i’ll tell you this, bullies didn’t stop bullying me when i gave them everything they wanted, or when i talked to them about my feelings

bullies stopped bullying me when they felt like they had something to lose if they tried to trample me

moreover, bullies were actually more likely to actually listen to me about my feelings, if they felt like they had something to lose first

sometimes people are actually incapable of caring about you as a human being until they’re scared you’ll hit back first

i describe a lot of shit in this like leverage
until you have leverage against your opponent, “good faith debate” is meaningless

if they have nothing to lose by dismissing you and your humanity, then constantly coming to the table trying to convert bigots? pointless

if you sincerely want to reform nazis, then first those nazis have to be scared of you for this to be even possible

people keep linking that piece of that stormfrnt kid who changed his views, but they always gloss over the fact that he himself said-

-that the rejection and shame of his views by the community was IMPORTANT for him to actually consider he was wrong in the first place

Never gonna know them, but shoutout to the healthcare workers who are breaking the law to help their patients get life-saving care. I'll never see an article about you because knowing you would risk everything including jail time. Nurses who lie on medical records so their patients can get abortions. Doctors making up shit so their patients can have HRT.

Wherever you are, you are keeping your promise to help your patient.

And if you’re ever called for jury duty for a case surrounding a healthcare worker for giving illegal care: they’re innocent.

Clown code.

I call a lot of y'all clowns but it turns out that’s too good for you since even they live by a code.

My grandmother didn’t allow her clowns to participate in a PSA back in the 80s because it would have violated The Code. They got actors to scab the roles anyway. My father long resented to loss of Ad revenue and publicity, but my grandmother was the sort of lady who would not sacrifice the dignity of the Clown for any price. Remarkable woman. It’s an open question as to how much the whole debacle contributed to the closure of her Clown College, but I suspect she wanted out of the game by then regardless.

i cant help but feel like ai art bros result from ppl who were convinced that art was a waste of time and they need to get into STEM and get a good paying job, and now they're 27 and stagnating in the corporate ladder of some random tech firm and they yearn to create an expression of art but they don't want to actually put in the time or think critically about what theyre expressing and most of all they're absolutely filled with jealous rage at the people who did dedicate their life to creating art. and because STEM and trade and tech is valued they have the power to punish those people for it.

yeah in a post-scarcity world it would be a cute tool to play with but we live under capitalism, the refinement of ai art just means forcing out the last vestiges of human art in our society to create a direct pipeline from market research and investors ideas to billboards and television and every corner of your life.

anyway if it werent for like, civility and also the criminal justice system, if someone started gassing up AI art to my face I would give them thirty seconds to back down and reconsider before I blind them with a fork
