Deleted the other app formatted exactly like this one from my phone —my account’s still there though— is it less nazi in here? The levels of vitriol and sadism over there were starting to make it hard to want to do anything besides wish for a huge meteor to come take us out

Guys, I'm not saying don't call your senators, but I am saying faith in government isn't going to save us. Pool your resources. Organize with your friends and neighbors. Find ways of helping each other. If you didn't start already, now is the next best time.

Name something worse than a genocide. Name something worse than a parent picking up the remains of their child in a plastic bag knowing everyone they’ve ever known was also killed and their home is a pile of rubble on the ground. Name something worse than that.

Yes, I was prompted by a series of posts and videos I’ve been seeing pop up over the past few days. 90% of which were by people who’ve had zilch to say for 15 months

The vibes are still a little milquetoasty over here. Need more degenerates

Thinking of whoever it was who posted on the other app “you don’t need a new app, you need a revolution.”

Some news, with a heavy heart and gratitude for the people who fight to keep Palestinians alive, despite. My next poetry collection, WHEN THE ARAB APOCALYPSE COMES TO AMERICA will be published by @haymarketbooks.org in 2026.

Idk if it’s the app(s) per se—they’re just tools—as much as it is about an apathetic public that has been engineered to always operate from a place of disregard for a world whose demise they’ve always been implicated in, which now seems especially triggering and unforgivable.

She’s cool! I checked out Sea of Tranquility last year, which I recommend. It got a little dull towards the middle and just as I was about to give up on it, it started getting really good and I couldn’t put it down anymore.

I’ve had a tendency to do that a lot throughout my life but have recently found that this type of stress leads to behavior that repels opportunities to solve my problems. The moment I shift my perspective to one where I’m receptive to my environment & fully engaged in it solutions inevitably appear

AFAIK it clears your body in 3 days but the psychological addiction lingers for much longer
