Bah, enough old lady social media hellscape rambling, ranting, & raving. Save it for the poems, ya old bag! I'mma go do meal prep & be productive somehow.

Another thing Hive Mind writing often gets wrong across Sci Fi is it rarely accounts for individual willpower & personality affecting any whole, with each new addition changing homeostasis. Like to think - Zerg, Borg, I could scrap with entire populations mentally as verbally to rooms of thousands.

Anarchists have been talking about state-level hierarchies of power & oppression for centuries, & it always kinda turns to Molotovs & guerrilla resistance, unfortunately, a la our Zapatista Parentages or The French Resistance. Not looking forward to dying in trench on 49th parallel, but is what is.

“Win every election” is not a viable strategy for preventing authoritarianism

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

"Baba, recent to you is like five years ago. You live ten times as fast as everybody else." "So? The 1990s were just ten years ago. I still wear my same flannel & slouch beanies from 2010, Old Lady I Am!"

I poke fun at his broadsword exercise whilst I had close-buzzed mohawk & was ripped from summer of pickup soccer & ultimate & did Slam Poetry Monday nights at OG Cafe Deux Soleil & UBC with Johnny, my more talented kin-clan-McRae. Saw he was headlining recently, which I was stoked for but didn't go.

I only did broadsword workshops a few times, but my old roomie/cohost had his blunted broadsword just chillin' in the corner 'cause he did it for a while. You expect to have twenty-somethings be weird, but us two were REAL Vancouver weird. Last of our era of scummy hipsters, I suppose.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza. There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

“the only way people would be in the streets protesting fascism is if they were being paid” lmao I see we’re taking telling on yourself to a whole new level

"I tried to buy an inflatable frog costume for No Kings next weekend but they're backlogged. I'm taking this as a good sign."

Good protest chant, honestly.

Ain't nobody gonna tarnish my honour or ethics, but that has literally made me a villain & public enemy throughout my life as queer & disabled & neurodivergent & different. Be better than them. Don't let the corruption in to fester. Help peeps. Don't hurt them.

Just some senile old lady stupid enough to use her real name on the internet after decades of pseudonyms & gamer handles. Don't mind me.

"Send'er Bud!"

Story of my life, homies.

I know this is trite & rote from a haggard white-scarred old Punk, but fuck Thatcher, Fuck Reagan, Fuck Mulroney, Fuck Trump, Fuck Harper, Fuck Bush, fuck all of them. Disgusting fascist animals. These kinds of evil people only ever hurt people.

Can I sell anyone on "Hermited Mountain Witch Guru?" Pretty dope, helps cut down on the hate crimes as queer & disabled, honestly.

Me too. There's a bag of half eaten Doritos & Maltesers on my office side table right now. Do what keeps you alive, gotta eat, eh?

Ex-sibling ran off a quad at 80kph face first into a tree one weekend, & History TV made a fuckin' comedy bit out of the serious head trauma (after many concussions that turned them rightwing fascist). Think he even two wheeled the work ATV as part of the bit, big tough macho guy, eh? Gonked.

Old Asbestos & Forestry Logging Road Silica Dust in lungs already at 24, but back when I was a public school teacher & later in nonprofits, they ran me through Covid like 5-6 times. I smoke & vape kinda unabashedly despite the CPaP at night knowing what they did to me Biologically. Lungs're fucked.

Thank you for reminding me to talk about Secret Lairs & Universes Beyond in The Rainbow Bible Redux, stranger. The Business Financials Analysis Section likely. Somehow, someway, you got past my muted word filters for "MTG" & similar! Congrats!

FOX News inciting violence should lead to Murdoch's entire fake news factory shutting down & jailtime for all staff there, but know it won't because Yanks are largely cowards or complicit as last 9 months of broken US & International Law have shown us. No Kings better be bigger turnouts this time!

Rapist. Slaver. Murderer. Pox-Bringer. Worse.

Quick reminder that Christopher Columbus was considered a vile, repulsive, evil man even in his own time. His actions as governor of Spain's New World colonies landed him in prison for his cruelty and violence.

The Right hates us disabled people so much, they'll blame our very lived existence as a disease or plague caused by tylenol or vaccines against all proper science & empirical research methodology.

They are here. Fascism is here, globally, again. Any Academic not actively fighting it right now is complicit, especially those purposely allowing/ignoring the erosions of free speech & democracy to ensure their cushy tenure gigs.

Honestly, fact progressive Democratic Socialist ideas have such instant & widespread appeal globally tells us all - that the very societies we live in are crooked & corrupt, with entire establishments clearly sabotaging any positive change globally. Need to cull it all & start fresh, it seems.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

World As Is; Is Filled With Evil People - Because We Taught, Showed, Entire Generations, & Populations, With Mainstream Media: Being Crooked Gets You Ahead. Billionaires Don't work Hard. They Exploit Everyone Around Them, Using & Abusing People. Media? Paid Shills: Lie, Sanewash, "Paycheque."

I've noticed there are people focused on his "dementia" when really the focus should be on something much more sinister: his malignant narcissistic sociopathic dysfunctional behavior. These are dangerous people, caring zero about others, they have no conscience, being criminals, cheaters, liars.

They likely want these sections of business to fail to improve FOX viewership or some shit via media monopoly conglomerate style thinking.

I think the counter argument to “Ellison and Weiss will turn CBS News into an unstoppable propaganda machine” is Bezos’s WaPo which lost basically all the talent and also is in a subscription death spiral

Honestly. Canadian & UK Media should be ashamed of their US Coverage. Enabling Fascists.

This talentless hack & MAGA BFF really needs to have her fake parent-paid media career die already. The Global Zeitgeist is just so fucking rotten & corrupt.

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

Twitch Streamers disgust me. Not just animal abusers using poor pets as props, but others cancelling streams & shit to protect their brand from algo damage - not because they give a shit about poor animals. Think Funhaus really showed me how fake & vapid the streaming personality crowd really is.

I need to grow some indoor Kale in the herb hut, damn it. The grocery store lettuce started to acclimatize then it died on me, so since the alfalfa kinda grew too well as just grass between the green onions going tall & thin now, I do need like spinach or something other than the tea flowers.

Grown both broccoli, Kale, & brussels sprouts, but aphids got my beautiful brussels sprouts, broccoli always went tall & stringy & immediately to flower & seed, & kale will survive being frozen solid like Green Onions & be fine in anything as staple, green - over russian & purple in my preference.

"Red." "Son of that guy." "Blue."

The Bullshit Macroeconomics Recession Definition Is Like Two Subsequent Quarters Of No Or Negative Growth. It's already way worse than that since GDP numbers are fucky & manipulated globally/internationally for credit ratings, IMF, finance, etc. Gonna be bad. We gotta look out for our neighbours.

We are in a recession, by the way. A bad one. Prices are way up. People can't find jobs. I am plugged into this in a very real way. The stock market is just not important unless you are in the top 10%/1%. I have not seen a labor market this bad since 2008. The 2nd Great Depression is coming.

Trump: “We took the freedom of speech away” That's it. That's the quote.

The Dead Kennedys were having to sing "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" like fifty years ago, so shortly after WW2. Frustrates me that my grandfather fought in WW2 in Holland at 16 for nothing but PTSD & intergenerational trauma. It was supposed to be "Never again" every Remembrance Day here in Canada.
