youth liberation is so important as a building block for literally any other form of liberation because the way we treat youth currently is basically just restricting their autonomy for 18 years in the hopes that, by the time they reach age of majority, they will be so used to having restricted autonomy that they will happily give up the autonomy they've nominally earned with their age over to employers, higher education, the government, various other institutions as they apply to the individual, shitty romantic partners, and more

the world has been horrifying recently but i have personally witnessed something that brought me joy

Every year, California’s largest sheep and fiber festival, Lambtown, takes place in Dixon, CA. On the second day of Lambtown, teams of eight compete in a “sheep to shawl” competition, where the teams must start the day with un-spun wool and end the day with a 72” woven shawl. Teams may “warp” a loom ahead of time (where you thread the loom with its foundation of parallel threads), but on the day of competition they must spin their wool into yarn and weave it into a complete shawl.

This year competition was stiff, and very very close, and the winning team finished their shawl with two and a half minutes to spare.

I frequently hear about “needing to keep “politics” out of fiber arts, but art is inherently political.

These were beautiful, masterfully spun, woven, and finished shawls and that in itself is worthy of note.

But watching this team of eight would fight for hours, and pour their love for their community into their art was deeply moving and I am still reveling in the opportunity to have seen this win.

There are few things to rejoice in today, but they do exist. The horrors may persist, but so do we.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

You can only eat 2 foods for the next 2 years (with no health repercussions)

Spin this wheel twice to figure out what they are!

Are you happy with your new food palette?

Literally a dream come true

Pretty satisfied, all things considered

It's fine I guess...

Ugh. I'm counting down the days until this ends

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

How do you stay so silly in the face of adversity? This year is already shaping up to be the worst of my life and, weirdly, I wish I could just channel your incredible perseverance. How do you stay silly? How do you keep the motivation to even post at all? Through the emos, the witches, the death of the Kermit plush, Bucephalus, the fire, nearly getting crucified, getting cursed, losing the job at KFC, and now the whole ordeal that moving always is. How do you stay you?

I refuse to blink first. I refuse to give my enemies the satisfaction. They would love to watch me crumple in despair, but I will look them in the eyes and stretch my Joker Grin ever further, ever more violently, and ever more gleefully. They may try to force my submission, but they will find I have too many teeth.

"One doesn't need to make things unnecessarily complicated at the outset. He who raises his right arm at a slant forcefully and repeatedly while standing on a political stage at a political speech in front of a partially extreme right public is performing the Hitler salute. There is no need for 'allegedly' or 'similar' or 'debated'. The gesture speak for itself, it is documented on video. Whoever then wants to reinterpret it, whoever doesn't want to see (i.e., refuses to recognize) the Hitler salute, does so on their own behalf."

(sorry I am really bad at translating but this is roughly what it says, for my non-German speaking mutuals)
