We have to imagine a world so AWESOME, so JOYFUL, so KIND, so UNOPPRESSED, so UNREPRESSED, & so TRANSFORMATIVE that it will inspire people to openly rise up and fight for it.
"A is AAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!"
"Have a good day!"

There are GOOD days?
Have you ever faced any consequences for your crimes?
Professional [noun]: a person competent or skilled in a particular activity.
This war on gender oddly reminds me of industrial farming.

Capitalism winnows nature down to the most profitable monocultures.

In a way, people are also a crop - harvested for subscriptions, rent, purchases, etc.

By limiting gender to a binary, they get a dependable monoculture to reap from.
Social Media & AI are faint echoes of human interaction & companionship.

If you struggle with socializing, a faint echo can feel like a booming reverberation.

Companies know this & make billions off of our burning desire to connect.

It's not a loneliness epidemic, it's a loneliness harvest.
The "Moe at the bachelor auction" energy he gives is completely off the charts.
Ironically, that notification itself is a real-life manifestation of the "NO SADNESS ALLOWED" sign you drew.
These are the times to think of when, to feel the now, to dream of then.
I think there's a misconception about living life as Jesus did.

Being kind & compassionate is great, but it doesn't reflect his life's work.

A secret third type of clock spin that has you spiraling in a tidally locked orbit around control.
Trees must think we're these odd little critters who fight over which genders are allowed to participate in life and obsess over obtaining imaginary numbers.
I don't recall dealing with Ticketmaster...ever?
A friend usually got 'em & we paid 'em, so today was the 1st time I used 'em.
WHY all the markups (?), up-sells, & "protection" money?
WHY do I need to pay you to protect the tickets you just sold me?
Just give me my fucking tickets, dammit.
I'm Gen X and I have seen a lot of violence & despair in my storied life, but nothing I experienced was as painful as dealing with the Ticketmaster website just now.
If we outlawed media advertising, would that destroy capitalism?
