Seeing what's going on rn with police and national guards putting down protesters makes me think about how in 2014 and 2016 and 2020 and 2023 someone called me a fake leftist because I can't go out and riot like that, as I am one of those people for who tear gas and pepper spray spell death. I'm a fake leftist for not going out and dying an avoidable death so I can do other shit like communicate and educate and agitate and aggregate and support. I'm a fake leftist for having a disability and not wanting to die because of it.

Not wanting to martyr myself painfully and avoidably isn't cowardice: It's fucking sense. I'm better off giving people theory and collecting covid studies and handing out zines at pride where my actions have sustained impact in my community. I'll save the fighting cops (who have killed people far less disabled than me with those same tools) for people who have the fully formed lungs and will experience discomfort instead of suffocating.

This is so beyond true. I wish everyone knew this.

The key to understanding is education. Education is the key to knowledge.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz, Shaykh al-Albaani & Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen

Sheikh Muhammad bin Saleh al ‘Uthaymeen mentioned:

It is incumbent upon the student of knowledge to act upon his knowledge. This includes belief, worship, manners, character and dealings with others. This is the fruit and result of knowledge. The carrier of knowledge is similar to the carrier of a weapon. This weapon could either defend him or harm him. It is because of this that the Prophet (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ

The Quran is a proof for you or against you. (Sahih Muslim)

(Majmoo’ Fatawaa 26/80)

Hey so I just discovered that I apparently have ADHD. How would Our darling emperor react to this?

As I would with anything I have done in my life: with patience. You may need to explain it to me and understand that, as much knowledge as I have stuffed in my cranium, there are things out there which I have no experience in. Though, that piece of advice would do you well with anyone you share your personal information with, lovers and friends alike.

I did a thing today - paid off my car. I've literally never paid off a car before - not one with an actual bank loan.It is a GLORIOUS feeling.(Buy-here-pay-here is not the same emotion.) I learned an important couple lessons in the process, several decades into life.

First, I paid if off through their app, not by check. The send-a-check payoff amount was nearly $100 more than "pay it instantly through our app." I asked them for the best method and the payoff amount. Lovely lady in the text box didn't mention that fact, I stubled on it when I put her dollar amount into the app, and it refused to take more than it was owed. (Computers are simple things, designed for info in - info out, not deceit!)

Second, cancel your autopay!!! My partner mentioned it in passing, after I completed my payment. Sure enough, in the pending payments window were this month's autopay, and next month's autopay! I had a bad feeling about those pending payments when I hit submit on the big one, and was prepared to simply monitor my account for the fraud I knew was coming. Nope, just cancel it. Fears (almost) vanished!

These are things folks with money know. I've lived my whole life on the wrong side of a balance sheet - I've lacked cash to pay my bills my whole experience. This is all new to me. And now you know.

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
