it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

if you're trans or black or muslim, everything you do is considered political, but if you're a christian terrorist, you're just an apolitical part of The System (derogatory)

Broke: dress for the job that you want, not the job that you have

Woke: I’m goin’ where the weather suits my clothes

parents and teachers etc will do anything they can to form their child into a little cog for the capitalist machine

this is an incredibly abhorrent result and example of neurodivergent kids having no rights and agency, from school to home. anywhere from the worst people you know to “well meaning” people are harming kids every day because they believe they should have a say over kid’s bodies.

A man says "there's so much hate in my heart." He picks up a Flying V and says "my only instinct is to write incredibly hostile riffs." Another man comes in and says "I'd like to listen." They both have a wonderful time.

The Deadly Dumbing Down Reversing the deliberate effort the curtail the American mind

A kid died from measles last week. A totally, completely preventable death.

That child was a victim of conspiracists, and it’s easy to call those folks dumbasses and keep it moving.

But the truth is that there’s a massive, deliberate push to dumb down America.

Here you go

Graphic for protesting safely: what to wear: goggles and mask. Nondescript, solid colored, layered clothing; cover identifying tattoos. emergency contacts written down. heat resistant gloves. Tie your hair up. what to bring: water for drinking and tear gas. snacks. cash/change and ID. washcloth. ear plugs. protest signs. bandages and first aid supplies. Don't bring: cell phone without first turning off face/touch ID, going on airplane mode, and disabling data. jewelry. Anything you don't want to be arrested with. contact lenses.

If you are out making your voice heard en masse, remember that "masse" means it doesn't matter that it's you, specifically. Protect everyone by making yourself indistinguishable from your comrades, don't bring your phone, and write your emergency contact numbers on your skin. We take care of us.

Sketch of a mangy, long eared creature with a striped tail

Happy Monday! Here's an old-ish Kudzuland Trashcat sketch.

Looks about how I'm feeling today (bothered, tired, kinda cute)

The only way to defeat that kind of insecure enemy is to be secure yourself. To have radical faith in all peoples ability to change for the better. But the only way that DOESN’T turn into liberalism is learning how those having a hard time in trying to change differs from those who REFUSE to change.

Sad to think that many Americans today will go their whole lives without becoming allies to a raccoon, all thanks to the destructive forces of global capitalism,

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over!

Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

Get ready for a marathon. Trump will make countless evil comments and profoundly disturbing moves. Sprinting toward each one will both exhaust us and not allow us to fight effectively for years and years. Build for the marathon, build for the long-haul.

I cant stand the way we as a society treat children. I cant stop thinking about what happened to me & my friends when we were kids. Even the “small” ways we’re fucked with as kids, i can’t fucking stand it.

A fundamental goal of this administration is take all the government services that are public goods and hand them to billionaires so they can make even more money.
