real harm reduction is actually doing something to fix the problem rather than only paying attention when your team isnt in power
Harm reduction is about helping people unconditionally. Harm reduction is about refusing to leave anyone behind. Harm reduction is an inherently radical concept that does not include guilt-tripping people into complicity with lesser-evilism, omg.
People misusing the term “harm reduction” to justify voting for people who would happily leave most of us to die in the streets is going to turn me into the gd joker.
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
for the youths who werent around for the iraq installment
- dont believe anything the govt says about progress
- no the democrats dont have to say getting rid of the baddie was good and therefore they have to support the war
- the war needs to be ended
- the media is not your ally and they love war
to clarify, whereas an ouroboros is a great snake eating its own tail, symbolizing the endless cycles of life, nature, and the universe; a reverse ouroboros is a great snake crawling up its own asshole, symbolizing the infinite hubris of dumb motherfuckers who are always wrong about everything
yes substack has the best free product. but it also monetizes nazis, which is a dealbreaker for me.
why isn't it for you?
Here it is, your moment of zen.
You actually don't have to expose yourself to content of people being murdered. We know that it happened. Protect your mental health and log off for a bit if you have to.
if you think building luxury real estate on the bones of thousands of recently murdered Gazans is disturbing, let me tell you a little story about the land you call America...
The neoliberal tactic to destroy a movement:
1. Join support of said movement
2. Criticize the unifying policy of said movement
3. Spread the criticism through the pundit class
4. Run poll on policy following widespread propaganda
5. Point to poll as reason why policy must change
6. Leave movement
I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time
"And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect… it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack."— Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism (1950)
It really cannot be emphasized enough that the Holocaust was modeled after the American campaign to displace and exterminate Indigenous people. This country drew up that blueprint.
Just WWJD’d my rep and both senators, it likely won’t work but I enjoyed it nonetheless
"he didn't get any congressional approval"
the "law" has always been a lie here. do you finally see it? - a Native
Please put the US under sanctions. Cancel the LA Olympics. No international conferences.
god help me I will live to see hegseth behind bars
God I am so sick of living in the heart of an unbearably evil empire. My thoughts are with the people of Venezuela
the brits should be so embarrassed by their transphobia, they got completely bamboozled by an American evangelical plot. they think they’re so much smarter than us but they got turned into a country of jug hooting bigots without even needing to be told it’s what God wants.
Jim Bakker is still around, but his grift has evolved from prosperity gospel into doomsday prepper food buckets.
My trickster god is a snapping turtle named Bofa 💁🏻♀️
We may not be able to win every battle (see: TN-7), but we can bleed them dry and make their lives suck, and that’s almost as good in the moment and will pay dividends in the long run.
Maybe this is my lifelong ODD, but in the face of an unwinnable battle, making the oppressor as miserable as possible while they force you to comply is far more satisfying than folding.
Say it with me: FUCK YOU, MAKE ME.
Isn’t that so much better than twisting yourself into knots and caving?
Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.
Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.
If they think this is expensive, just wait until 2026 in North Carolina. I have a feeling they’re going to regret the extra gerrymandering stunt they pulled this year.
At this point I’m just waiting on Jesus himself to come back to personally tell Kiffin to fuck off because he didn’t talk to him either.
MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer
CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes
