Collaborate?
Oh, you mean I do all the work and you take credit for it on social media? Lol, no.

One of mine is a doctor who thinks mifeprestone is a deadly drug so dangerous we should kill women who obtain it. The other is the speaker of the House.
Im frankly impressed that someone completely without a spine is able to stand there and talk so much trash.

Not to in any way defend Dementia Don or anyone in this administration, but I was nearly trapped in the middle east when Biden quickly changed US re entry policy during covid with no recourse for those of us abroad. IF YOU TRAVEL DO NOT EVER COUNT ON THE US FOR HELP no matter who is Prez.

I think you misspelled execute.

Im old enough to remember before 2016 I would say Israel is cursed and people would jump my shit calling me antisemitic.

As if criticizing the actions of a country's government is the same thing as saying i agree with Hitler.

And as if Semitic people only live in Israel and not the entire region.

Unhinged behavior

Nope. My studio is closed to the public. Online only. People are too freaking weird.

When you live in New Orleans and forgot it was fat Tuesday and you tried to go to work...🤦‍♀️

For reference, navigating the city for the months leading up to mardi gras is a game of Russian roulette. The day of is madness.

Would this be before or after the Portuguese pioneered the slave trade after Spanish conquistadores nearly wiped out the native population of the americas with their diseases?

You realize POC means people's of color, right? Aka global majority? In the US it's a term for anyone who isn't white.

*shrug* Im not commenting on Harris's choices, just that calling a Latina woman white during a time where a gov. agency is hunting hispanic people for sport, and pitting women against each other is lame.
I think if anyone's waiting for the D party to save us, theyre delusional.

Hey, so, theyre both women of color. Both have a lot of accomplishments under their belts. Trying to erase her racial identity because you cant conceive of racism beyond black vs white, isnt it. Pitting women against each other isnt it.

How are the horror writers doing? Cuz I love me some horror, but with what's coming out of the files it feels like horror writers might be feeling kind of like writers at the Onion.

I restocked a fluffinator flogger

Tattoo artist- Youre a beast! Such a good sitter!

Me- passes out for 12 hours straight afterwards

So I stopped at God Emperor because I thought Heretics and Chapterhouse were non Herbert additions, but Im realizing thats incorrect. Are they worth it? Ive heard such bad things about the novels added later by other authors

This at least is the kind of fluffery I want AI to be used for

My favorite. Ancient side eye.

Are you a history nerd and need to laugh today? Fabricius can translate modern emoji into egyptian hieroglyphs and it is hilarious.

Today I was out having lunch with a friend when an unmarked ICE vehicle passed by. We were sitting outside in the lovely weather, enjoying the day. I was the only hispanic person present. Not a single other person noticed ICE.

It feels like we are living in two separate realities.

O.o

I plan on doing something for the peeps on my mailing list soon

That meme references moments in history where there was revolution, not just people standing around filming.
Posting it then saying only peaceful rallies are the way to go is disingenuous.

The predictability of it is sad, and the lack of self awareness even more so.

White people like throwing around that meme that says 3% of the population rising up can topple a government, but get mad when someone points out that number has to do more than hold signs and yell.

Every conversation Ive had with a white person about the Hispanic perspective on the current ICE stuff has been met with defensiveness.

From our side; theyve been killing and torturing people for a long time. But now that theyre killing white people, now you care.

Acting as if moral injury justifies your privilege to be impractical and ineffective is the reason why we are in this mess.

People peacocking about how mad they are at injustice are lacking the self awareness to realize theyre just being the mirror image of what theyre complaining about. Whining on the internet isn't action. And you would know that if you were actually doing things behind the scenes.

Unlike just proclaiming how morally righteous I am on the internet. And im not saint, I also have to make am living from my job, but if i didnt do this job then the amount of $ going to these causes from me would be 0. So, yeah.

My work is very political and from the beginning I dont avoid talking politics when appropriate, but my accounts are about selling a product. And im happy to take money from anyone. Because that money then goes to paying my trans employees, and directly towards orgs and actions that benefit people

And guess what? Sometimes, that has nothing to do with being loud on the internet and in this day and age posting some things puts people and orgs that are helping, at risk. Something you would know if you were actually active in groups who were on the ground doing things that have real impact.
