minty tear gas

Just had a conversation with a nice French couple who said the problem with American protests is that we schedule them one by one instead of showing up every night until the change happens.

Post by SUnny Moraine with a reply by Sunny Moraine. First post: Portland does not own the patent on inflatable animal costume protests, come on people. Reply: Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective.

You aren't an edgelord for acknowledging that No Kings #1 was bullshit. In my city, cops closed the streets around the entire demo: the only ones who could see our signs were us

A big-time Dem led us in a chant of "all hail until they all fail"

It was a parody of a farce about a waste of time

With compliance, lots of us won't make it and future generations will be slaves

With militant resistance, lots of us won't make it and future generations might be free

Militant resistance means guns

So I missed my city's Pride, today

but I caught the afterparty

I met some really nice people, made a connection

It was fun until it wasn't and then I left

A photo of a half-face skull mask on a black fabric background. It is anatomically correct. There is mesh with glowing red and yellow eyes painted on it behind the eye sockets. Two teeth are missing, and one is broken off halfway to the gum line.

I cut out the teeth today. It's a little rough, but pretty good considering that I did it with a puukko and a nail file.

The horns are arriving in the mail later on this evening. Those need a coat of paint, so I'm probably not putting them on the mask tonight.

I mean whatever he did, the Hutu government thought it was important enough to to crucify him with terrorism charges

so it seems likely to me

but I don't know a hell of a lot about it

I like to get crossfaded and dance when I go to a goth shindig so, probably not

"How the media are gaslighting trans people" 6 frame comic in two columns. on the left, Trump, Hegseth and Bondi are disparaging trans people and vowing to exterminate them. On the right, newspaper article with the same images of them, reporting what they said but with no mention of trans people.

A close-up of a painting by Sarah Gordon with a slight modification. The painting depicts a green bullfrog on a black background. A speech bubble issuing from its mouth says, "You are not alone in this abyssal darkness. I am here, and we shall face the chasm as comrades [smiley face]."

the gutting of environmental protections means that more chemicals are being put in the water to make the frogs gay.
this is why you are seeing them everywhere being fabulous

20 days until Halloween 🎃

Yep, that's what I was referencing!

A pixelized, color digital pencil and ink drawing from Final Fantasy: Tactics. It depicts a small blonde character wearing large boots and black armor, kneeling before a tall character on a dais in elaborate yellow armor. The stone construction and candles, and the fact that there is an altar, make it seem like the setting is a church. Under the image, in a black block, pixelized text says "State approved resistance is not resistance."

A two-panel statement image composed of two video stills. First panel: Trump's face half-covered with a headline reading "Trump classifies 'anti-capitalism' as a pre-crime." Second panel: depicts Elaine and Jerry from the 'Seinfeld' TV show, sitting side by side in what looks like a church pew. Elaine says to Jerry, "I think I'm gonna pre-crime."

A single-panel meme. Two parts. First part: depicts a computer-generated image of a boxer in fighting stance next to the text "Okay I'ma fight tolerance break." Second part depicts the boxer sitting on a stool drinking water. Subtext: between rounds of the fight. He is next to text that says, "DAMN, withdrawals got hands."

there is a general alert to form anti-authoritarian blocs at every no kings rally, so... that bluff gettin called

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

A two-panel statement meme. First panel: a 4chan-style scowling white man with ugly stubble and glasses says, "Just be normal. We can't change the whole society just for a few people!" Second panel: a wojak young person wearing a black beanie and red hoodie. "Not only is normality a relative concept that has changed over time, we also all benefit from structuring society in a more inclusive way. The Curb-Cut Effect demonstrates that organizing society to accommodate the most vulnerable and marginalized groups of people ends up benefitting everyone, even those of us who align with various existing norms."

I should have just provided links. Sorry, I watched the runup to the genocide unfold as it was happening so it was a knee-jerk reaction to regurgitate everything I remember

It was racial and incited after many decades of violence and instigated resentment

First Person: Keeping memories of genocide victims alive Immaculée Songa survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda, but her husband and two daughters, as well as many relatives and friends, were killed. At the launch of a UN exhibition commemo...

- Hutus form hate group Hutu Power and begin eugenic, racial supremacist ideology
- scary time of large-scale violence and ecalating rhetoric of slaughter
- president of Rwanda fabricates attacks by Tutsis, encourages racism
- huge number of machetes entering country by mail
- 🔪💀🩸😱

Eyewitness Testimony - United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Norah Bagarinka, a Tutsi, was targeted during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. She survived, as many Tutsi did, by running and hiding for more than 100 days.

- former German colony
- Germans instilled colorism
- Belgians gave the 'white' minority Tutsis privilege and status
- repeated majority Hutu violent purges against Tutsis
- 1970s things got a little better
- 1980s civil war; Tutsis attack as part of Ugandan army, remnants do a guerrilla war

it's true
