Mystic Mikester

I'm a queer survivor of abuse, addiction, and homelessness, living w/ bipolar & HIV. I do radical memes & commentary because I love it and to supplement disability income. Support my work here: Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/mikester Venmo: @mikesteraz Cash App: $mikeshipley Zelle/PayPal: mike@mikeshipley.com

I am raising funds for a moving truck, a deep professional cleaning so I can get my deposit back, pizza/refreshments for my helpers, security deposit on the new place, and moving supplies like packing tape and bubble wrap. Thanks in advance for helping me make a new start!!

genuinely cannot imagine anything like this ever happening again.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people that sell calzones to disclose on the menu whether they include ricotta or not so you know whether you need to add it as a topping.

Sorry I've been quiet lately, I'm using a new scheduler called Mixpost and the free version only has Facebook and Mastodon so you can follow me on those for now until I'm able to upgrade.

I love this image of collected theology as a mixtape. I strongly concur with the sort of custom-assembled, personal collection method, it's why I emphasize mystic connection to spirit and I believe it's what Jesus intended when he sent the Holy Spirit as our teacher.

"Digitizing a book is literally genocide" STFU

Not even from other disabled people

Clanker pride!! ✊

This kind of nonsense is why transitioning beyond wage labor matters so much.

Every accusation is a confession.

Hot Take: An easy way to stop having language models (and other humans) reflect lies back to you is to stop repeating lies on the internet. Always fact check everything. 💡 #garbageingarbageout #lifehacks

Online bullying isn’t power - it’s pressure release. Real power is a progressive congress that can write pro-labor automation policy. UBI, shorter work weeks, worker ownership of AI gains - all of it is on the table. But only if we stop performing outrage and start building.

This weirdest part of this is clothing was a human response to shame. God was stunned that they covered their bodies, it was a huge red flag. They were naked in the garden until the fall.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe clanker isn't a slur. Maybe it's a snarl word with a documented track record of laundering racism. And the left adopted it uncritically and let it calcify into an in-group litmus test, turning it into a tool of exclusion. I feel like that’s actually worse.

Capitalists cannot be trusted with the means of automation. Let's take it from them.

Come and see the racism, homophobia, ageism, and ableism inherent in the discourse.

Hot Take: Letting the empire spin out of control and then acting like we had no power to stop it is not radical. It is negligence. If you believe in democracy, show up for it when it matters. We owe Iran an amends, and if Trump doesn't pay out of pocket, the rest of us should.
