anyone of any age.

When authorities warn NSW drivers to avoid non-essential travel because of bad weather, the answer isn't staying home and ordering food in.

Delivery drivers are also human beings. Stop acting like they're disposable just because you want pizza.

There's nothing like putting a rug in your room to show you how none of the angles in your house are regular..

I wish the people calling for cars to be banned would think about how that would effect disabled people.

@aby I would hope that a "disabled" sticker would get a vehicle I to the "no car" zone! What else would be good?

Shouting "self-care" at people who actually need "community care" is how we fail people.

I just saw a tiktok with a guy explaining how to get rich in 2024.

"If you and your partner save just $270 a week.."

This goes with any type of - -splaining tbh.. man-, white-, settler-coloniser-, abled-..

It's about power and the assumption that the person with the social capital understands someone else's lived experiences more than they do.

Ooh good distinction!

Help, I've fallen down a conspiracy theory hole and the comments are fucking FASCINATING.

The discussion:
if the US and Russia share a border, why does it take 19 hours to fly from Alaska to Moscow?? What are they hiding???

Some of the comments:

  • One day I looked at the back of the globe and my mind didn’t feel right

  • It's strange how the flight is still 9+ hours no matter which airline you take

  • Sooo where does that put australia & New Zealand, Papuan New Guinea?? Ive have suspected all is closer then we are told!

  • cause every time you change time zones you go into a new dimension and you have to adjust to it . just a theory

  • anybody else think it's strange that airports use...flight manifests??? them naming it a manifest infers they're manifesting or 'creating' falsehoods...

  • You just clicked something in my brain😫 How are we SO programed?????


  • the US and Russia DO share a small maritime border, that's about 55 minutes "drive" to cross
    ** it's a maritime border, so you can't really "drive" across it

This little arsehole looks like butter wouldn't melt. Well, let me tell you the truth!

Each morning she gets a treat, she has a jar of them with 5 or 6 different varieties, and I pull one out of the jar and offer it to her.

If I don't pull the right one, she sniffs at it and then bites my finger.. not hard, but just enough to get the point across that I'm shirking in my duties and to pick another fucking treat before someone gets hurt.

This morning none of the treats were right. I ended up throwing a berry one into the cage from a distance and running into another room. I'm currently huddled in the bottom of the closet under a pile of coats (not really...).

She's bullying me. She weights less than a bottle of milk.

Pikelet, a brown and white guinea pig with pink little ears. She's still wrapped up in the red towel, but is now eating the parsley. It's poking out of her mouth over her chin, and looks like she's wearing a little green curly fake beard

@grb090423 @aby indeed!
“Correct English” is a misnomer. The way English is spoken today bears no resemblance to how it was spoken hundreds of years ago, and there is a convincing theory that the grammar and syntax of English is effectively pidgin- a vastly simplified version of what was originally spoken.

For learners, this makes English very easy to speak badly, but very difficult to speak well.
