It’s notable that the double Nazi salute is not only clear, it’s also perfectly in line with Elon Musk and Trump’s ideology of white genocide, great replacement theory, and the cult of reproduction.

And Nazis are very much feeling empowered to be visible today.

Blasphemy. That’s what the religious elements of the inauguration were. It’s what Christian Nationalism is. The USA is now a blasphemous theocracy.

Seems like MTG is engaged in some pretty United Health Care kind of behavior.

Welp.

A hammered dulcimer, made by my father and me, in the mid-90s. Vintage video games, played with the love of my life. A vibrant crochet work-in-progress. And a fluffy, affectionate dog stealing the comfiest blankie.

First post, and I’m glad to be here! I’ll happily accept any advice on the most life-giving and edifying ways to use this platform!
