This is why Pride has been and will always be a protest. Our rights will never be a guarantee. We must always be fighting for them.

I can't wait for the next bullshit excuse as to why it's okay to starve millions of people.

Seriously, if you haven't spoken up yet, I'm begging you to grow a brain, a heart, and a spine. "Genocide is wrong" shouldn't be a controversial stance.

Ok in that case I can appreciate being dramatic. Haha We're all allowed to be dramatic. 🤣

MasterFred @mfredster.bsky.social · Jul 26

That's interesting to me. I find that as super kind. The world is pretty shitty right now, and this would lift my spirits a little if I heard it from someone. I think the intent is to be be more direct and personal in showing my appreciation, which I enjoy.

"'Preciate it" was a very common way to say thanks when I was growing up. Why does it make you uncomfortable? But we millennials ditched "you’re welcome" because it was too frequently used sarcastically to the point it ruined the phrase. Maybe Gen Z is just doing similar with "thank you."

You can’t ignore fascism away, though. This isn’t network television. They can make money off the internet a million different ways and they have unrestricted access to the masses, whether we like it or not. It's time to start hitting them back on their own turf.

If you support trans people but not Palestinians, you’ve misunderstood the fight. Queer & Palestinian liberation are both about tearing down the same colonial systems that criminalize existence, surveil bodies, and justify genocide of both in the name of order. These are not separate struggles.

And even the wider perspective lens is that of galactic history itself. It's not "this event is happening." It's "this is the weight of the event on the entire galaxy as history itself is changing." Play-by-play books are so boring.

MasterFred @mfredster.bsky.social · Jul 13

This is also what makes ROTS my favorite SW novel. You really get into the perspectives of each of the main cast. You are watching the fall of the Republic. Your heart is breaking with Padmé's. You’re angry and scared with Anakin. You feel betrayed like Obi-Wan. It's so much more dramatic.

If your first response to the tragedy in Texas is anything other than, "How can I help," then fuck you and your fake solidarity. You're the enemy of progressive and leftist causes. Go find your humanity and then come back.

That being said, they did remove the curbs in the Hub at Disneyland for the very reason of making it more accessible. I think the sidewalks are just too narrow on Main Street, so the slope down to the street would be too steep for safe walking.
