I have walked through nearly forty years of psychiatrists, therapists, groups, twelve-step programs, and self-help books. All the tricks, all the affirmations, and everything else is old news. 'Been there, done that' rings true, and I would have the first tee off the silk screen.

As long as the US is a country that believes people should get shot for ‘resisting arrest’ there will be no justice.

Maybe we shouldn’t use the Forbes 400 as an indicator of intelligence.

Someone on the news this morning referred to Alex Pretti’s murder as ‘a shooting involving an ICE agent.’ Didn’t even say Alex’s name.

At some point Silicon Valley gave up on making cool shit and started making profit centers.

Ace is the place for your helpful hardware man.

Hey all you flag humpers here in the US: You do realize the flag is going to be seen like the Nazi one when this is all over. Although, many of you have been flaunting a loser’s flag for 175 years, so I suppose the stars and bars will be no different.

They are the Wall Street Journal and they don’t know how tariffs work?

Calls against your team? Egregious BS. Calls against your opponent? Righteous karma.

I don’t necessarily have an opinion on doxxing, except for ICE goons. I think we should dox the shit out of those freaks.

Waiting — A Poem

#poem #poetry #amwriting #waiting

Even if the DC media isn’t complicit in Trump’s take over, who do you think they are hanging out with at cocktail parties?

Dear fellow US citizens. Stop waiting for the great person of history to save you. No one is coming. We organize and fight together.

Never seen a bigger group rugged individualists falling so quickly in line behind a strongman.

She should have complied with his orders, the Trumpers gloat. So sick of law enforcement murders framed as the victim’s fault. Cops aren’t judges or juries. Why are we letting them be executioners?

Hey, fellow white US citizens. Don’t be so eager to be oppressed and help the ones that are.

I know, I am going to make an inflammatory statement then lock replies. If a hot dog is a sandwich, so is a taco.

Only in the US does the media consult the cops in protests about the cops.

The blue guy in a red state is pretty sure his vote for president doesn’t count, the same for a red guy in a blue state. The US Constitution suppressed two votes without even trying.

They really think this justifies her murder.

The feds are out in force on Bluesky. Yes, you have 2A rights. However, randos on social media offering advice on how to exercise said rights? Probably not as helpful as you think.

Nobody on X should get screenshots on Bluesky, even if it’s an agreeable message.

Is ‘don’t you support the soldiers’ in response to criticism about illegal orders going to become the new ‘thoughts and prayers’ after a school shooting?

Our military carried out illegal and unconstitutional orders on behalf of that man. Now all of us in the US know the truth. The military is on Trump’s side. It’s not as long a walk from bombing Caracas to shooting citizens that disagree with that man.

The seventies are meant to be listened to on vinyl.

Don’t outsource your brain to AI.

Let’s stop calling them victims and start calling them survivors.

AI can never be intelligent. It was trained on us and have you looked around at us? We’re a mess.

Just want to remind Wall Street it wasn’t poor people leaping to their death when the Great Crash happened in 1929.

If you are using LLMs to reply to the world, did you really respond?

You know how Charles Dickens thought three ghosts would bring an evil capitalist to his knees? As if he would suddenly have shame when shown his wicked ways?

Not sure what is funnier. Jake Paul getting his jaw moved four inches to the left or all the gamblers that lost their bet on him.

Feeding my inner thirteen year old. Nearly fifty years on… #photography #nostalgia #vinyl

Hey, all you blue staters. Why are you pushing for civil war? Who do you think is going to suffer first? Who do you think is already suffering at red state hands? It is awfully easy to be brave when you are throwing bombs from inside the castle walls.

I am finding this whole ‘the military will stand up for the Constitution’ naive. They are killing innocent people in the Caribbean, and I don’t see an exodus of sailors or soldiers resigning in disgust.

So sick and tired of cynical posters claiming no one in the US is doing anything about Trump’s takeover. People are protesting somewhere every day. Mutual aid societies are sprouting up all over. Communities are fighting back. The cynics don’t see it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Between Trump, the oligarchs, and all the armed Cletus’s down the street, there sure seems like a lot of people in the US want to kill other people with impunity.

Sunny days don’t sell umbrellas, just like reporting good news doesn’t sell Ozempic.

It’s not that AI is bad (it is), it’s that it’s hopelessly mediocre.

I don’t often bake, though I once did frequently. I volunteered to make rolls for #thanksgiving. Dusting off a favorite old bread recipe, I kneaded and baked, and I think I did okay.

The crappy thing about disability is that it has a tendency to shrink your world. And my world is feeling awfully small right now.

You know why they don’t want to release the Epstein files? Because after they get done redacting the president’s name, there were no files left.

Screw the emails. Quit waiting for someone to release the files. The victims have already told us what happened. Believe the victims.

me writing something: wow, this isn't so bad me reading something I write: wow... *trails off with a frown* #amwriting

The only thing we are sure is non-partisan is the Epstein list.

Thinking about bubbles and the one coming up.

Can’t believe people are defending Schumer around here. A leader who can’t keep his caucus in line is no leader at all. At best Schumer is feckless, at worst, complicit.

They didn’t fight. They capitulated. People around the country wanted the fight. They capitulated. People were supporting their communities, prepared for the fight. They capitulated. We are alone. They capitulated.
