cold, clinical interpretations of data fall short of effective outcomes when they're applied to the human situation

simple cost benefit calculations are the lifeblood of authoritarian, capitalist regimes and should not be considered an effective way to make decisions in any environment where lives can be altered and suffering is possible

i need to ban "facts not feelings". it keeps getting thrown at me with the implication that i'm somehow hysterical.

there's this strange idea that facts are these immutable truths that can be trusted and relied on. but, facts without interpretation are often line noise when you're using them to look at complex situations.

it isn't hysterics to ask "what do the facts mean in the broader picture". it's nuance.

if i display emotions while thinking, this doesn't erase the validity of my arguments

It has only now come to my attention that Vanity Fair once photographed Debbie Harry in armor.

The management would like to apologise for this lapse.

Hey remember how anime avatars don't have rights
I've just been informed by Congress that actually that rule only applies if they're not lgbtq because that means they're significantly less likely to be alt-right

Spread the news all you cute gays can use anime avatars now

Black is beautiful.

just a psa to no one in particular, bc this keeps happening to me and it's really frustrating:

white people, please consider that when you correct the word usage or provide brusque corrections of someone from another culture, you're punching down.

pretend every other sentence that you said was interrupted by someone telling you that you're wrong. now. pretend this is continuous and unavoidable.

that's how it often is to be a minority in a white space. the fediverse is a white space.

i appreciate it when @Chel reads spam out loud to me

no, really i do; honestly. there's nothing like a dramatic reading of scam emails to really bring joy to a dreary day tbh

find you a girl that appreciates Vivaldi's Four Seasons

someone should create a spoon bank for those of us in need of silverware

bunnies are easily startled and need very carefully maintained environments to have happy lives.

meanwhile, crows are cantankerous, mischievous, and can be gloriously feisty. i mean... a group of crows is called a murder for crying out. loud.

mine is a match made in heaven.

my poor @Chel. i think i aged her today.
