Imagine if someone cited Game of Thrones as a primary source of European history. You'd get laughed out of the room.

But for some reason, citing 1984 (A FICTION BOOK) in politics is seen as a mic drop. I don't care what happened in your make believe book. It's not real

Want to pretend you're in rural PA winter? Imagine the smell of sulphur from cheap coal burned in old furnaces, a permanent grey sky you feel you could bump your head on (rural PA will try to crush you one way or the other), and cling to the knowledge that the crocuses and forsythia *will* reappear

Since moving to Denver years ago, I have had trouble explaining to the locals here (used to mostly blue skies all year) the kind of oppressive grey cloud cover that we get in my part of PA (Cambria County) from November-April. This is a good example, and, oddly, also makes me a little homesick.

Pretty sure that was Harry

99% of modern security products are just some company going "would you like this app that gamifies paranoia" and you going "yeag" like just don't do it. just turn it off

When you see unhoused people asking for money what you should see is a fracturing of the social contract where an issue (housing) that should be addressed on a municipal or statuary level is instead foisted on individuals in a way designed o put callouses on their souls

Horrified by the Epstein files?
This started when colonizers arrived in 1492. Columbus & his men trafficked Taino girls as young as 9, yet he has a federal holiday & statues. Slave "owners" like Jefferson routinely raped Black children. This horror is not new to the rulers in the Americas.

Day 6 of the global billionaire pedophile network being out in the open and theyve got you arguing over "recipes are ableist". We'll never be a type 1 civilization

“Socialism does not mean getting together in a parliament and passing laws, socialism means for us overthrowing the ruling classes with all the brutality that the proletariat is capable of deploying in its struggle.”

THE UNBRIDLED GREATNESS OF TRANS WILL ENDURE FOR A MILLION YEARS

it’s true that manic consumer culture buying sprees probably point to a gnawing fear of engaging the spirit, whose demands are rigorous and whose rewards would require us to acknowledge our eternal indwelling self-worth, but on the other hand did you see how much cool stuff I have

Toss and turn While the sweet potatoes are roasting, it's also important to toss and turn them semi-regularly, about every five minutes. This allows each side of the sweet potato piece to get a chance to caramelize on the surface of the pan. It's like searing a piece of meat-the side touching the bottom is going to get the crisp crust much more than the exposed side. Now, take some of this advice with a grain of salt if you're using a convection oven. An oven fan will help promote browning and crisping on all sides of the sweet potato piece. You'll still need to toss, just not as often.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

They should invent a job where they pay you to burn with righteous incandescent rage

It's wrong that they won't let me live in a 55+ community simply due to my age. They should let you in if you match the "general vibe"

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

“This Is Not America” Is the Most Dangerous Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves The idea that large-scale state violence and repression are foreign to US soil is a dangerous fiction.

"The question before us is not whether the U.S. is 'turning into' something else. The question is whether we are finally willing to tell the truth about how power has always worked here — and what it costs to keep pretending otherwise."

TRANS GIRLS WHO AREN'T ON PROGESTERONE:

progesterone is part of the hormone set of cis women and it probably should be part of yours, too. demand it from your provider. low P levels in cis women can lead to mood issues, anxiety, and depression! sound familiar? you're basically in menopause.

Signal is still your safest bet.
You should always assume feds are listening in.
You should *not* switch to some new exciting app that someone is pushing.
And you should still organize.
