Rich people always talk about raising the ceiling, but socialists talk about raising the floor.
Everyone should be able to live comfortably, not just the rich getting richer.

I hope you are all having a fine holiday season so far.
Times are very harsh with lots of hateful people, sickness, loneliness, and cruelty but we must do our part to combat these things...
Do what you can.
When you can.
If you can.

That's how bad the Conservative Party is currently...they're actively fleeing Pierre Poilievre as a sign of protest and doing what's best for the country.

The kettle isn't whistling,
it's screaming.
Singing the song
of my people.
People who just
want coffee
but have to face
the rise of the unwanted.
Even though this tune
has been heard before,
we must clean it,
so, the kettle is whistling.

Right-wingers trying to reframe wanting to sleep with minors...after a lifetime of pointing fingers at others...
The ones who preach
that others are problematic,
without showing evidence,
is usually evidence
for problems they themselves
are hiding.
With so much division in the world, we must always remind ourselves that EVERYONE has a story.

If you aren't angry about the atrocities Israel is committing against Palestinians, the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, the oligarchic fascism in America, the racism in Canada and England, then you simply aren't paying attention.
As Nick Cave once said, "Hope is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism".

I'm enjoying my hazelnut, cinnamon, and nutmeg coffee out on my balcony today, reading through my 5th edition Player's Handbook for D&D, as I've just joined a new campaign and I'm trying to reign in the character I think I'll play.

To be honest, I find almost every influencer, no matter the field, to be just someone who figured out how to get the equipment and produce a show...they are almost never experts on the subject at hand...that's why there's so much debate in their comments.

Don't believe the propaganda.
Fascism (/ΛfΓ¦ΚΙͺzΙm/ FASH-iz-Ιm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.
Don't let the most idiotic, the most morally vapid people try to tell you that Left-wingers are fascists.
Asking Trump about politics and war is less effective than asking a part-time Ronald McDonald mascot what goes into each food product and how the McDonalds corporation fiscally works.

If someone supports a monster who has made a living calling for harm, then they deserve to be ostracized.
The term for Charlie Kirk and others like him is Stochastic Terrorist.
Although, he wasn't always indirect or vague, he could also be absolutely blunt and calling for violence.
Feel free to look up the term.
