Once again I would like to remind everyone that it is almost certain that you are not practicing state resistance level security and hiding your face at the protest you arrived to using public roads is not that. If you actually need to practice that level of security you shouldn't be discussing

whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth

people are not going to move to your rural small town and start a business that stimulates the economy if they think they are going to get killed and at the moment it has the vibe of "most people would get killed. very few types of people who would not get killed"

how to explain to ur rural small town that if u want to revive the downtown and get ppl to live here u need to stop being republicans

Also, please brace for more advertising-type posts from me, alas. Also also, you can buy my book from Past-Itch Press, and support TWO incredible trans artists for the low low price of $12: www.lulu.com/shop/atkinso...

I don’t know what comes next, and I don’t have much of a financial cushion. Come August, I’ll lose my housing and my health insurance. Right now, Journeyman Fiber Arts is my only source of income. If you’ve been eyeing my yarn, now is a good time to support me. journeyman-fiber-arts.myshopify.com

I do feel like one can believe that Jefferies sucks and isn't delivering what the base wants without being racist.

Whichever rich country figures out how to be normal about gender and immigration first is going to establish a god emperor of dune style galactic empire

I keep saying this. I post about Kpop or crafts or a movie and it's very low engagement. I rant about politics and it gets likes. Sigh. Makes it kinda draining to be here.

One of the issues that still exists with this place compared to pre-Musk Twitter is the lack of low stakes pop culture and life posting We're all a bit too serious here, I think

Love how on here I can post something very niche about politics or public policy and it'll get >30 likes Then I'll do a post saying 'I like this song' and it will get 2 likes lol

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

I'm not sure anything makes me angrier than the dipshits who spent years bloviating about the Sacred Heritage of the Enlightenment Tradition casually dismissing the lives of millions of people based on some crude utilitarian calculation of state utility. Are human beings sparks of the divine or not?

You limousine liberal piece of garbage, you who eat hamburgers served to you by a clown, who eat the hamburger of a literal king, who sip of the Blizzard of a Queen, you who claim to stand against the wealth yet embrace monarchy

Oh, thank god, yet another way I can actively repulse the type of people I want to stay the hell away from me. Add that to the septum ring and bag charms.

Living in the south this is especially stark because people driving $100k+ vanity trucks and living in mini mansions on the mountain with their own factory will say they are working class because they drive a truck and listen to country music. Cosplay cowboys.

i genuinely do find it fascinating how being authentically "working class" in America now has nothing to do with like, your actual relationship to ownership or your wage relation/bracket, but entirely about what you consume or look like

I thought this said 'poorly' for how fucking insane this post is. Was like, yes obviously she's not well after double fast food shrimp

I say this as a Christian, our attendance does tend to suddenly surge when people are afraid of an impending apocalypse. We usually get more visitors when things are *bad* as opposed to good.

i don’t think he understands the motivation

Sometimes it is a bit of a lonely road having a soloist woman as my Kpop ult. Seemingly everyone else is a boy band stan & my favorite Kpop boyband is XLOV so... That only sorta counts lmao. & their albums are hard to find.

Any Jigumis in the audience? I am on a quest to own all versions I can of all Yena's albums and I can't find Smart Phone in stock in either version anywhere, like not even Amazon.

I am... Skeptical that my package is arriving today. Which is a shame, because it's a different toy and I am full of the need to regulate today because the energy in the world is bad, lol.

A lot of the time people want to believe that every quirk about me is explained soley by PTSD & my insane upbringing, so I have to be very clear that, no, see, I was bullied by OTHER kids in a doomsday homeschooling cult. They could spell the neurodivergence. Peer Diagnosis.

It's a good thing none of you are guilty of any high crimes, frauds, or treasons, right? ... Right?

hey man just letting you know you're on camera

Sex doesn't have to have "consequences" you absolute freaks. Get therapy for your weird hangups and stop opining about other people's sex lives in public like you're civilized. And yes, this is a man. Yes, it's exactly the man you think it is.

"contraception is bad" what FUCKING year is it

You couldn't pay me to set foot in Texas. I will always stand with the people oppressed in Texas, because I know many are stuck there or refuse to leave their homes and families. AND my god, Texas is the source for so much American evil in law, it's incredible.

I... Need people to understand that when people say "you have the same goals" they actually mean "you specifically have the shared goal to take down this threat" & YES that IS a priority when the threat is existential.

You've Surfed your last Butthole.

Cats love me because I don't feel like I am entitled to handle them. Inevitably I always end up adopting the cat at the shelter everyone said hates people and they love me forever. (Miss you, Catalina, thanks for sending Harriet, enjoy scratching God's rugs.)

I think Stephen Miller might actually be the worst person in the entire administration. Yes, I do mean worse than Trump.

It's always interesting to watch people absolutely insist people said or did things online that verifiably did not actually happen because there is a literal record. Like it's embarrassing to be too lazy to actually check. It's so weird.

If I felt I were the rightful representative of the volk I would simply muster more votes than my pathetic interloper competition

All of the Defense of Western Civilization and assimilation calls and ersatz fears about crime are a veneer for white identity politics that says "America is for one color first."

"You're the wrong color to enjoy American life" is not the American Way of life. Break it down to this absurdity because it is, in fact, what the Right is claiming.

thirdly, to tie it back to the need for democrats to decorously punish our enemies: yes, a reign of terror would be bad. but there are real people who have been hurt very badly by this administration. not insulted, not disregarded, but tortured and killed. demanding "grace" from them is a big ask.

Okay, legitimately, how bad is AC actually for the environment these days, and is it so bad that it's not worth saving lives? Because I imagine we have worse habits that save few to no lives we could target first.

I really don’t think you can deny that there’s some weird-ass cultural attitudes about AC being somehow immoral and wasteful floating around in certain places (yes, including in the Northeastern US).

olivia reingold on 60 minutes: “when i say ‘cookies’ you probably think of cookie monster. but what if i told you about a scarier kind of cookie. one the socialists use to track you on the internet.”

honestly I feel like "enforcing laws on the books" would get you really far considering the amount of CSAM content that Grok was used to generate and how very openly Elon flouted any attempts to get him to rein it in. Between that and probably some data privacy stuff you can probably nuke it hard?

This is why I say we need to set an example. We have to prosecute all the worst people involved in this so hard it puts the fear of god in anyone thinking the crown in the gutter afterwards looks okay. Murder isn't the way to get that. Humiliating defeat is. Restore functioning laws/trust.

breaking his wealth and then smashing his platform takes away his power but it also sends a much stronger warning to his relative peers than random assassination fantasies, and it’s the behavior of the entire cohort we need to curtail

one reason i get annoyed with fedposting from people who know better is that there are legitimately better and more actionable strategies for dealing with musk than imagining that murdering him is literally the only solution for him, embrace state capacity

I am just saying it's weird how when Americans have a problem it's "you all need to fix it, ignorant babies," but when Europe has a problem it's "this is complex actually, the government won't let us" oh, you don't say? Boot also upon your neck? Hmmmmm.

It's a right wing fantasy that whenever government resources are removed, some other mythical actor will: a) do the job b) for less money c) with better outcomes And despite this almost never happening, they'll keep claiming it.

“Why aren’t you mad all the time?” man asks website that is clearly mad all the time

"three million people starve to death, what's an extra six hundred thousand here or there" is a hell of a take
