  • More a biology lesson. It’s the scientific word for the appendage. Human’s — I believe all mammals as well — have them lining our lower intestines. They help us absorb nutrients by increasing surface area.

    The word itself, papillae, just means “a small, rounded part which protrudes from an organ/ nipple” from Latin.






  • Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

    Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then “start” my round and repeat when I need to log that I “visited” a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.






  • It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don’t want to use the neutral “they”, and instead want unique pronouns such as “xi/xir” or some such.

    I personally don’t agree with it. I’ll just continue to use the singular “they”, as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.



  • Yes, the state hierarchy has employed authoritarian violence against the people of the region… which will inevitably happen any time workers attempt to threaten the power of the dominant system and take back control over what is rightfully theirs from an unjust authority. That is just the logical outcome. It was the same when Feudalism’s system of absolute monarchy was being threatened by the growing popularity of capitalist Liberalism’s system of constitutional monarchy.

    Hierarchical authority enforces its power over the people through implied violence of the system. “Obey the law (i.e. the will of those who hold authority in written form) or we will arrest/fine you (i.e. restrict your personal autonomy and/or access to goods and services).” When people disobey that system and disregard the threat of implied violence, it will always resort to employing overt violence to maintain their enforcement of their authority through the institution that is known as the police. This is why we say ACAB.

    It just means workers need to be prepared for it so they can stand their ground and exert their own authority, even by engaging in their own acts of violence if necessary. All authority must enforce its control for it to be considered legitimate afterall.
