Look man, I don't know. There are a lot of fascist fuckwits trying their best to ruin everything for everyone right now. There have often been a lot of fascist fuckwits trying to ruin everything for everyone. Not to downplay the pain and trauma we're all feeling at having to struggle through this particular go-round when the future looks especially dark, but it's not exactly a new thing in human history. Alas.

There are still many, many people telling the fascist fuckwits to eat shit. There are still long green spring evenings and slow golden summer afternoons and winter nights and autumn leaves. There are still coffee shops and weird little bookstores and small businesses on sidewalks lined with flowered trees. There are still sunrises and sunsets and blue skies and ocean shores and mountains. Oh yes, there are still mountains, which I have an especial fondness for. High up there in thin air, you can see forever.

There are still Gay People In Your Phone and texts and in-jokes. There are your blorbos. There is still fic and fanart. There are still books and music and games and art. There is a lot of art. Even with the AI beast trying to gobble and commercialize everything, there's still art! There are still people who think using your own brain to do things is important! There are still universities and publishing houses and other places where it's our job to think about things that matter!

There is still work that feels fulfilling to do. There are still constant little moments of quiet and beauty and rest. There are still jaw-dropping pictures of nebulae and galaxies and the great immensity of space, as we continue to learn things we never knew before. And amid all those stars, there is still a tiny, beautiful, and vulnerable blue planet which we only get to live on for a very short time, and there are still kids who are counting on us to make sure they get to inherit it in some kind of recognizable form. There is still the weird fact that when you give someone a hug and sit with them for a while and tell them over and over that it will be okay, it actually feels like it might be okay. I think that all means something.

Doomerism is really easy right now. I get it. I honestly 100% do. But I also don't see any point whatsoever in throwing up our hands and letting said fascist fuckwits gleefully terrify us into submission and make us live in fear and act like they're the Actual Meaning of the World (they are not). They suck so incredibly hard, but they're also so small and so stupid and so ultimately insignificant. They will not define this particular moment if we don't let them, and if we stick around to make sure they don't. Fuck 'em. I believe in you.

Courage, etc.

Some examples of fascist fuckwits eating shit in the last *checks notes* 48 hours, if that is a thing that will bring you some joy:

The unexpected elimination of funding for the decades-long research project focused on women's health shocked scientists. They were heartene

Hundreds of foreign students in the U.S. on F-1 visas said they were informed their SEVIS records were suddenly terminated by DHS.

these fuckers being able to destroy everything is not a foregone conclusion

(the two images below are linked in the above Marisa Kabas skeet)

And in the latest NYT/Siena poll:

Everybody who's been showing up to protest, everybody who's been shouting at town halls, everybody who has been calling, writing, and emailing their reps: this is what you have helped to do.

When they try to pull this shit and we stand up and scream at the top of our lungs "not today, Satan," it works. It may not work immediately and it may work slower than we'd like, but it does work. When we push back hard on their bullshit, they falter.

Things are still scary, yes. I'm not saying we're out of the woods. But there are battles we are winning.

Make your calls, write your letters, show up for your protests, and always, always remember to take time to enjoy the beautiful things in your life, whatever they may be for you.

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

Reminder that this is an option^ instead they're cutting social services that disabled people, veterans, elderly people, and lower income people desperately need. Social services that benefit literally everyone.

Never forget there's more than enough to go around, they're just hoarding it.

Given that trump decided to declare there are only two genders I want to remind you all that there is evidence of trans people going back thousands of years. Back to Sumer, the earliest known civilizations.

In the americas Indigenous peoples have recognized gender variant or two spirit people long before colonization. My people have lived with our land for more than 11,000 years (and yes there is record and scientific evidence of our presence that far back). That's at least 11,000 years of queer history in North America.

What trump is doing goes against scientific and medical consensus. It's an ahistorical, anti-intellectual act of colonialism. We've been here far longer than musty ass power-hungry old men, and we're going to outlast them.

Stay strong and support each other yall 🖤
