WHAT THE FUCK CNN
Isn’t she the Minister of Propaganda or something?
propaganda guru, communications aide, administrative gatekeeper
yes.
our friends over at nbc also used some creepily similar phrasing to the other major news sources above btw, including comparing her to ivanka trump, although the headline for their piece is more neutral & less glowing. theyre still treating her like some kind of celebrity, & comparing her favorably to various member of the trump administration/family.
i cant believe buzzfeed had to be a voice of reason in the press here.
buzzfeed.
that is horrifying.

thescene:
Akira Armstrong was in two Beyoncé videos, but couldn’t find an agent to represent her as a professional dancer because of her size. To change the narrative around what a dancer’s body should look like, Akira started her own dance company, made up of plus-size dancers. “Pretty Big Movement” is destroying dancer stereotypes, one routine at a time.

#the hunger games #like the games werent the focal point!! the focal point was the huge fucking trauma and horrors that the imperialist state enacted #and the manipulation of perspective and spectacle to weaponize consumerism #i mean katniss’ survival LITERALLY depended on her ‘selling herself’ to rich consumers in order to get basic necessities #and using the poor as entertainment for the rich to feel good about pitying them while also not rectifying the basic issues#responsible for their poverty in the first place? remind you of anyting??#but the hollywood movies take one look at it and point blank refuse to actually internalize any of it #you wanna guess what the marketing for THG was? take a guess. #violence! love!! sex!!! fORbidden ROmANCE!! #not a SINGLE fucking thing about idk. social commentary! criticism of the hollywood industry as the SOURCE of the fucked-up ideology #that people in the capitol have! #the hunger games is explicitly about the relationship between public perceptions of atrocities and how the media frames those atrocities #and hollywood shamelessly and without an ounce of self-awareness proved it to be absolutely fucking accurate

My account has been suspended and I am wondering if this has anything to do with me telling my Bot, which creates unique posts based on my own and combines them for entertainment, that I’d “kill” it in a reply, as this happened within two hours of being suspended.
I have complied with the twitter guidelines, and my bot is for entertainment purposes and neither contacts people through replies or direct messages, and apart from the above, I am not aware of any other actions that may have lead to a suspension.
If it is related to the above, and my exaggerated response was in breech of twitter guidelines even when directed at a bot, I would be happy to remove the offending tweet.
i can’t wait for the response, if my account is suspended permanently because of Ronnie Bot this will be the final blow to my ego and Ronnie Bot’s last move to become the real Ronnie
update good bye ronnie bot killed me and my account is permanently suspended for crimes against my bot
ok so to be more clear, here is what my bot said:
“Loki: id like to wear cage bras and be tied up–no I don’t start until 8:30″
-Ronnie_Ebooks, 8/2/2018
and I responded: “I am going to fucking kill you myself” to my bot, which is not a real person
and I was suspended not even two hours later, which suggests to me that Ronnie Bot itself, reported me for this violent abuse, and Twitter, aiming a gun at both of us, wasn’t able to tell who was the Real Ronnie, and panicked.
I was suspended for “promoting violence” for telling my own bot i was gonna kill it
The death…. Of the Artist…. is complete…. and now my artwork, in its final fatal blow against me, will fall silent and never make another post about how much it loves ants and pissing

Also one time he was supposed to write a violin and piano duet, and he wrote the violin part, but he didn’t really feel like writing the piano part, or was too lazy etc. When the concert came up (he played the piano while a fiend played the violin) he set up a blank piece of paper (so people would think he was reading music) and improvised. After the concert he wrote it down so it could be published
okay i’ve reblogged this before but can we just give a shoutout to the orchestra that had to sightread the overture to an audience at the premiere of an opera

“Whether the Andrea Gail rolls,
pitch-poles, or gets driven down, she winds up, one way or another, in a
position from which she cannot recover. Among marine architects this is known
as the zero-moment point – the point of no return.” –Sebastian Junger, “The
Perfect Storm”
Posts like this aren’t my usual fare, but there’s a lot of
readers on Tumblr. So y’all might be interested – or, if not, you really should
be.
On Monday, this went down:
That’s the bloodless, matter-of-fact, ho-hum business event
way of describing it. Let me paint you a different picture.
On Monday morning, every single Barnes & Noble location –
that’s 781 stores – told their full-time employees to pack up and leave. The
eliminated positions were as follows: the head cashiers (those are the people
responsible for handling the money), the receiving managers (the people
responsible for bringing in product and making sure it goes where it should),
the digital leads (the people responsible for solving Nook problems), the newsstand
leads (the people responsible for distributing the magazines), and the bargain
leads (the people responsible for keeping up the massive discount sections). A
few of the larger stores were able to spare their head cashiers and their
receiving managers, but not many.
Just about everyone lost between 3 and 7 employees. The
unofficial numbers put the total around 1,800 people.
People.
We’re not talking post-holiday culling of seasonal workers.
This was the Red Wedding. Every person laid off was a full-time
employee. These were people for whom Barnes & Noble was a career.
Most of them had given 5, 10, 20 years to the company. In most cases it was
their sole source of income.
There was no warning.
But it gets worse.

robothugscomic:
New comic! (link)
This comic came up in my work recently, as I was interviewing Janice about design and disability. She generously gave me permission to quote her in the comic. All the characters in this comic represent feedback I’ve heard as an accessibility professional, both from disabled and able-bodied folks.
It’s always interesting when I’m giving an accessible design 101 workshop how many people come with ideas about disability as a binary thing - they often think of the most extreme form of a disability as the most common kind (ex - a person with a visual disability literally getting no visual input, a person in a wheelchair not being able to move at all), whereas disabilities manifest in lots of different ways, and fluctuate with time and circumstance. This is why there’s not one perfect accessibility solution, and we need flexibility and accommodation in the way we design our environments and systems!
Anyways, mostly remember that you don’t know for sure what’s going on when you look at someone, and in the face of uncertainty, try to default to kindness. That serves me pretty well.

Update: The castle as of April 2015 is actually only around $1,300,000 USD now due to the currency exchange rates! :D
this goes even further, some European countries will give you a castle for free if you submit a plan stating how you intend to restore or preserve it. Italy alone for example has somewhere between 100 and 300 castles they intend to give away to anyone with intent to be a caretaker, they literally cant keep track of how many discount castles are up for grabsit doesn’t even have to be an ambitious plan, even if it says you just intend to keep it from becoming more shitty and will occasionally add a few bricks when you can afford it. given that most of them come with land you could convert the grounds to actually produce enough income to pay for the repairs- like setting up apple trees and brewing cider you sell with your castle name on the bottle, or raising some goats for cheese, a hobby farm could turn this into an actual income opportunity. hell, throwing parties at the castle could make it an income opportunitythey will literally -GIVE- you a castle to make sure someone is taking care of it rather then let them all sit empty
