Well it's a give and take I suppose. If you get treated equally in one way, you'll have to accept it even when it doesn't benefit or even hinders you.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Me, in my 20s: I like Pink. I enjoy her music.
Everyone: ew fuck you that's middle aged mom music
Me, now: I still fucking enjoy her music, fuck you.

I mean she's objectively correct about the tax thing but I do know people who had natural breasts bigger than that. They wanted them reduced though, due to back pain. So she does not have the biggest breasts even in the country.

I need you to understand that if you knock once and get no response (YES, even if you KNOW someone is in there) knocking again is fucking insane behavior. Antisocial bullshit. If they were going to answer, they'd have done so the first time.

The street doesn't need to look pristine, it just needs to function as a street.

Me, age 25: *changes my entire legal name to something completely different*
People now that I'm in my 30s: oh are you related to the Lastname's in *other city*?
Me: I'm not related to anyone with this last name actually.
People: ... What?

Right now you will feel the need to cling to what you have to comfort yourself. Resist this urge, it will only harm you.

Y'all have not learned from the "Oh trump is just a meme candidate" shit because that's literally the plausible deniability. She's doing the same fucking shit. WAKE TF UP.

Follow the money means questioning random tiktokers trying to call out hank green for his objectively correct observation that TSwift has nazi dog whistles in her merch and claim it's somehow because he is white that he doesn't understand racism. Like my dude he's CORRECT.

If being against a guy with a Nazi tattoo makes me a purist I guess I'm an anti-Nazi purist. If you think that makes me an anti-Nazi single issue voter, you're wrong, but also it's a pretty good single issue.

There is more than a year. Go get another real progressive who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo.

Tell them you care about them and want to invest in their well being and know how hard this might be for them.
Even if all you can offer is a small amount, it will help keep them from starving.

Thankfully for me, even if the government shutdown continues into November, I have nearly 3 gallons of soup I can fall back on and my energy bill I will owe is lower than average.
However, many will not be as lucky. If you have a friend who is poor, consider offering assistance in November.

Hey, uh anyone know what material the white house is made of? For totally not scamming MAGA dipshits reasons

HeathcliffNull @heathcliffnull.bsky.social · 1d

1/2 I'm surprised he isn't selling fragments of it like the Berlin Wall.

"Now you can own an official piece of the Whitehouse. An opportunity hasn't come around like this since 2014. But just a crumb or a whole wall depending on how much you love America.
