Feminism lost the plot when it began to demand that white women stop being racist and listen to nonwhites.
MeToo was about recentering white women as victims rather than acknowledging their perpetration of sexism and racism for their own benefit. And that’s why it went nowhere and did nothing.
It’s a lovely morning, so I grabbed a bike and rode to church.
Before you get too impressed, the ride is less than a mile. I’ve walked it several times.
I’m at the bar, getting dinner. I see they have an NA Old Fashioned on the menu, and I’ll pay for a sip.
Zoomies, you drink this shit? What is wrong with you? Who hurt you? Don’t copy us drinkers. Just do your gummies, shrooms, and vapes.
Meanwhile, on Reddit: worshipping billionaires for hoarding resources others need is not violent, but advocating the removal of billionaires is.
Steve Huffman needs to be second against the wall, after Elon.
Something to understand about the nazi salute nonsense is that back during Reconstruction there was a cottage industry of Klan denial, where Democratic papers would pretend the KKK didn't exist or point to their stupid rituals as evidence they were a Republican delusion or otherwise harmless
The biggest failure of the RIAA’s explicit lyrics sticker is not that Zappa’s Jazz from Hell has it, but that Norah Jones’s Don’t Know Why *doesn’t*.
Like the title track off that album is quite sexually explicit, and absolutely nobody at the time seemed to care.
Mario, Mario, where art thou, oh Mario?
Your brother is unjustly held at Riker’s because they say that he shot Bowser. And no, not Commander Riker’s, no, the one where they keep heistors, (Commander Riker would spring him, and he didn’t shoot anyone, he was chillin’ at my place playing Mario Party)
I need to workshop this. Maybe there are lyrics here.
But I do want to make it clear: everyone has an amazing time at Commander Riker’s, and no lines ever get crossed because he’s a perfect host.
May their memories be blessing and a revolution for peace, freedom, and safety for all!
And if you don’t agree, I hope you do some internal reflection as to why you think certain lives are disposable

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired.
You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION.
Don't TALK about the price of eggs.
Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"
I’m starting to see Black people talking about Drake, and I, a pale person, am confused. I thought the consensus was to ignore Drake. I mean, I actually listened to that beef. It was the most significant musical event of my lifetime, and I like music.
Fuck Drake.
Quit demanding unspecific action from Democrats.
Start demanding that the military defend the Constitution from its foes: the Republican Party. Demand that GOP members be treated as the enemies of the Constitution that they always have been.
Demand that the military counter-coup.
We are being price gouged on eggs.
And most of the people who complained the last go round are silent because they only cared insofar as it allowed them to hate Democrats. Since they can’t do that this time, they stay silent.
Someone out there is inspired by you, even if you don’t realize it. Keep being yourself—you never know who you’re giving hope to. 💫✨ #YouMatter#KeepShining
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.
There are no leftists. There are socialists and anarchists. Communists aren’t left, as they all want to merge state power to do violence with corporate power over the means of production, which is Mussolini’s definition of fascism.
There are also contrarians, who only have one side: not yours.
By the way, if you're just now learning about Kendrick Lamar and looking into his work, I'm quite jealous. You get to hear his music and writing for the first time. I'd trade places with you in a second. Enjoy exploring.
In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
if I see one more post about how being a Hobbit is all about sitting around barefoot and eating potatoes I’m going to snap. it’s about toppling authoritarian regimes through self-sacrifice and love in action!!! get off your butt!!!!
(you can bring the potatoes with you though)
I keep telling people not to demand unspecified action of legislators.
Here’s a course of action they can take: they can help us organize a shadow government. Every elected post Nazis hold? We have a shadow person in that role, actively working with community volunteers to do government.
Quite simply, government has failed. If you’re currently an elected official, help us organize people whose job it is to do the job the elected officials don’t. Help us get them paid.
That’s what we need now. Not ads. Do it, and I’ll put up with the ActBlue spam it’ll need for funding.
If you’re on the left, remember all the “leftists” who sold us out for Gaza.
Remember how they rose to prominence on TikTok? Yeah, all of it was an op. They did the Candace Owens grift and used TikTok to do it.
They aren’t left. They were never left. They have what they want: fascism.
They’re just going to keep doing evil shit to “troll the libs” forever. They don’t care about the results. They merely hate you and that is all. They want you in prison. They want you dead.
They will keep pushing for that future because it’s clear that Americans will do nothing to stop them.
I’m just thinking of @lorak.bsky.social covering racist shit at Tesla going back TEN YEARS, whether it’s hateful
slurs towards Black workers, or literal fucking swastikas (weird coming from a company led by the guy throwing up the hitler salutes!), it’s always been clear as day what Musk is about.
Since I avoid driving in icy/snowy conditions like the plague, I’ve only done it a handful of times before. I just spent 3 hours on a snowy I5 in the Weenie Hut Jr lane and now feel qualified to handle anything.
nah sorry i don’t think i’d want someone with your negative attitude to be interacting with my communities.
but try being a better person and hopefully you’ll get there someday.
