Alot of ppl begrudge #changethename because of all the associations with "liberal, left wing, politically correct" and "woke". But it was a learning opportunity about corporate divestment and forcing corporations to change, when they only want to double down in antiquated hate.

Counter culture should actually be subversive.

bsky.app/profile/xoda... settler traditions demand supplantation. But the act of "playing indian" is also about settlers trying to be subversive towards their own limitations.

"Teepees" (which is actually spelled Tipi) also exist a strong contrast symbol or simulacra in the settler interpretation. The act of supplanting Native structures and meanings with their own also speaks to the love/hate ambivalence settlers maintain in relationships towards Natives.

Noble savage tropes and mystical savage tropes have strong contrast against "traditions" of dominant culture.

I find that Native culture has always been inherently subversive within the imperial core. Which is also why #playingindian has been engaged in such a way ever since the Boston tea party. (As Deloria Noted in Playing Indian).

Counter culture and "being subversive" is also about contrast.

i low-key do kinda love it here sometimes. communal living does have its upsides.

People don't understand the things they co-opt. Don't give them that credit or fall for that lie.

"forced laborers" because they're scared to write "slaves"

not sure democracy can survive in a climate in which people will do literally anything for attention

Alternatively it signals how desperate people are to make any kind of income in a system designed to let you die for lack of income

I haven't seen the originating posts, but I don't need to. You can't be bigoted towards "AI" because: -it is not AI and has no intelligence. It is a resource-hungry simulacrum designed to steal and supplant human labor -it does not have personhood or agency -it is not a being -it is not oppressed

The content and methods of conquest vary historically; what does not vary (as long as dominant elites exist) is the necrophilic passion to oppress. Paolo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Everything I've raised so far has had to be spent on groceries cause we're out of easy foods. We Still need to pay $100 for Insurance, and $230 for soon to be late electric. ko-fi.com/farronox/goa... farronox.carrd.co #MutualAid #Helpsky 💸💕 #KoFi #Throne

Please help Ahmad keep going. He has lost so much and deserves to be able to rebuild his life with his fiance Samar. gofund.me/d2ed72e9

Anything more towards this, for meds, toiletries and other essentials, and to help us clear some of the overdraft would be amazing #MutualAid #MutualAidRequsst #HelpFolksLive2025 #HelpSky 💸💕 ♿️

the fact that other struggling ass ppl are sending bitch the perverts need to stand up now im here for you you get off on me all day every day SEND

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

All the examples I've posted have highlighted larger relationships to schema, empire and in-group/out-group belonging and perception.

When I post about " #playingindian " ppl often associate it with "cultural appropriation" and invalidate it by clowning the "my culture is not a costume" infographic/meme. But I just want to reiterate that "playing indian" is a complex issue that goes beyond costumes.

Just like ppl say we should be wary of "red pill" and "incel" messaging they should be just as critical of colonial relationships to housing/ spatial relationships and how children's play also impacts schema and in-group/out-group perception.

I'm sure if all the children that are made play teepees were shown where those teepees originate and then they saw the actual cultures of ppl in the streets they would be asking "well why are they homeless?".

So, that Discord data breach? The headlines *should* have focused on the Age Verification angle. It affected a 3rd party service Discord uses for Age Verification appeals. It took 3 months from the start of the UKs OSA age checks for the first known data leak. www.theverge.com/news/792032/...

Gonna need more help as I have surgery Monday for my trigger finger and I have a typing job. 😭

I hate to ask but I need $203 for medication and I was out of work for two weeks so no paycheck this week. Kinda stretched too thin (I'm actually trying to find an extra $700 on top of that to cover credit cards and bills my savings didn't have enough for, but I feel bad asking for help with that.)

White America could put an end to all this mayhem if they wanted to. Never forget this.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

New #mutualaid post for October. I'm traveling out of state this month to Colorado to visit my fiance, and groceries are a lot more expensive here than where I live. I've raised enough for groceries for the next two weeks, but with little leftover. c: $fallonbinns v: fallon-binns #helpsky

If you're seeing ICE recruitment commercials on TNT during #AEWCollision, here's the feedback form. Tell the networks to say NO to ICE during our AEW shows! Fuck ICE. Fuck Fascism. tntdrama.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/req...

Be polite, but firm. ❤️👊 We love AEW. It's a place where we can sit back and bask in thrills, fun, spectacle, and triumph. And it's built on support, representation, merits, and equality. This is not an AEW thing, it's a network thing. Be firm, but polite. Because that's what sickos do. ❤️

(Bleakest thing I’ll post) The person who made the ai video of Chris Benoit in AEW should be left on a remote island, alone, with nothing but a fishing rod for eternity

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.
