I NEED EVERYONE TO STOP HOLDING THEIR BODY IMAGE TO A STANDARD SET BY MEN WHO ARE ATTRACTED TO TEENAGERS.
Iβve literally been saying this since I was a teenager:

14.02.2026 02:53 β π 316 π 63 π¬ 19 π 4Housing-first works. It's basically the only thing that *does* work.. Implementing it requires us to stop thinking of homeless people as morally deficient and "deserving" of their homelessness.
It's moral judgmentalism, not practicality, that is stopping us from solving homelessness.
Those of you in the US with chipped pets, will have to find out who you're registered with, because if your pet goes missing, they may not be found, despite having a chip.

Itβs not stupidity. Itβs not ignorance.
Itβs POWER protecting itself through selective evidence use.β
Late capitalism treats life as so cheap. And no life is cheaper than the contemplative one because the contemplative one is not easily extracted from.

But seek the time and space to meditate and you're not even producing any more.
I don't really seek money or status or power. I seek peace of mind, which is the most forbidden aspiration in our sadistic system.

And as no other countries circulate precious metals as actual currency vs bullion issues, buyers worldwide would treat these coins the same as bullion. But if that's issued currency then that kind of hoarding creates shortages.
13.02.2026 21:47 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm saying if they started using, say, silver in a misguided attempt to revive the dollar you would have people hoarding the coins before they got into circulation. And there's a subset of people who think this would be a good idea.

13.02.2026 17:16 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0They believe Cologne Cathedral was built by Tartarians. The cathedral built in a distinctly 14th century Gothic style and finished in the era of photography.
They think some mysterious empire that invisible ninjas somehow erased from every book on every shelf built that.
People seriously believe a global empire was somehow removed from EVERY SINGLE BOOK and the memory of EVERY SINGLE PERSON who lived under it and somehow no photos or documents survived in someone's attic or library.
That's beyond tinfoil hat. That's "did a nine year old write this?"
The Tartarian Empire conspiracy theory is literally just white people saying "You savages couldn't have possibly built that!" but to each other this time.

Many employers may be unwilling to pay $100k for a visa when they can hire a broke graduate for $50k because all jobs are becoming low wage now.

Just remembering some peaceful protest ideas I've had in the past:
*Vuvuzela army (surround speaking fascists with vuvuzelas).
*The Great Beltway Park-In (turn the DC beltway into a parking lot)
*Reverse J6 (since they insist it was a "peaceful protest")
