Since I can't seem to find a way to avoid being the workplace Cassandra, maybe I could at least make it more fun? I'm can put my predictions and proposed solutions in little dated envelopes and then hand them over when the disaster occurs as foretold

I remember when we used to call for some “precedented times” during COVID, not realising that precedented times meant the barbarity of capitalism expressing itself through genocides, naked imperialism and other horrors. Anyways, welcome back to precedented times under capitalism x

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

Sometimes I think about that one time someone with a frog profile pic snuck into my super secret discord server, looked around, and then just left without posting or interacting. Even though the interface does not indicate it, you could see the "this doesn't look like anything to me" thought process

if my entire argument for banning trans women in sports was that cis men are pretending to be trans women to win against cis women and I tried to make a documentary about it but could not find any cis men willing to do the thing i said cis men do i would simply never show my face in public again

so, to understand this story there are a few things you need to know - my cat, Gus, believes he is a trained support animal - he is not (he has relatives who are, but he is not) - he believes he is a seizure-detecting dog - he is not a dog - I do not get seizures
