Covid is not over and black lives still matter. Stop trying to "go back to normal" when shit is still happening.

Stop going on trips and going to restaurants without masks.

Keep educating yourself and protesting and calling and donating and signing petitions.

Wear a mask. End white supremacy. Defund police.

I know it's tiring but it's not over for either thing even though people are pretending it is. I know the overlap is exhausting. But be safe, social distance, and keep fighting the good fight.

we are already living in the cyberpunk future and i know this because within a span of 3 days we went from this tweet:

to thousands of people making phony images and replying to them with their passionate desire to have them as a tshirt to overload the bots with nonsense and junk and send out warnings to shoppers like this:

and now we even have people replying to pictures of baby yoda with “i want this on a tshirt” knowing how ravenous disney is being with copyright in hopes to get the stores taken down altogether

i dont know what it is about stuff like this and the whole turn mei into a symbol of hk protesters thing but, its really reassuring for some reason

sucks how the internet is only for children now

[nothingbutchaff]

sucks how 99% of all content produced Online has to be posted on one of three websites, thus ensuring the internet itself is owned by massive corporations who want you to post (because they want ad revenue) but don’t want to actually put any real work into moderating these spaces. instead of putting labour towards moderation, they’ve instead instilled a blanket ban on ‘naughty’ words like kill and murder in an attempt to Protect the Children from bad actors but those bad actors/nazi/white supremacists are still posting anyway but god forbid you say ‘fuck’ on your youtube video or you’ll get demonetized so fast it’ll make your eyes cross.

let me say ‘murder’ on twitter you bastards

reasons I cannot create content:

1. head empty no thoughts

2. head full too many thoughts

The Panthers used to ride around and follow the police.

So the cops would pull over some sorry black person, and get ready to rough him up, but then there were the Panthers right behind them. Watching, armed to the teeth, and citing legal statutes. It’s inspirational.

[ssstop-it-sunflowa]

[thefandomdropout]

That’s why the FBI broke them up, isn’t it ?

[goddesscru]

That among other community initiatives. They had weapons training, self defense, their free breakfast program and ran a newspaper. They raised money to pay for bail and legal funding for people. And they used to notify the community of their rights and encourage people to know the laws and protest the one which were unjust. That type of shit irked the local police and damned sure struck a nerve with the FBI. They were taking back the streets and providing the protection the police were never interested in bringing to their neighborhoods from the very start. So it’s always fuck the FBI for me.

[quinintheclouds]

I can’t believe they kept all of this from us in school. I mean, I CAN but I hate it. The more I learn the less I respect the way History classes are run in the us

[happyhealthycats]

Citra is REALLY bad at meowing. She sounds like a broken party favor when she remembers to actually meow.

[timemachineyeah]

OH MY GOD

[heatherwanderer]

Being an orange female kitty is already rare, but you had to go adopt the one in a million who can’t cat properly

[happyhealthycats]

She came in a two pack so I had to.

Simcoe (left) and Citra (right), both girls. Both rescues. Both biological litter mates (sisters). Both long term loving projects to teach human trust to.

Simcoe got 100% of the meowing capabilities.

[siren-kitten-his-deactivated202]

[clairelovexo]

WAIT! WAIT!! So, are you telling me that actual, normal meow was the sister? Who, seemingly, just meowed at the moment because she saw her sister struggling so she tried to help by giving her an example???

[happyhealthycats]

THAT was actually Seymour. Who does also love Citra, but wasn’t really helping. He’s just very vocal because he’s an exclamation mark in a cat’s body.

[ferrousferrule]

Was seymour adopted before or after the beer phase that produced Simcoe and Citra?

[happyhealthycats]

After! One of his possible names that we played around with was Mosaic. I assure you, 4 years in and my husband and partner still love beer 🤣

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

i know we're all probably past realizing this but can you believe that science has come to a point where we're coming up with all of these way better and way less harmful alternatives to things like plastic just for them to never be implemented on a large scale and instead be used in small and impractical situations that provide net zero benefit just because the companies that do produce plastic don't want to let go of their stranglehold on the markets.

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

this is what we mean when we say "capitalism prevents innovation" in all of its ability to apply to the real world and not in some weird theoretical context. at the end of the day, capitalists want to turn a profit. and they can't do that unless they buy out all the competition. going back to our plastic example, pretty much every executive in the plastic industry can agree that any widespread alternate to their product is gonna hurt their profits, so they can either choose to completely reform their companies and produce the alternative, or they can take the easy route and just spawn kill any plastic alternative kickstarter. this is what lenin meant by monopolies; it's not just one company, but a number of companies that can all agree that anything outside of their jurisdiction is Bad and needs to be neutralized. it's how entire industries can thrive despite the general population knowing that what they're doing is bad.

[sonnywortzik]

What the hell does " pro-veteran anti-military " mean?

it means i can oppose war, american imperialism, the military industrial complex, and the cult of male violence without discounting the myriad factors that contribute to someone enlisting, including but not limited to millions of dollars spent annually to recruit children. 

also means i’m disgusted with a culture that superficially venerates veterans for nationalist and capitalist purposes while simultaneously fucking them over re: housing and healthcare and suppressing veteran voices should their experience as a vet happen to inform anything resembling anti-military sentiment

Since it’s almost that time of the year again

[thefollow-spot]

Just saw a TikTok where this bi woman was like,

‘I’m a woman-leaning bisexual and you know what pisses me off? The fact that I’m dating a skinny white man and I love him and I’m happy, like what the fuck.’

And I just have to say. What pisses me off as a bisexual woman is that TikTok.

This is the Woke version of ‘my wife is the ol’ ball and chain, doesn’t it suck to be married,’ jokes. It’s not funny. Your queerness is not negated or tarnished by opposite-gender attraction, dating men isn’t inherently worse than dating women.

Love your partner.

Cherish them.

For fucks sake.

[higgsboshark]

So much this. I’ve had a rant building for a while and it looks like today’s the day.

I’m getting REAL SICK of that “bisexual means I’m attracted to all women and two men” joke. I’m getting equally sick of the implication, in a thousand ways, that men are bad and it’s inherently worse to be attracted to them. If you’re a woman or woman-adjacent and you fall in love with a man, there’s this horrible and easy-to-internalize idea that you’re taking the lesser option.

Like y’all. Y’all? You know that’s gender essentialist radfem bullshit, right?

If you didn’t, I’d like to gently suggest you consider the idea that "Men are problematic (read: sinful) and violent, women are pure, beautiful and loving” is just conservative Christian ideology in a gay hat. We are not advancing towards equality for all genders by flipping which end of the scale is The Bad One (TM).

I’m bisexual. I make a point of talking about being queer (because it’s my identity and culture, and that’s important to me), and I present mostly in the androgynous area of the spectrum. People often assume I’m only/mostly interested in women.

That’s actually not true. I like all genders, but when it comes to specific people, I’m most often attracted to men. And it makes me sad -- really, genuinely sad -- how many times I’ve felt ashamed to talk about that. Even though I’m not a woman, liking a man has made me feel “not queer enough.” Hell, some days it still does.

I’m gonna say this, even though I know a lot of people won’t like it. And I will also say in advance that I am not accepting criticism and I don’t argue on the internet as a personal mental health policy.

That said, here is the statement: This too is a closet.

Anytime you’re ashamed to admit to liking someone because they’re the “wrong” gender, anytime falling in love is treated like a disappointment instead of a celebration, I don’t care who you are or who your partner is, that is a FUCKING CLOSET. And I would appreciate it if we could STOP PUTTING PEOPLE IN THOSE.

[thegreenmeridian]

Honestly, shit like that should be seen for the relationship red flag it is.

If you’re a man, absolutely do not date someone who thinks their attraction or affection for you is something they ought to be ashamed of.

And regardless of your gender, avoid women who subscribe to the idea that women can do no wrong and are inherently pure and safe because holy fuck is that an easy and gaslighty shield to hide behind for abusers. I’ve heard a variation of that story too many times to think there’s not a correlation there.

[whatbigotspost]

In the past 6 months, my state’s “leaders” have:

•passed a law to ban abortion come Sept 1

•dropped mask mandates SUPER EARLY and then later BANNED localities from making mask mandates saying, “Texans, not gov’t, should decide their best health practices”

•were the biggest fucking hypocrites (read the first bullet point again and then the boldest quote again.)

•repeatedly pursued extreme anti trans legislation (in progress)

•sued other states about their 2020 election results bc their fave didn’t win fair and square (while being under federal indictment himself)

•denied Houston federal Hurricane Harvey relief

•passed an anti Critical Race Theory bill in the house (still in progress to Senate)

•passed a law to REMOVE GUN PERMITTING on handguns

•left their citizens to die in an ice storm without electricity or water for days on end because they didn’t weatherize the grid (for profits)

•failed to help citizens at all or outright fled to Cancun when that^ was happening

•oh you know that electrical grid that failed in feb which caused all that suffering?? Well they are now pursuing a *bail out* for the electricity market w/ tax dollars

•chosen to back out of the federal $300/week unemployment bumps for suffering citizens on June 26.

This is just off the top of my head.

I’m so frustrated and I feel so stuck.

Let me pre-specify THIS NOT AN INVITATION FOR NON TEXANS TO TALK SHIT. No one outside of this state knows half as well how much it can suck as those who live in it. Also bear in mind that “leave” is a nonsense comment to anyone who doesn’t have much $ or who has a whole life and otherwise fulfilling local community that happens to be in this state.

There are a lotttttt of incredible, one-of-a-kind good things/people here, doing good things, making good things, and working hard to end the oppressive shit, but it’s incessant. What an exhausting and fucked up state of affairs.

I’m lucky that Austin/Travis county has *some* better policies (when they’re not overturned by the state.) But the truth is that this whole place really is so blatantly gerrymandered and voter suppressed to death. The systems are being strangled by money and the most vulnerable suffer.

It can be soul crushing to really think about. I wish I had a happy note to end this on but I’ll just be honest and stop writing now because there isn’t one.
