@realbadbadger
thanks for sending me that link to your western newspaper explaining why we shouldn't side with the countries actively working to destroy the capitalist system and put an end to american imperialism - unfortunately i couldn't read the article because the thing was so thoroughly drenched in blood i couldn't make out a single letter
IF I DIE IN GAZA, PLEASE REMEMBER I WAS NEVER JUST A NUMBER. I HAD DREAMS, A LIFE, AND A HEART FULL OF HOPE.
I AM TIRED OF BEGGING FOR HELP. TIRED OF PAIN, HUNGER, AND SCREAMING SILENTLY WITH NO ONE HEARING ME.
My account was restricted, and I lost the support that helped me survive while fighting severe anemia in Gaza.

SECOND TIME THE MEDICAID TRANSPORTATION TO A DR APPT HAS SHOWN UP (OR DID THEY?) OUTSIDE THE PICKUP WINDOW (REALLY EARLY THIS TIME INSTEAD OF LATE), LEFT A GARBLED VOICEMAIL, AND THEN FUCKED OFF, MAKING ME MISS THE APPOINTMENT! 🤪🤪🤪🤪
HERE IS W sorry here is what they do not tell you about welfare programs, and why poor people avoid using them strenuously unless it absolutely cannot be avoided: this is normal. it is normal for these programs, even when they exist, to simply not function, even when the infrastructure has been successfully instated. of the three rides i have scheduled this way, two of them have ghosted me in this manner, and neither time when i called to report it to the medicaid program front desk did the receptionist on the other end seem even vaguely surprised. they are spending your tax money on cab companies no-show fees and the cripples are still not getting to our stupid appointments. after all that. "why does everyone in america need a car" because it is impossible to go anywhere or do anything without one in 99.9999% of the square acreage of the country
the ONE trip i have successfully completed with this program required about five phone calls to do so, during which the person on the other end repeatedly told me "dont trust the website, it's not accurate" while the phone tree told me 'just hang up and use the website! it's fast and its free!" and then the receptionist added "yeah you really do need to call us after you send the trip request to make sure we got it, and then again the day of the trip to make sure the driver is actually coming"
every single one of these phone calls takes 20-90 minutes of waiting on hold, giving details, being nice, etc
a lot of folks on the anti-communist left fall into a sort of nihilistic despair at the state of things because they are unwilling to see the incredible advances in actual socialist projects as real, leaving an increasingly derelict capitalist structure as the only thing that exists in their perspective. which, in fairness, would also make me rather depressed! getting over the hurdle of accepting that socialism exists in real life does just totally ameliorate that, however.

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀
if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

evergreen tweet
Love when the “I’m going to shame disabled people into having better hygiene practices” person shows up on my dash. 🙃
Shaming people into taking better care of themselves doesn’t work. Making fun of them for not doing laundry as often as you think they should is just cruel.
You know one reason people may start falling behind in care tasks? Depression. You know something that can cause or worsen depression? Shame.
Okay so I’m gonna make this the positivity post.
You’re doing fine. It’s okay.
Do what you can when you can and that’s fine.
But also, if there’s someone in your life that can help, please don’t let shame or embarrassment prevent you from seeking that help. If you genuinely can’t keep up with certain tasks, please consider asking a trusted person for assistance.
And don’t listen to anyone disparaging you. They don’t know your life. They aren’t in your shoes. They can’t understand the difficulties you face. And ultimately, your actions don’t effect them.
Do what you are able to do when you are able to do it. Seek help if you are able and need it. You’re doing your best and that’s all that matters.
Remembering this tweet today. (For those of you who don't know, Josh Sawyer was the Project Director and Lead Designer of Fallout: New Vegas)
today i learned that Fidel’s mother (a poor cuban) was originally his father’s (a well off, domineering Spaniard) domestic servant. one doesn’t need a full biography to extrapolate the levels of exploitation and coercion that kind of relationship entails. and she raised a man who would go on to dedicate his entire existence fighting for women and all oppressed peoples the likes of which latin america has never seen before or since
*licks finger and tastes the air* my fallout game is about to crash
personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist
What are your thoughts on video game remakes compared to their originals? It's ok if you don't have an answer! I ask because lately my PC has been running out of space, and I thought I could free some space up by deleting remakes (like Crash or Spyro), and emulating the originals instead. But if I do so I'm worried I'll come across like those gross reactionary "return" types who so often hate remakes because of some detail they claim is "woke" D: I feel like I might be overthinking though...
Sometimes video game remakes are good and sometimes video game remakes are bad. Just play whatever version you want, don't worry about it
scariest thing is when you're a kid in a huge family run by women and then you go over to a house that's deeply patriarchal & misogynistic. i remember when i was 8 years old and i got invited over to my friend's house for a big birthday party with her entire extended family. after the enormous lunch that served over 30 people, i got called into the kitchen to do literally hundreds of dishes, alongside all the other little girls and women. not only were the boys our age all excused from the meal to go play, but all the grown men went to the living room to watch sports together and drink. i couldn't believe it. i asked why some of the grownups were watching TV but the girls had to clean up and all the women just laughed and laughed at me.
as a teenager when i learned the word "sexist" and used it the older women balked at it and tried to convince me this arrangement was a good thing actually because women need space from men, and cleaning in the kitchen after parties is a sacred domain of safety. and i was like actually i think needing private safety from your own husbands, sons, and brothers sounds even worse. like do you understand you somehow made this even more troubling than it already was
like i think it's fine if a bunch of sister-in-laws/wives want time together without their husbands & brothers to talk together in camaraderie. i'm not judging that. obviously. but dare i ask why the women's meetup could only take place while doing manual labor for a nearby room full of men
it's also interesting how this ingrained rigid social structures in children bc i was mostly friends with boys at that age and in fact was at the birthday party of a friend who was a boy so i remember complaining to him at school that it was weird all the girls had to help clean up because i didn't know any of the other little girls so i felt really left out that i didn't get to hang out with my own friends for a chunk of the party and he and the other little boys were like "that's just the rules."
yeah growing up in the Appalachian bible belt I absolutely often saw this re-enforced by women.
It's really funny that redditors convinced themselves that the stupid Tiananmen Square copypasta is going to get chinese people forcefully disconnected from their internet service or something while the UK government will get your ass if you complete the sentence "Soldier F is ___" and has actively worked with google and with social media websites to censor posts or search results about Soldier F
Like 90% of the shit people make up about China is actually true for the UK

In case the links ever go down, Soldier F is David Cleary, a British paratrooper.
He murdered two Irish people in Derry, occupied Northern Ireland, who were demanding their civil rights on what was later called Bloody Sunday, January 30, 1972. He wounded four more. In total 13 irish demonstrators demanding equal rights were murdered by British paratroopers that day.
