First Millennials realized we couldn't afford a single family home.
Then we realized we def couldn't afford kids.
Then a bunch of us realized how incredibly queer and neurodivergent we are.
Then we realized if we started practicing #polyamory we could pool our income, rent a house, all sleep with each other, and maybe - JUST MAYBE have a stable polycule that could manage to actually run a regular DnD campaign.

watching an old Twilight zone episode where a man becomes obsessed with a devil machine coin fortune teller.  the machine gives generic answers, but he becomes paralyzed, unable to make a decision without consulting it. 

anyway, some of these episodes are a bit farfetched. 

(there is an image of a black and white fortune telling devil on the left, and a image of chat GPT on a cell phone to the right)

Next time you see a bunch of U-Haul Nazis:

- Have a local person call 9-1-1. Not the police line. 911. And only if you're local. You have to be in the jurisdiction for this to work.

- Report a crime in progress. "I'm watching a dozen or so masked armed men pile into the back of a moving van without seatbelts. I know this to be a crime and I feel unsafe."

- A cop will be dispatched to the scene to conduct an investigation. Nobody will go to jail over this. This is at best a misdemeanor.

- However the cops will still have to pile everybody out of the vehicle and ID them to issue seatbelt violations. That means body cam footage.

- Body cam footage that can be FOIA requested by antifascist investigators. That means drivers license photos, names, and addresses of Nazis.

- That means Nazis who lose their job, get kicked out of their mom's basement, etc. Many of these sick fucks only do what they do because they're operating under the assumption of anonymity. Take that assumption away.

@Susan_calvin That is correct. A peaceful action group who supported Palestinian rights, and highlighted military shipments from the UK to Israel has been proscribed. It is illegal to promote that group or support it. The website has been closed and the website information moved out of the UK’s jurisdiction. Not mentioned on that site but now #WeAreAllYvetteCooper and #YvetteCooper name should be next for proscription, as the minister who insisted on this proscription. It flies in the face of everything in the anti-terrorism regulations to proscribe a non-violent group. More than twenty people including a priest Revd Sue Parfitt (86 y o) were arrested for silently gathering in London. They had posters nearby with the name of the group on them. Could be sentenced to up to 14 years in jail. 🤬

If you are planning to be arrested for protest's sake, then have a plan and support, make it intentional and public, don't just get randomly disappeared forever at 4am for no good fucking reason because you got baited into posting threats like a fool. This shouldn't be controversial.

Yes the Florida situation is fucking horrifying but the exact thing I'm struggling with today is how they rolled this out - like it was a funny viral marketing campaign. And not in an inside joke sort of way. They did it in a way that made it seem like everyone is in on it. And you know something? They were kind of right.

MAGA fascists were immediately hashtagging Alligator Alcatraz, and selling hats and tshirts, pulling in Mexican food trucks to eat tacos and elotes in front of the death camp for Latinos, and sharing memes about it with each other.

Like ha ha ha isn't this funny everybody.

These sinister motherfucking sociopaths were all like "ha ha isn't this death camp funny". All together. All of them. Everywhere.

We never deserved America if this is what we are as a people. Burn the whole fucking thing down.

It's maddening that there is a local wildfire with level 2 evacuation notices and the responding fire department is posting the updates on Facebook where you can't see them without being logged in. I hate the tech industry so much.

I very much want as many vulnerable people as possible to live. If you have to lie, hide, run, or anything that isn't throwing yourself onto a grenade, do it.

You monied people with all the family and homes and shit, you can sort this out on your own, right? Since you seem to be able to tell so many other people what they should or should not do, I am confident you will do great and won't "let them win".

You know, except for the fact that you are the reason they are already winning.

"Widely known signals can be useful for solidarity, and that’s what those of us already living in relative safety are used to signaling. They’re useless for creating actual safety under oppression, and that’s what we’re going to need moving forward." - stilldrinking.org/w-e-l-p

Just read a thread about someone who felt they needed to take their pride flag down because they didn't feel safe enough where they lived. And then some fucking assholes were like "that's what they want, you are letting them win!!"

The unhinged privilege of these fuckers.

Keep yourself safe. If you do not have the safety/resources to outwardly signal, DON'T DO IT. Not when you are in actual danger. The time for flags and tshirts and pins and rainbow hair is long past.

"People getting divorced are setting up gift registries." You mean mutual aid? That's what it is, it's mutual aid. As are wedding registries and baby registries. Those two just glamourized/more acceptable because people are being rewarded for toeing the line of gender roles. Asking for help getting basic items when your life is being overhauled and you're strapped for resources is mutual aid, and it's fine.

Jeremy Corbyn - an MP for 42 years - has been on BBC Question Time 5 times (twice on 'Leaders Specials').

Nigel Farage - an MP for less than a year - has been on 38 times.

Zarah Sultana - an MP for 6 years - has never been on.

Tell me again how BBC Question Time is fair and impartial.

Occasionally you find a person who's like "I don't agree with either extreme, I want to exist somewhere in the middle" and for some reason, those are the EXACT people who get really angry when you try to say the same thing about gender
