Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

I'm a very big marshmallow of a human who was born in a time when I had to adapt to mounting cruelties or be swept away by them.

I mourn for the soft and fuzzy I could have been sometimes, but that's not how it went, so Bitch Face it is.

They are so pretty! Thank you for sharing

A point to consider.

That is some amazing detail! Photographers that are passionate about these things are so cool.

Aww a happy slightly belated birthday to you!

But were they rubber rats?

Their snoots are so cute to me, almost cuddly! (almost)

She speaks truth.

Living in a small town has its perks - I mind my business and literally do nothing but work and go home.

The rumors I hear about myself are WILD and I'm always like "wow I did all that? That's crazy." And keep trucking along.
I've always got entertainment at least!

A small personal joy - I've been a manager for some time and just got former team members back, they specifically said they wanted to work under my leadership and didn't want to work at the company under any other circumstances.
I have imposter syndrome like crazy - genuinely cried happy tears.

Please help if you can! We must help each other to make it through!!

The January 6 pardons are turning out great.

Look to history - those who were hated and targeted before.
Look at what they did in dark times.
We protect each other, we survive, we resist, we continue to live and find joyful moments in spite of the fear they try to instill in us.
We must plant seeds for trees we might not see the shade of.

Deny, Defend, Depose.

Deny access to private gatherings/info they are looking for and deny them power in local elections.

Defend vulnerable communities in businesses and public spaces. Defend your constitutional rights.

Depose them from the means of production and depose of fear.
We must resist.

Thinking of pregnant women who are terrified of what's going to happen to their family in border states.
Thinking of my trans sisters who are in immediate danger in red states.
Thinking of my disabled friends who can't afford their meds rn.
So many people are going to die if we don't do anything.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Gods. My father. I was home-schooled by him: he taught me about racism he dealt with as a Mexican man, propaganda used in WW2 and it's influence, and to care for my community like I would want my loved ones to be treated. Now he's slugging Maga-slop like it's the oxygen he breathes.

It's just beautiful to see.

🤦‍♂️ good grief!

What a cute lil bug! Their antenna look rad. I'm a big fan of the hissing variety.

Wonderful news!

Still thinking about Luigi and the fact we now have a swarm of justifiable reasons in the public's opinion to have a whole Super Mario team of vigilantes.
Will it happen? Mm probably not, but I admittedly think about it more than I should.

Oh I also got that notification: my marriage apparently is lavender scented.

I think about this often, especially nowadays.

You also have to keep in mind that it's an entire structured system working against you when you are poor. It's not always the best ideas that get picked up, it's sometimes literally about who you know/networking.
You have to decide for yourself if your ideas are worth it - the rest is the inbetween

I def have compassion fatigue when it comes to politics right now. I’m not anxious. I’m not depressed. I’m not numb. I’m just tired of people ONLY caring about things when it affects them personally. (1/2)
