Just an ancient philosopher whose lifestyle and attitudes highlighted that the pithy bullshit out of the mouths of elites wasn’t anything special lol

Basically anyone can be a philosopher and memes are a democratized modern format of his concept

See: Diogenes

The original blatant shitposter

Context for the first pic?

“Basic respect” as in, how you would treat everyone else. Don’t be a dickhead, but don’t feel like you need to bend over backwards just because someone isn’t cishet either.

That’s also why I made my caveat of “I’m also just some rando on the internet don’t take my word as gospel for everybody” lolol

Treat each person with basic respect, and you’re fine. Labels are individual, not everyone likes them but some folks feel better with them and that’s valid too.

Putting an opinion on other people’s identities is where it crosses into problematic territories.

Just like religion; “I can’t do/am not something because of my identity” is fine. “You can’t do/be something because of my identity” is not.

Listening to your IRL LGBT+ pals will guide you right, and remember also a lot of the microlabel discourse is heavily skewed to be online. A handful of self selected randos on the internet anywhere isn’t going to be representative of a whole-ass community (myself included!)

Dirt hut that gets half-assed upgraded to wood, then stone if I’m feeling fancy.

I’ve never been great at design :’)

Oh no you’re good lol I love co-shitting on Dunks, and on junk culture (even though I also participate).

Bahahaha yep this place is a junk food-laden dumpster fire

Also tbf nobody goes to Dunk’s because it’s good, they go because it’s cheaper than any other drive through coffee p much

Big sad yelps with eye contact are how I trained mine to be gentle. It’s how they learn from littermates as well.

Just like they use their pitiful looks on humans, it works in return 😆

Soup and casseroles are my favorite parts about autumn weather

Because he’s (lactose) intolerant 😤

Hard agree. Anti-Luddite sentiment is corporate propaganda.

The movement didn’t naturally fizzle out; it was actively repressed and punished by the government.

Luddites didn’t hate the technology so much as they hated how the technology was being used to destroy their livelihoods and further marginalize them. Hard to judge someone for trying to survive in the face of so much cruelty.

The forehead is a landing strip for kisses

Big corpos want access to “verified” data AND not have to regulate their own shit - that’s why the age verification garbage is so popular as legislation (to the lawmakers, not to the populace). It’s also convenient for shutting down dissidents which adds its appeal to government. “For the children” is a lace-thin veneer over the obscene violation of human rights.

F major

Mutual aid > charity

Build connections + community when you can, in addition to donations 🩶

The mnemonic I learned in school was SPA: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle

So yeah Aristotle is the younger dude simping hardcore for his mentor in the red garb (but really most likely used Plato as a projection canvas for his own ideas in writing)

Look at those lil ‘staches! That’s the best thing I’ve seen all day

I think a solid middle ground could be notarized, witnessed contracts for ensuring the consensuality of dueling/bodily harm.

Since if someone asks to be killed they can’t exactly confirm that consent after the fact y’know?
