When you have too much comfort,
You become insensitive to suffering.
When you have too much insensitivity,
You become insensitive to comfort.
The magic is in the doses.

the world only wants you palatable, pliable, and compliant. they don't give a fuck if you're unfulfilled

Very striking how every right-wing conspiracy freakout was just a prophecy of what they planned on eventually doing - whether it was Jade Helm or FEMA camps, the moment they had the opportunity to make these imaginary monstrosities they came up with come to life, they did

A mayoral candidate was kidnapped by who knows who ( those are not officials) in NY. We are in a full on coup to become a dictatorship. I will not live under a dictator. How are lawmakers ok with this? WHAT THE FUCK.

Ordinary Germans did not come out in numbers to try to block the troops taking their Jewish neighbors away, so this moment is giving me a lot of hope and pride. Americans aren't ready to capitulate to fascism

If we had UBI I'd take it and live minimally just to create as much art and music as possible, making it all accessible for free, because that is my "religion."

We have more than enough resources for this to be reasonable in society. We waste too to make billionaires richer. Scarcity is a myth.

look, the “cure” for the completely made-up male loneliness epidemic is simply more disposable income and more free time…better pay for less work is the only answer to being able to hang out more, which is why the ceos are instead blaming “woke” and offering us robot friends

Bright sun rising over the mountains

Happy Beltane, world! Let's not let the fascists steal our joy on this day, or any other.

It’s been lost in the tariff news but the fact that the U.S. government can accuse you of a crime and send you to an El Salvadoran prison without trial, is legitimately scarier than the most hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left during the election.

I don't see how capitalism survives the stunning reveal that meritocracy is not real and that, if anything, our culture actually rewards the dumbest and least capable people

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Physicality vs The Other Side

Let's start a progressive party. We'll go scorched earth liberal. Universal healthcare, universal basic income, 4 day work week, 6 weeks vaykay, full 40 hours of pay( in addition to the basic income), pensions, sick days, professional parent status, and tax the fuck out of anyone making over 400k.

Distorted waves of a dark window, electric piano, bathed in red light, and an artificial blue sparkle floating in the digital distortion field.

What better use for chronic insomnia than to bend and play with reality through the art of digital distortion into the manifestation of hallucination?

So when I say porn is good, and porn is healthy, it's because sexual expression is good, and sexual expression is healthy. And records of that, pride in that, is good and healthy.

Being able to openly discuss sexuality is a sign of a healthy, society.

Being ashamed of it is not.

“Porn” is a public good.

“Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society.

“Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression.

“Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express.

It’s worth defending on its own.

In govt, highly trained, highly motivated, experts can make independent decisions and solve problems without wasting effort on profit or brand or wall st analysts.
This is more efficient than “business” not less.
Outcome means more.

YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture Tr*mp wants to put your favorite romance author in prison? And you for reading her books?

Did you know that Project 2025 wants to put romance authors in prison?

Thousands are out on the streets of downtown Portland protesting Musk and Trump's coup, and the crowd is growing by the minute. I don't care if the media isn't covering it, there are protests all over this country and the people are resisting tyranny.

1. Why does your passport need an “M” or “F”? It doesn’t. It never did. The government just made it up—and now we’re all stuck pretending it matters. 🧵

Admit it
you always kind of wondered
what you would have done
had you been alive
during the dark times
of the previous century,
and now that you are here
during the dark times
of the current century
you have your answer,
how horrible it is
to have that answer.

Gentle reminder:

The fight for abortion rights and the fight for sex workers' rights are inherently connected because the major opposition to both is rooted in the idea that women do not deserve bodily autonomy and cannot be trusted to know what's best for them.

They must cease to rule, they must cease to EXIST not as individuals but as a class, and the only way to do that is by giving control of their wealth and power and property to the workers whose subjugation produced it in the first place

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

To save democracy we must extend it into the spheres where Elon Musk rules as a tyrant: it must march into the workplace to slay the beast in its lair before its despotism consumes our political democracy

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

They have to be destroyed completely, the permanent basis of their power must be broken. The few cannot be allowed to own the stores and factories and fields and hospitals and supply chains that produce everything we need to survive, it must belong to us

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Economics is basically the art of designing fun glossy little charts and graphs to justify why the poors must die

The post-Second World War federally supported research infrastructure that propelled American universities to global prominence is collapsing before our eyes.

Looking at porn is not dangerous. There is no photo-transmission virus that infects you if you look at it. Perceiving images of humans engaging in sexual behaviour is not degenerative, does not affect your health, does not cause damage to your physical body.
