i don't know what it is, just that it brings me joy

edit: it's a misidentified moss. 34 years old and still learning new things everyday

I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn't see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn't realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community's rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

Not 100% Solarpunk, but it introduces people who aren't already solarpunks to some of the stuff people who self identify as solarpunks spend time thinking about

context: they're going out of business

there's something beautiful that every individual has their own image for what Baberaham Lincoln looks like. like you read that, and it evokes for you in your head your very own Baberaham Lincoln

I just want to have a discussion about this. All of the remakes and reboots hollywood has done throughout its history have always been a way of just making money by putting all the money on "sure" bets, things that producers already know people like because they were successful before, but there's something exceptionally soulless about the Disney reboots.

There seems to be no true desire to introduce a new generation to stories they weren't familiar with, but instead a desire to just rewrite disneys entire catalog to be presented in a new aesthetic. It's a homogenization of film to a single set of techniques and looks. Capitalism is directly strangling creativity and it's being successful enough that it's seemingly never going to stop. I mean. They're rebooting movies that aren't even 20 years old yet at this point. There are people in college seeing promos for reboots of movies their parents took them to as kids.

It's creating this environment where we're all stuck in this moment that already passed. The media we consume now was written in response to events that happened already, have passed us by, and can no longer be addressed. Any attempts to make new media that meet our current moment are stifled by studios who just... Don't care.

Well y'all finally went and did it. You got me to comment in your community, so now I gotta post something before I leave. I hope you're happy. I mean honestly. Is this what you wanted? Do you like this? Do you like my shitty shit post?

Don't ever let it be said I don't follow the rules

Posting from my alt account because file uploads seem to still not be working on beehaw

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).

Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved

Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks
