Twenty years ago Nazi tattoos were bad…

15 years ago … Nazi tattoos still bad

Yesterday… Nazi tattoos still bad

Today … nazi tattoos still bad

There is no period of time where Nazi tattoos are good
Only if it goes "BONG" when you hit someone with it.
That's so freaking adorable!

Let's put some facts down on all that right-wing fear-mongering about trans surgeries:
Current pastel in progress.

I love nocturnes.
Being able to say "these murderous assholes have some good points" requires a certain level of moral lubrication that shouldn't be tolerated...

It's a giant string of red flags.
I feel it too. I'm not capable of much now so it frustrates me.

It's the most infuriating thing to see people, who all stand to suffer from this, fistfighting each other. Every action is a pebble and every pebble brings us closer.

Even symbolic action brings hope. Something we needed.
Add the changing context of current events and culture which can dramatically alter the meaning of a simple things like for example, a frog.

oy...
🤘😮‍💨😅
Some are sharing information, some are fighting misinformation, some are protesting, some are strategizing.

Each of us is trying to fill this hole with pebbles. Shouting about the pebbles we are able to throw accomplishes nothing.

stop shaming each other for doing what we are able to do.
January.

Right after Christmas. I learned the cynicism at a young age from the 'dual' Xmas/birthday gift...

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.
The horoscope for Capricorn is ALWAYS terrible. Doom, gloom, and pain.

F*cking up my obtuse optimism.

🤘😅
That's why I don't read my horoscope...
Is that what I've been doing wrong?

I didn't realize I was supposed to talk to myself...

🤨😅

So, let's go back to the 1990s. "One of Us" was smoking up the charts. And I worked with an ultramontane Catholic whom it offended. "God isn't like 'one of us'." And I looked at him oddly. "My man, the entire premise of Christianity is that God humbled himself to become 'one of us'." 1/2
Both neat and gross...

That's a pretty cool gig.
