That Nerdy Old Chick You Know

“And as for you, you could be anyone
Who’s done, who’s said, the things you’ve said and done.”

What an amazing poem: Poem without Metaphors by Matthew Buckley Smith

YouTube video by UnAmericanBandstand Woody Guthrie~ All You Fascists Bound To Lose

I’m going into this battle
And take my union gun
We’ll end this world of slavery
Before this battle’s won
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

"The Nuremberg Trials, held after World War II, established a fundamental principle of international law: "following orders" is not an acceptable defense for committing crimes against humanity or war crimes"..... Sorry ICE

The Epstein case is important, not least because it implicates 47, but don't forget that a huge % of cases of violence against women involve police inaction, court inaction, untested rape kits, unenforced restraining orders, disbelieved victims & witnesses, & perps generally getting away with it.

An adorable palate cleanser for these trying times.

Yes, and, the American style of “fear of losing your job” was designed to include the terror of losing your family’s health care. But if your job doesn’t include health insurance, or if you expect insurance to deny lifesaving care…you can resist tyranny without fear (with less fear, anyhow)

Never fail to put the spotlight on the hideousness of these people. You can’t reason with them, but you can embarrass them.

If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency.

When I heed the instruction "do not obey in advance," I'm including my joy. Everything is horrifying right now, but I must not despair. They seek to terrorize me - I will have my moments of terror - but I will also have my moments of delight, laughter, and love. I keep myself above their evil.

Agreed, and good work. I need to do the same to my house and senate reps.

It's true, I'm just a fig newton of your imagination. *jazz hands* "you saw nothing!"

Remember what I said about my opinions?

Lo, I exist. Welcome to all my pals from my assorted nerdy pursuits. I intend to post about those and whatever else crosses my mind, which will probably include a fair amount of my political opinions, just warning you.

What happens when the internet disappears? Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?
