The US is already lowkey Balkanizing.

If this was in a film, people would say it was too on the nose. "OK, we get it! The president's a fascist!"

It's basic monster logic. Everyone you let the monster eat makes the monster stronger. Even if you have no other objections to seeing human fucking beings get chewed up, just focus on that. It'll be harder to fight off if you feed it and you *will* have to fight it off. You *will*.

It's always funny when a white guy is like, "no one is talking about this thing or how to solve it!"

And it's something about which bell hooks wrote extensively.

Tee hee.

Also, I'm sorry for your loss. Anything you're feeling is valid!

Anytime I know anyone who loses a parent, I always tell them "Anything & everything you're feeling is valid." People don't need to feel guilt on top of everything else.

More than four out of five Americans, 83%, said they were concerned about the cost of groceries, with 46% saying they were very concerned. Some 47% said they were worried about being able to pay their rent or mortgage, 64% said they were worried about affording an unexpected medical expense.
About 48% said they believed they would have trouble affording an unexpected $500 bill without borrowing. One in four said it would be "very difficult"
A quarter of those surveyed said they spent at least three hours a day worrying about their finances and ability to afford basic necessities. Another 25% of respondents said they or someone in their household had skipped meals in the past year in order to make ends meet, and 26% said they had fallen behind on their monthly bills over the past year.

Photo of text on a wall mounted sign at an exhibit that reads: the painting reproduced here in black and white was to be shown in this exhibition before the far right ministry of culture in Slovakia intervened and blocked its export. The loan was supported wholeheartedly by the director and curators of the Slovak national gallery. Since the ministry's conservative crackdown on the institution, more than 100 curators and staff members have either been fired or resigned. The ministry's interference underscores the ways in which queer histories are systematically erased by those in power.

Photo of text on a sign at a museum exhibition that reads: this drawing was confirmed as an exhibition loan until the election of Donald Trump. The Colombian lender now fears for the safety of the artwork in the United States. This is therefore an exhibition copy.

It's getting harder and harder to shake the feeling that the bad guys are winning.

My partner recently had an apocalyptic dream where he turned to me & said, "At least we're together." I was like HMM WHAT COULD THAT MEAN (we're glad we're together in these times)
