Hi hi hi I’m going buck wild following starter packs this week. Who am I? No one! A random white nonbinary dyke living in southern California, by way of Minneapolis, who mostly reposts. I’m a marketing writer by trade and a horror writer by delusion. Here to learn from smart people 🤓

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

When the pitchforks show up at the gates, I won’t be surprised when they project this clip on the remaining side of the WH

They're pushing so hard for AI because (when hypothetically fully functional) it allows wealthy access to skill while restricting those with skill from accruing wealth. It uses theft of the past to steal the future from humanity and give its riches to the already rich

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

getting this wrapped up in politicians really is freak shit. not healthy at all. they're eminently replaceable people you should be willing to dump the moment they're no longer useful. elected office isn't something owed to them

I'm a cis woman and progesterone saved my life. I am exceedingly fortunate that when I needed it I could obtain it and have it covered by my ACA insurance. it's not like I NEEDED to personally experience it in order to support trans healthcare, but it made me very grateful my state didn't police it
I have some bad news for all you cis women voting and working to ban HRT. You are going to NEED that shit when you hit peri/menopause. All of our struggles for bodily autonomy against a fascist cisheteropatriarchy are connected.

This hits a lot of the notes I've been shouting from the rooftops: the frictionlessness of both producing and consuming slop, and the value of labor as friction that lets us slow down and think. Rather than "unlocking creativity" it's rendering our collective creativity down into a big vat of slop.
Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.
AI’s Invasive Species
The slop is winning.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes
“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

I think I understand the many reasons why people believe it's not worth it to phase out fossil fuels, but I also feel exhausted and vaguely insane living my life knowing that while the world seems normal on the surface, the fossil-fuel economy is, right now, breaking the world forever.

I feel that some of you need regular reminders of how unpopular this man is. And frankly I see him getting even more so as the economy worsens. Again, this doesn't mean that he will give up any power but it does mean that WE HAVE POWER TOO.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.
i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

PAY THEM DUST
Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have

To say

Don’t bait them.

pay them DUST.

Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target .

In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

Why is it that the only hope for class politics in the US for so many people is white guys with racist shit in their past?
Reposted by baby fish mouth 🌈✨
the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

10 months in and we're getting drunk SS members asking local cops if they're Haitian
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
