Imagine if sometimes some fucking Ț̷̡͂̀̎͠h̸̜̅͐̄ì̸̩̮̃̃̆n̸̗̰̟͉͐̑͋͆͜g̸̮̻͔̼̬͌ could just crash through the shimmering veil of reality with a trail of fragments from the suffocating void enveloping it, grab whoever's unlucky enough to be closest, and swoop back out like it was nothing. And this was just one of your everyday hazards to worry about. Incredible cosmic horror concept
say what you will about the Habsburgs but I really appreciate how many of them created massive baroque synecdoches of their own neuroses. Charles V drove himself crazy trying to manage an intercontinental empire in the 1500s and then spent his final years in a monastery surrounded by clocks, obsessively trying to get all of them to tick in unison. Philip II was a meticulous and obsessively pious introvert and he turned his palace into a bureaucratic warehouse with him sitting at the top floor, correcting the grammar of his advisors’s letters like he was grading essays. Rudolf II was completely checked out of his role as emperor, obsessively collecting foreign curiosities while wars and religious revolts slowly devoured the Holy Roman Empire, just like the live lions and tigers wandering the halls of Prague Castle and attacking servants at random. All of them (the Habsburgs not the lions and tigers) had debilitating prognathism from centuries of inbreeding to keep their ‘noble blood’ (and to keep their territories consolidated), their bodies falling apart from the sheer weight of their dynastic history and endless pursuit of purity and centralization. It’s bizarrely and tragically beautiful.

listen….. ladies…… my advice to you is, do not agonize over the specific percentages of your attraction to women, men, and variously presenting nonbinary people……… do not agonize over whether your attraction is “real” or “just comphet.”
become ruthlessly joy-sensitive. get in touch with your own experiences of embodied desire and pleasure, in particular moments as they arise, not as hypothetical states. find ways to safely experiment! you do not need a label to be fulfilled. just kiss people in real life and get off the internet.
Fucking iconic. It would also allow suing rapists and domestic abusers with awards starting from 10,000, where if the case is won, half the money goes into a fund for women seeking abortions in other states. It’s modelled exactly from Texas’s unconstitutional bullshit bill. Anyone who opposes the constitutionality of this bill would also be calling into question the anti-abortion bill.

FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING NEWS
and the best part?

reminds me of this!
Rick Snyder gets shredded on Capitol Hill: ‘You’re dripping with guilt but drawing your salary’
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder testified this Thursday at a Flint congressional hearing over the water crisis. Snyder, who oversaw the state while its residents were being poisoned by the bacteria and lead-infested water, was the subject of harsh criticism from Congressmen Matt Cartwright who believes that the governor knew more than what he is saying about the tainted water supply.
Roasted. Thank you, Rep. Cartwright. It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch this criminal be told he’s a phony and a liar to his face. Snyder’s led a privileged life where he’s never been in a position to be chastised by anyone, and he certainly deserved this one given that 100,000 people were poisoned under his watch. #Hate it!
DRAG THAT MOTHER FUCKER FOR FILTH
I cried when I saw this for the first time, because it was such a relief to see someone shout at Snyder the way most of Michigan wants to shout at Snyder.
“MY ARROGANCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS AND I WILL MAKE NO PEACE TODAY, AND YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO FIND A WOMAN LIKE ME” | Jenny Holzer, “Projections”
Important note : this is a projection by artist Jenny Holzer, but the text comes from a poem by Arab American writer Mohja Kahf, ’Ishtar Awakens in Chicago’. Holzer used Kahf’s work with her full agreement, I believe they’ve collaborated several times, but please check out the full context of the poem below.
My arrogance knows no bounds And I will make no peace today And you shall be so lucky To find a woman like me
Today neither will the East claim me nor the West admit me Today my belly is a well wherein serpents are coiled ready to poison the world, and you should be so lucky.
All I have is my arrogance I will teach it to lean back and smoke a cigarette in your faces, and you should be so lucky
No I will make no peace even though my hands are empty I will talk as big as I please I will be all or nothing And I will jump before the heavy trucks And I will saw off my leg at the thigh before I bend one womanly knee
I am poison And you will drink me And you should be so lucky.
Ugh, this is one of the best things ever

Conversation with a Native Son: Maya Angelou and James Baldwin
[ID: several still images from the video Conversation with a Native Son: Maya Angelou and James Baldwin. The images are of Angelou and Baldwin sitting at a table together and talking, each with subtitles.
MA: you said something- a man had a question to you about homosexuality, and you had a response to it and I would like to hear it again, and again, and again.
JB: I said- it’s a weary, weary, weary question. I said homosexual is not a noun. It might be a verb, transitive. It is certainly an adjective. But it is not a noun. To ask the question means you don’t know anything about the human experience- where it can take you, what it can do. If you categorize the word in that way then you lock yourself out from so much. I’ve known boys, I swear to you sweetheart, I’ve known cats- I’m taking about white cats too, football player types, who went on the needle. Went on the needle and finally died, because they were so afraid somebody was going to call them a faggot. Well all I know about human life, and I don’t know much…
MA: Less and less!
JB: Yes when I was young I knew a lot! Now I don’t know nothing- which is a great relief. But all I know about human life is if I love you… I love you. And if I love you and duck it, I die. End ID]
If I love you and duck it, I die.
If you’re into sea shanties, may I present:
Reality TV
I want a “queer eye” spin-off where ecologists, urban planners, gardeners, socialists/anarchists/community organizers get together to ‘makeover’ outdoor spaces. The neighborhood that’s in a food desert? Build them a huge urban garden. The soybean farmer who was sued in to oblivion for not using Monsanto beans? Build him a wind farm and hook him into the local grid. That local river that has been polluted for decades? They work with the local high school robots team to build a filtering robot. That rural town with no internet access? Build them a local, high-speed network. There would be a core group of organizers who work with locals, but they could also bring in specialists depending on the problem they were trying to solve. Can you image a show that treated local issues/civil activism the same way it does people in need of a ‘make over’??
Comment on this post if you have an idea of what the show should be called.
Um, It Makes Total Sense We’re All Into Sea Shanties Now
Make sure every cop lover you know sees this.
The cops we responsible for letting the terrorists into the Capitol yesterday
This is a pure white example of tribalism. These T**** cultists are almost all in the same tribe as these traitors breaking into our capitol. Most likely the same holds for the FBI that is supposedly investigating this. It would be amazing if most of the FBI peeps aren’t also T****kins.
House Majority Whip Clyburn on @SIRIUSXM: “They went where you won’t find my name, but they found where I was supposed to be. So something else was going on untoward here.”

People will try to shift the narrative that it was a bunch of unorganized clowns. But this mob, with the aid of the capital police, had weapons, bombs, and zip tie handcuffs and knew exactly where to go to find Whip Clyburn
