When your website is more repressive than the one run by a literal Nazi, you really fucking suck. The only reason I am still on this piece of shit website is to boost Palestinian accounts and out of sheer spite

I feel completely heartbroken over the murder of Jonathan Joss. A gay, Native man murdered in cold blood saving his husband’s life from the hatred of another. The rage is endless. The pain is endless. They keep hurting us. It has to fucking *stop*.

Jonathan Joss's death for Natives is like having one of your favorite white actors die. Now imagine that was the ONLY representation you had growing up. And it was animated. And we lost him from a HATE crime. In the most violent and tragic way possible. We deserve so much better than this.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

AI sucks. Stop using it.

In writing my book about Copaganda last year, I tried thought exercises each day for a few minutes, like this one: “List out the potential reasons why the corporate-owned news chooses to do far more stories on shoplifting (which is down) than on child homelessness (which is up 33%)”
