and let the history books name joe biden, rishi sunak, justin trudeau, emmanuel macron, ursula von der leyen and every other world leader who did not step in to prevent the genocide of palestine as cold-blooded murderers. may they face a shred of the immeasurable pain and suffering they allowed to be committed against 2.2. million innocent lives.

eleven year olds need book series filled to the brim with violence and crime. it's like enrichment for them

[natequarter]

if your childhood favourite books don't make you look back and go "man i should not have been reading that, what the fuck" then you're doing it wrong

I don't know if any of my followers have been keeping up with some of the funnier things that have happened this election, but my personal favourite is the state of the electoral ballot for Carleton, Pierre Poilievres riding. (Link goes to the wiki page for the riding.)

There are 91 candidates.

91.

The ballot is over a meter long.

Is this an accessibility issue for voters with poor dexterity/eyesight/literacy? Yes.

Is it also funny as heck that he is so disliked by his own riding that they're fucking with him like this? Also yes.

Something I haven't seen a lot of discussion on in response to the US tariff stupidity, is the reinforcement from both Mark Carney (plausible next Liberal leader) and Pierre Polliwog that Canada needs to increase extraction of natural resources.

As an Indigenous person, all I'm hearing is a huge red flag.

Mark my words, no matter what happens from these tariffs, it will be used as an excuse for Canada to increase its colonial grip. Canadian settlers will sing nationalistic praises about how strong and resilient Canada is, while Indigenous peoples suffer.

I can’t express how important it is to have hobbies in your 20s. To have something you enjoy and look forward to after long work days, tough conversations, and pressures in the real world. You need something to pour into like you’re a child again. The world is expectant, in a rush, focused on outcome. But with a hobby, you can take your time, make it your own, show it to no one, be bad at it, and do it for pure enjoyment without worrying how it will turn out. We desperately need the space to experiment without emphasis on the final product. We need emphasis on the process. Hobbies can teach us how to get back to that space.

there are so many things on gods green earth that are not platonic but are also not romantic. the erotic, the familial, the unconditional, weird codependency, weird codependency (hatred edition), etc. let us all broaden our horizons

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.
