ok, so are they gonna remove religious symbols from the graves of soldiers that do not conform to the 31 religions that remain approved? Can anyone put eyes on our sacred dead to catch them if they do. I need to know, there are lines in the sand, the line sits on hallowed ground.

You know, why the hell is it a thing that 72 hour emergency survival kits come in camouflage. Like imagine thinking you were thank God I bought this kit, I have three whole days left to where I can survive a disaster before I have to worry about not being rescued yet, and it's so cool

That all my emergency supplies are specifically made to conceal my whereabouts from anyone looking for me. It makes me think the safest, most practical people are actually the ones who hoard bright flashing holiday decorations that light up and sing annoying overly happy jingles

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Canadians are generally so humble we actually think we can’t do great things. Reality is we’re the 9th largest economy in the world with only 41 million people. We already do great things.

you know, just my personal story, but as my life has gone on, even as I have grown more and ever more knowlegable and humble about how much I dont experience, but somehow it feels like the gap between myself and black people, specifically. and i just wanted to say it makes me sad, like Strategically

communication is the only way to maintain and build relationships, and resentment is a sure sign of the collapse of a relationship's ability to communicate, and the real risk is a complete trust spiral. and its tragic that a bad situation could breakdown

by waiting white nationalists who use the gap and the cultural shock to promote all kinds of racist, hateful, supremacy, and victim narratives. and another generation of black people will, understandibly suffer, and others will try to be changed, but without genuine tools in society to reduce

the suffering, then number of unsolvable problems, the dream of a more united, more just, more equitable world that facilitates the ability of humans to come to each others aid, every generations heads foreward parralell with this gap, and this ineptitude, that is maintained by resentment.

Im just... sad that the hole has gotten deeper. I see smart ppl,i see people in pain, I see their art and humor, but my support provides seemingly nothing, it makes me feel impotent. and it is definetly hard to stay hopeful that we can heal in a way that unburdens somewhat black people from the

extra burdens that they carry around for no reason they are responsible for, and that we will just end up with a less hateful gap. this sucks a lot, because it breeds another generation of ignorance that when it hits this gap and feel the push back, to a certain percentage, that gap will be filled

I see their decisions are smart here. and Empathetically, I understand and wholly hold space for the emotions born from suffering. but I just cant make a dent, like personally. every interaction since leaving the military with black people around me, my attempts to show respect and take a position

@buffkitton.bsky.social

thats as informed and unselfish as I can possibly be. but unlike before, these attempts at being the person who isnt just passively not racist, but aggressively anti racist and pro change, I somehow, cant find a way out of a ditch i did not dig. and I do not need anything from the black community

A lot of great people doing important work just lost their jobs because the most destructive, bigoted, willfully ignorant people in the world have targeted them. Here's what you can do to support yourself or anyone you know who lost a job. Please add your own advice at the end of the thread <1/n>

An important point getting overlooked: When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies. They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.
