Are you a dainty baby bunny sipping chamomile tea out of an acorn top in a sun dappled woodland grove, or a giant sentient suit of mithril armor beheading the king with a big ax?

You contain multitudes.

That’s not what “turned into” that’s a natural progression, it’s what Hollywood is & does. It has a crass & mercenary veneer of liberalism which fools only casual observers & those wanting to be fooled. It’s deeply right wing & does its best to disallow & destroy non right wing presences & voices.

Miss you

I have no choice but to persist in this effort, whatever the outcome I’m dedicated to continue for every single bit of my life. What else does the world have to offer me at this point? I might or might not feel the hope, but that’s irrelevant. It must be done.

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 2d

it’s fucking horrifying. Every day as I travel around my city I know I pass near foul assassins, torturers, black sites where the worst people imaginable destroyed heroes & innocent people’s lives and the comfortable heirs of petty thugs who never faced justice. INFURIATING beyond words.

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 2d

ABSOLUTELY!!! You spit on your own grave too & your children’s futures - hiding from the future doesn’t work. We might as well go down fighting if that’s how it goes. I’m not advocating giving up or even hesitating. I’m just mentioning another reason besides not knowing we need to or not knowing how

It’s hard to hope with millions of examples of brilliant organizing leading directly to a mass grave. We see every day in our neighborhoods, thugs with no greater ambition than to torture us for the feds.

When they try to study the past to see how others have resisted, we see a long line, massive numbers of people more knowledgable & organized than us, massacred, assassinated, or tortured to death by agents of the CIA. We know our taxes paid for the murder of good & brave people, our potential allies

He’s just a little gamer kid. Hopefully no one takes his advice about things not related to drawing furries.

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 7d

lol is that really what you got from what I said? I AM an armed minority. I’m not saying disarm, I’m laughing at the idea “it’s easy, just shoot the feds” is plausible & not fucking goofy as hell.
But I guess I’m being silly too, for trying to discuss this with a teen.
Best wishes to you, kiddo.

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 7d

Lowers risk?!? Are you at all familiar with the USA? USA Cops / military / ICE will happily kill your kids. They have zero problem killing entire buildings full of people. They get off on that shit. They’re ghoulish.

They’d keep throwing wave after wave of guys until eveyone was dead. The USA has no problem burning buildings full of people, doing mass murder when upset. It should be legal to defend yourself, but in actual practice they don’t respect any of our rights, not one.

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

I reviewed DEAD MAIL, a frankly astounding little thriller about loneliness, music, analog systems, and the exploitation of Black musicians by their white managers and collaborators.

Thanks 😊

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 8d

They have VERY little humor, it’s super heartwarming to see how loyal they are to their one joke. They heard an older boy say it in 3rd grade & it was true love. Right then knew they’d never stray, never need another quip. They found their word. Pretend to think someone’s gay, incredibly amusing.

I’m the only queer in the office & I LOVE hearing them call each other “gay” in a “funny voice” - who wouldn’t? It’s brilliant & gets funnier every time they say it. Classic humor.

I’d like to bury it & see what grows.

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 8d

Like, I already had a lot of respect for their intellect & integrity, just a high degree of character all around but this puts it over the top. It’s so cute & fun it makes the work hours fly by. It’s true what they say: if you only have a couple of jokes, just keep repeating them. It’s great.

Lee @vaneekara.bsky.social · 8d

Nope. That’s not gonna cut it.

The only solution is communism.

The world’s billionaires now hold more wealth than every country in the world except the U.S. and China—and they'd be even richer if it wasn't for tanking stocks

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg still dominate the billionaire ranks, but their fortunes have taken a hit as S&P 500 losses and boycotts chip away at their wealth.

This system needs to be burned to the ground, and if liberals want to go down with it, so be it. You will not bully people into supporting their own oppression. Genocide is not acceptable. No one is being sacrificed for your comfort. If you try to throw us under the bus, we'll drag you under, too.

Fucking love it when my dipshit straight coworkers “pretend” to be homophobic “as a joke”. It’s comedy gold, so fucking funny, and just really, really clever.
