Him: “I just do not understand how these a**h**** don’t give a f*** about all the people they’re gonna hurt!”
Me: “See that field over there? When you ran the dogs through it just now, did you think about all the insects you trampled?”
Him: 😳
Me: “Yeah babe. We’re the bugs. That’s how.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:522ec7s5eppxm6ofydrmpfy2/bafkreigs2kazr5w5tqvlfrtusey2pe72xkand3dcratg4u6gfznpg2r5pq@jpeg)

I’m almost halfway through Surviving Autocracy by @mashagessen.bsky.social , published in 2020. It would far exceed fair use to share every quote-worthy passage, but this one is especially astute and timely. #historyrhymes

Welcome to the folks who followed me from my repost of @mollyjongfast.bsky.social ‘s latest. If you saw “meliorist” in my bio & wondered what that is, here’s a definition. My style is respectful and welcoming of discussion. Looking forward to learning with you.

Thanks 😊 And yes, a meliorist is someone who believes small actions make a difference and incremental progress is worth the effort. Like the kid throwing stranded starfish back into the sea: Can’t save them all, but it makes a difference to the ones you do help. Voting is an example of meliorism.

I was confused because it just shows Blocked for me and then I realized I must have already blocked this one 😂 the two anti-MAGA block lists I found really seem to be helping! (Wasn’t on Twitter last couple years so I’m out of practice)

Btw, kakistocracy is not a new sick burn. It’s a concept that goes back 100s of years. News to me too, if you also didn’t know. I first thought it was some clever Urban Dictionary word. Learning fast.

From Masha Gessen’s book Surviving Autocracy. We’re baffled by their disregard for government until we understand they do quite literally hate it and want to destroy it by putting usefully hostile idiots in charge, so they can then frolic in unfettered tyranny.

Finished. Took it five hours. Redact deleted 11,310 items and left 4. Leaving those 4 old reposts instead of adding a new gray rock. I give Redact 10 of 10.

Tonight’s sunset, about an hour outside of Austin. I love how the planet remains indifferently beautiful.

I’m choosing to keep my Twitter acct so no one can take my handle, but using an app to delete all my activity. Redact appears to be working. After this, I will tweet a photo of a gray rock.
