One of my “progressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called “progressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

RT @wajali.bsky.social ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Is the Future Socialist?

Even if we could go back to the economic and political arrangements of 1996, it’s not clear that anyone wants to.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 16h

thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

This menu isn’t too bad in the greater scheme of kiddie menus. I don’t remember a restaurant adjacent to the Alpha Beta market but was probably distracted by the horsey ride out front.

When I was a child, back in the 1960s (count it back; I'm not ashamed), my mother would proclaim when my bangs needed a trim, that I looked like a #beetle. In vain, I searched the yard for an insect with long bangs. Later, I learned that I'd misheard her spelling.

They always act shocked like it's never occurred to them but when they ask "How do you do it" isn't that what they're really asking? Right.

So every day the little devil on my shoulder says "kill yourself" and every day I say "nah, I'm good." and we go on like that.

But I wish more ppl understood.

Crying loses it's function. It no longer releases you

Still people always ask "How do you do it" like it's optional? Like there's a method for this

So I've just started telling them, "Well there are only two options. Kill yourself, or keep waking up. So far, I keep waking up. What can you do?"

I think able-bodied people need to believe that you aren't suffering constantly, endlessly in a personal hell, because it's just fucking awful. It's really sad, and they don't know what to do with that information.

Plus they tend to assume sometimes that you're doing better than you really are,

because sometimes you smile or laugh, and you aren't always crying or screaming about the pain you're in

But the thing is crying about pain is kind of a luxury for those who aren't in it 24/7. You still have to eat & talk & try to do whatever it is you're able each day. At some point you can't cry

Any time I try to talk frankly with people about what really goes on in my head as a chronically ill person, they flip out. Hard to blame them.

For the record, no I am not trying to kill myself, but the fact that it crosses my mind multiple times every day just sort of comes with the territory. 🤷‍♀️
