NTS radio forever reminding me how hard the soundtracks to Japanese RPGs fuck

(She’s not dead by the way lol I just don’t live in Pittsburgh anymore 😔)

feeing like shit today missing Rachel Ann Bovier the Pittsburgh Poetess not gonna lie

You know what, sure, nothing fucking else going on in the news

Look, it was either skull measurers at CBS or the ominous threat of pronouns

The genetic Slavic memory of shoveling yourself out of the shit

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

We’re all just in a god damn vice right now squeezed on all sides, and there are of course gradations to how we’re being squeezed by the point is we are ALL being fucking squeezed right now.

Like my job right now is just one fucking thing after another, constantly austerity/scarcity mindset, beating up against absolute cretinism. But I know it’s the fucking same everywhere. its so crazy lol

It’s hard to describe but on top of everything, it has become insufferable to do any kind of work/profession at all. I objectively have a good job, but the way things are you’re boxed in no matter where you work or what you do - work sucks but I’m like would anywhere else be better? Probably not

I’ve seen camisole and t-shirt layering combos the likes of which you have to see to believe

Why was my first thought after hearing Usha’s pregnant that we need to hear from Brace Belden

When the Abby newsletter has discussions of Russian literature as it applies to contemporary ethical debates

I’m not taking two days of Bluesky liberal discourse about the Soviet front of WWII, one day was enough

The queer masc urge to set up a dungeons and dragons group….I’ll never understand it

All good, you just got pulled in! I agree with what you said here and think the war was very complicated, just saying it is rightfully a sore spot in Russia to this day that so many people died fighting total war for their allies to then posture like they were simply failed allies of the Nazis

Again, I am not saying that the US did not play a role in WW2, I am saying that the average person like you posts shit like this to downplay the fact that 21 million people died on the Eastern Fromt fighting and defeating the Nazis

I am aware of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the USSR defeated the Nazis on the Eastern Front.

Americans DO have an inflated sense of their role in World War II, because the immediate Cold War following wiped the USSR from the history of it. there’s no sense in projecting this onto left/center-left fights today but it’s just true, the average liberal remains distasteful of the Soviet victory

I get that beneath this discourse is a question of left-liberal alliance, which I am for, but as someone who has lived/worked in Russia the biggest problem historiographically re:WWII is that everyone downplays the Soviet role and says shit like “Russian winter beat Hitler”

It is objectively true that the Soviets defeated the Nazis. it involved collaboration with the broader West but it is not controversial historically - and widely disavowed afterward by Americans— that the Soviets won the European front (the largest front) of the war

I get that people hate this guy but the fabricated quote is not at all related to what he says in the original ?

The only pliglet that wants to be poly when they grow up is hyper into being Mormon and later comes out as trans masc lol

pliglets = children of polygamous marriage 🫩
