Oh also: all the oils build up on the road surface without the rains to wash them away. When it does rain, the road becomes slick.

The petrichor stench that permeates that city whenever it does rain is something to behold.

I like to think that guy is somehow connected to the guy that did the “butch jones is gonna kick your ass” video. What a rich tapestry of lore the message boards gave us!

I still think about a volnation post from October 2009 at least once a month. Some guy was crashing out about the black unis and was saying “which one of our traditions is he going to sully next? Maybe they can blast rap music and run out of a big K for Kiffen instead!”

My dad is a red state lib and he’s close to becoming a Maoist in temperament, meanwhile the libs in my city and state government are running to the right on class, business, etc. the REI CEO began his union busting letter with a land acknowledgment.

Having grown up in Tennessee and spent most of my adult life on the west coast: blue state democrats have a lot more in common with republicans than they do with red state democrats.

The social issues of course are what most people think of, but class interests and class solidarity reign supreme.

Damn, I need some new flannels. But I already own so much butch clothing hnnngh

Yay! Enjoy the [redacted bc you’re literally a candidate for public office now]

One day I will make someone a playlist and it will be appreciated. Your beloved(s) are lucky to have you 🧡

The “greatest women’s coach of all time”, Geno auriemma, famously always had his ass chapped because people in women’s basketball dared to say things like “I think women should be celebrated and promoted as head coaches in this sport”. He whined relentlessly about not getting enough praise for years

“wait why does the parking attendant have a boss health bar”

Yeah, I didn’t know her super well (she didn’t really engage with the trans erg there at all, at least not while I was there). She seemed like a sweet lady. Women of that era had to do things to survive that most of us today would consider beyond the pale.

A little inside baseball but they worked together at Meta. Rebecca had some Susan’s place ideas about being trans (she told a bunch of cis people very confidently that she isn’t trans because she has transitioned, I was there)

There’s a nonzero chance he did this to her when she was alive, too.

(I’m riffing I know you’re not suggesting that she is)

Katie Wilson isn’t a communist, she’s a liberal (derogatory).

It would be like if we got together at the transgender convention and said “okay, everyone, clearly our efforts to invade women’s spaces haven’t gone according to plan. people are starting to realize that we are ruining women’s sports. How do we get this pervert movement back on track?”

Also like, I find it so incredibly disturbing that ppl who claim to be fighting antisemitism and speaking for all Jews just casually talk like every antisemitic conspiracy is factual. It’s always like “yes, we control the media, yes, we need to control it better, our propaganda needs work” etc etc

Conventions like this are a really good way to get people to drop the mask, because the entire rest of the day, they’re talking to other ghouls and living in a bubble where they let their guard down. They even go on stage and still feel like they’re behind closed doors, and then they just say shit.

he doesn’t fucking miss folks
