Anarchomomist

The thing about Watson was that he was a world-class racist, but he was also a remarkable misogynist, and the biggest achievement of his life was stealing from a woman.

just got a little sparkly waterfall of good feelings over the thought of how mad Trump must be right now

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its “failures.” It is saying “the state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.

I 100% assumed this was fake. It's not.

If any of you think things aren't real bad out right now, go look at how fully stocked all of the Halloween candy aisles are.

Nobody is buying anything

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

So, the Palestinians shot and the bus blown up weren't a test of the ceasefire but this is?

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Hey now, there's a 70% ICE was driving the black SUV and rammed into another ICE vehicle. Because not only are they murderous fascists, they're also bad drivers.

Real "what if we gave the most awkward kid at Bible camp a gun" vibes

Well this is a complicated feeling

yeah I have a "preexisting condition" or whatever it's called I don't want to die of measles

ICE is up, and there are early reports indicating they're targeting Albany Park again.

The worst trick ever played on me was everyone saying how hard marriage is. Like nah, that particular marriage was just shitty.

Recently, I learned about a human species that may have gone extinct because they kept eating each other. They didn't need to, it was just a weird choice they made and led to their downfall.

Can't imagine why I'm thinking of that right now

There's a difference between having a routine with a toddler that doesn't have a concept of time and setting an arbitrary bedtime for a child that is capable of reason.

Respecting a child's autonomy means different things at different ages.

"Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom - poets, visionaries realists of a larger reality." -Ursula K. Le Guin

“All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don't, our lives get made up for us by other people.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wave in the Mind

Can someone please explain to me how Charlie Kirk who was in his 30's was the leader of a youth movement and also too young to be held responsible for what he said but I'm in my 30's and ravaged by arthritis????

Nah.

God damn you means more from someone with a collar

8 people shot doesn't seem like random violence, it seems like a targeted mass shooting.

But instead of focusing on the unhoused as victims of political violence, a dem mayor is taking it as an opportunity to enact more violence against them

Utterly sickening

Should I be worried about getting this text from a random number? Because it sure is weird

That being said, I lack the patience to walk folks through their realization that violence is in fact bad when they still are so selective in how they apply that realization.

Violence is a meme for people until it isn't. But they expect everyone to realize it's serious at the same moment.

Everyone who realized before them is a scold and everyone who is where they were last week is an evil callous monster.

When even a monster understands something you should too

Hi! I think we may have spoken last week before the press conference. I just wanted to reach out to let you know we'll be doing another small distro tomorrow at 11:30 or so if you want to come out. We'd love to chat more in a more laid back setting
