Between child illness and my own, I haven't left the house in over a week. I am feeling the hurt from the sedentary recovery time, but I'm also currently in the server room at work, hiding from people in the office, because I'm uninterested in dealing with office politics and shoulder taps for help.

Why are we all talking about the Rapture as if it's not some fringe cult bullshit? If Transhumanists (not a cult, just fringe) suddenly started excitedly shouting that the Singularity is Next Tuesday we would roll our eyes and move on. Let's go back to ignoring cultists.

If you voted for him in 2016, you are a fool, because he fooled you. If you voted for him in 2020, you are a brainwashed fool, because you refused to believe the evidence you had already seen. If you voted for him in 2024, you are evil. You knew and you chose evil.

First the soup becomes a weapon. Now t's the sandwiches? Delis are the cool new terrorist recruiting spots, I guess. Makes sense, you can't fight fascism on an empty stomach.

Seeing complaints from wealthy home owners in DC that they are being "terrorized by helicopters looking for crime." I feel really bad for them. Must suck learning how America treats oppressed people.

Fascists win, or they escalate. You can't reason with them (they've already given up reason) you can't fight with lesser tactics because they'll always claim the win. You need to go hard. Over the top. They talk to media, you punch them. They march on a mosque, you hold them back with fire.

If they come to your political debate, you remove them from the building, it you shut it down. Talking to them like their ideas are stupid still gets them what they want. They want people to hear their pov. They have simple lies that sound convincing if you don't think about them.

The political ideology of fascists isn't about violence. It is violence. It is directly harmful to those they would oppress. Someone says some Nazi shit, treat it like they just threw a punch. Don't let that shit slide.

You need to look at it to understand where to aim, to know who to form community with, and how to prepare as best you can for what is coming. Hiding your head in the sand just means you're already on your knees when they come to chop through your neck.

I can't gush enough about this. It's maybe 15 hours of some of the beast, most heartfelt, tear and smiles creating media I've enjoyed in a long time. The Corner of Pleasure and West River is a beautiful thing. open.spotify.com/show/1Pbhkep...

My favorite part of salad is getting a big chunky piece of lettuce and chomping it back like an iguana. I do rarely get to fully engage lizard brain that it's a special treat.

The most important thing we can do right now is community building. The problem with that is that I have to interact with strangers. I need some very chill, quiet anarchists to hang out with.

This series is haunting and beautiful and maybe only 12 hours all told. Absolutely with listening to if you have emotions. Also, @rahrah.bsky.social's voice is a kind of special sitting that makes the unnerving stuff they say that much better(worse?)

This Wednesday our investigation into what happened at The Corner of Pleasure and West River will come to an end. Our 16th and final interview will be with Finch , played by @ohheyitsgina.bsky.social with @rahrah.bsky.social as the Keeper of the Day.

I love that the girls are fighting, but I love how much the attacks on each other reveal about themselves. "That was a Nazi salute and we all know it." So you were happily conspiring with a Nazi. "He's in the Epstein files." So you were bringing your 6 year old to meetings with a pedophile?

Is it wrong to vote in the CRIT awards in categories you have no clear preference (or knowledge) of, based entirely off of pronouns? No, if you wanted my vote, you should have been more genderqueer. Or at least less white.

Between DOGE's access and this, we should do be ready. This is the "government list" the Republicans have been screaming that we need to prevent at all costs.

ACLU@aclu.org

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

It's Pride Month. Why? Cause people still get fired in America for being queer. People get assaulted for not conforming. Our existence is not immoral, it is not shameful. If we hide, it is easier to victimize us.

Together we are safe, in community we are strong. We are proud of who we are. We will not go back. Pride, because like lions, we fight for each other. Also like a pride of lions, the women so most of the work, which is why the "L" covers first.

Having one of those days where everything feels filtered through a couple layers of reality, like I'm watching a TV show adapted from a book that is largely internal monologue.

The struggle to maintain awareness of the going on in the political sphere while also not going into an anxiety spiral every time I learn something new happening in the political sphere is enough to make a person crazy.

Nice and kind are not the same. Right now the kindest thing you can do for the oppressed is to stop being nice to the oppressors. There are lots of ways to fight evil. Choose one you can do, and get to work being kind.

Just repeating a thought I had a few years ago: we call our planet Earth. A synonym for dirt. We call ourselves, in fiction where we share the the galaxy with others, trans lterrans, making "of dirt" We are the Dirt people from planet Dirt. ¹/

Aliens think of us like city people think of Appalachian mountain folk. That in mind, I'm not surprised they haven't come to knock on or for and introduce themselves. ²/

So Trump went to do a loyalty tour for the middle east, and no one thought to change the locks while he was out of the country? We gotta get on top of these chances, folks.

Only 2 weeks left till June. So remember, anyone caught being straight next month is arrested and deported to South Carolina. Do your part next month; do someone else's party next month!
