Someone I personally know once said: “Can you truly say you’ve lived in a place if you can’t speak the native language of that place?”

Do you agree with them?

It is fascism.
At a journalism event I asked about using the word so journalism can cover and explain it. I was told that we can't call fascists fascists because it would put off the fascists.
This is fascism. Those who refuse to identify it are not doing journalism.

A large white magnolia flower in full bloom with creamy white petals surrounding a prominent pale yellow center cone filled with stamens. The flower is set against glossy dark green magnolia leaves and is photographed in natural daylight.

A sunlight mossy stump in a dark forest.

A 3 leaf plant growing on top of an old moss covered stump in the middle of a forest.

@minego @pathfinder @dave @hellomiakoda I gave this an awful lot of thought over the years. Maybe this is Buddhism finally seeping into my skull, but I’m starting to feel it’s far easier if I stop classifying people as “friend” or “acquaintance,” etc and just see them all as fellow primates. Maybe I’m tired of all the complications that compartmentalizing people brings…I dunnow what I’m talking about. Ignore me. 😅🙏

@pathfinder
@dave @hellomiakoda Looking back at my life I realize that at almost every point I had one actual good friend.

I just don't have the energy for more, and that person has always been someone I don't have to mask around.

There have often been people I'm friendly with, but only actually see because of the situation (school, work, neighborhood, etc) but never more than one actual good friend at a time.

Just a heads up: I’ll be moving this account on over to Beige.party. Thank you for your ongoing patronage!

A smiling protester holds a large illustrated sign at a public demonstration in a city square surrounded by tall buildings. The sign features a black-and-white drawing of a man in a suit and hat pointing outward, with bold text that reads: “THEY BLAME IMMIGRANTS SO YOU WON’T BLAME BILLIONAIRES.” The style of the sign resembles vintage political posters. A crowd of fellow demonstrators is visible behind metal barricades in the background.

@servelan I’m surprised they’re even bothering with a recall.

"Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous—
both are detestable to the LORD."

-Proverbs 17:15
