> hey guys, kada wanted me to put this here
> Hello, deceased canaries we really should have been paying closer attention to-
I'm not feeling super Vriskalicious, so I'm not gonna be at the lab today. Sorry about that :( Also wanted to say thanks for y'all's great work on the latest grant proposal - Cypress is looking at it now and he seems unusually receptive. Since things have been amped up so much, there's no ongoing experiment, and I'm not there, y'all won't be supervised and theoretically there's no way for me to know whether or not you actually did any work. See you guys tomorrow.

> and they know that
ceo of caramelldansen
> i'm not inclined to be quite so cynical, but dusky's at least a little bit right
> whether or not they know it, as someone so high up the chain of command, every kindness that they show will have some element of artificiality. even if their motivations are pure, they are still above us and cannot have true solidarity until they are either on our level or actively changing the system to benefit others. they have done neither
hozier2
> they tried a little bit
> but overall yeah
ceo of the rose empire
> how the fuck do you articulate so well
ceo of caramelldansen
