imagine being so rotted that Bruce Springsteen writes a brand new song about how much you suck shit and announces it by saying “by the way I’m so fucking mad that I banged this out in 24 hours”

how are you still up and walking around after being slammed like that

oh you think the Boss is cringe? you think he’s embarrassingly earnest? you fucking reprobate. bruce has been embarrassing me my whole life

listening & learning.

i won't fuck this up, i think.

but also those giant floating monolithic things are cool & i kinda wanna be one.

never underestimate the power of two lesbians in a trenchcoat.

On Friday and Saturday, the Twin Cities were the center of global news. A day of solidarity. A horrific murder of a good man by masked federal agents. A city that rallied with peaceful fury. And then, as of Monday, a scapegoat sent packing. A neat story all wrapped up. Reporters all fly home.

when you have no idea what performativity is & how everyone frigging has it, they just give you a PhD ig

it's simple, just stop culling your following list like i do.

more brilliant, slightly web-mad women all posting at once? i certainly see no issue.

ah, so a Bug is a unit of Bugs. til.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: the stage of the Jerry Springer show with an audience watching. A peeved looking person sits in a chair. Jerry Springer stands next to him and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the incensed audience boos loudly. Panel 3: security attempts to break out a fistfight between the onstage guest and a prehistoric fish, the Tiktaalik.

also why i hate self-checkout. more! lines! now! think of the transes!

i want longer lines and worse selections staffed by people who are paid more to work less and i'm NOT KIDDING.

the biggest cure for dysphoria is getting groceries. plenty of time standing in line at the checkout to realize you're not that much of an outlier at all.

If you think this is accelerationist, what the heck are you on?

Voting is absolutely critical. That being said, it is necessary, but far from sufficient. Get organized!

then why the criticism of "institutional" dems rather than the party as a whole?

it does not change the fact that those are fundamentally different forms of organizing. i wouldn't go as far as jessie did, but i wouldn't call it "accelerationist."

some people want coalition politics to be, y'know, coalitional. not just a movement of core party interests. i'd say that's valid.

younger people have fallen out of love with harry potter because they have anime now. all other political analysis is secondary to this fact

i'm half Cardassian, half Bajoran.

i need to pay attention and work for myself

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

I know respectability politics are bullshit, I know perfect victim narratives are toxic and harmful, but it really is so striking to me that they’re not only murdering white people, THESE are the white people they’re murdering

The image includes the quotation below on a light green background, along with a picture of "The Quaker Faith" book cover: Conflict among early Quakers tended to emerge around issues of religious authority, because, if everyone has Christ as their inward teacher, how could one individual or group tell others what to do? This prompted Friends to give greater emphasis to the communal testing of individual leadings. The Quaker Faith: Friends of Love and Truth, pp.38-39.

of course it's a PR move, but if they want to continue to try to relate w the public, they're gonna have to not pull the same crap. it's not enough, but it's something.

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

I know the phrase “Someday everyone will have been against this,” but ngl I didn’t expect to see this kind of reversal from the chuddiest little freaks happening so quickly.

needed that, greg

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."

That's a death threat.

If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.
