you can get away with writing run on sentences if you have swag and are pure of heart

my story “Pure Pursuit” is out in issue 3 of the Abraxas Review 🤗 it’s a story about airplanes and fighter pilots and it’s not a metaphor for anything at all

the year is 2027. whenever any crime is committed, the government checks if the perpetrator is three degrees of separation from any trans person, and if so, the defendant and the trans individual are immediately executed and their bodies are sacrificially burned in offering to charlie kirk

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't know how many died

W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that

W: How can you be that ignorant?

it is deeply mentally and spiritually fracturing to be very aware that the global ruling class is, for all intents and purposes, suicidal (and by extension homicidal) while you, an ordinary human being, want to perpetuate life.

small business tyrants and other petit bourgeois fascists watching trump destroy the economy for all but the largest corporations who can bribe their way out of tariffs

the show isn’t that old but it also feels completely alien to the vision of masculinity, or even of war itself promulgated by pete hegseth et al. the wounded masculinity of fascism has allowed the sobels of the nation to get their way

zappy @zappy.bsky.social · Aug 11

i’m taken by a reoccurring image throughout the show of a wounded soldier cradled in the lap of one of his fellows, pieta like, as the uninjured one softly reassures the other that they’ll be alright and that the wound isn’t that bad, no matter the severity. this happens at least once an ep.

also, all the enlisted men treat each other with a lot of tenderness. there is obviously some ribbing and at times easy company can be downright cruel to men they view as disappointing the group, but also they really seem to care about members of the “tribe”

zappy @zappy.bsky.social · Aug 11

despite being a show about war and featuring a lot of battle scenes, outright aggression is very rarely shown to be a positive trait, even towards the enemy. in general the show portrays aggression as somewhat of corrosive to the warfighting unit

zappy @zappy.bsky.social · Aug 11

specifically all the men who are promoted as being the best leaders (and therefore the best men) are ones who are the most stoic and non-brooding. the most hated character in the show is capt. sobel, who constantly yells and is obsessed with making easy company into peak physical specimens

zappy @zappy.bsky.social · Aug 11

i’ve been watching band of brothers again and i find it really interesting how different the idealized form of masculinity that the show presents is from the show-boaty peacocking promoted by modern rwers and manosphere types today

one of the greatest humiliations of rule by these fascists is that, despite having total and complete control over the entire system of american government, the only thing they know how to do is ask for the manager because they're too stupid to understand that they *are the manager*

Canada's National Observer @nationalobserver.com · Aug 6

"If Canada can't get these wildfires under control, they need to face real consequences," said Wisconsin state Rep. Calvin Callahan in a news release Wednesday. "We won't sit back while our air becomes a health hazard."

More Republican lawmakers demand legal action over Canadian wildfire smoke

The Republican lawmakers called for an investigation of Canada's wildfire management practices and for potential remedies under international law, saying Canada must face "real consequences."

really surprised that the brilliant and practical centrist plan of giving 1 million dollars to every police officer in overtime candy crush hours didn't actually solve any of the city's problems
