AuDHD, NB. He/they, ish. Mostly here to heckle my wife. Rock nerd. Book nerd. Nerd nerd. Climbs trees for fun & money. ~~ BIPOC lives matter. Trans lives matter. Disabled lives matter. Sex work is work. Wear masks, please. Esp at protests & Pride. 🔞

Thinking about how millennials would probably unironically love the shit machine that makes shit, and probably spend money on it just because it's funny, if they just acknowledged that it's shit and left it there without all the plagiarism or data centers.

Was just presented with the thought experiment "what franchise would you bar a person from?" and without skipping a beat or waiting for the rest of the context I said Nestlé. Feeling very proud that I immediately landed on what is simultaneously the most evil *and* the most ethical answer possible.

if for no other reason, living as well as one can is the best revenge & taking time for rest or joy is a part of resistance as it makes it harder for the bastards to grind you down i’ve worked with patients that fuel their recovery with spite & i’m here for it

I CAN DO ALL
THINGS THROUGH
SPITE WHICH
STRENGTHENS ME

people still want to act like nihilism is cool but it is actually bullshit compliance. humans are not going away. we get to decide if future generations suffer or if they live free. hope is punk as fuck. our oppressors want us to believe we have no power and nothing is possible. it’s not true.

"Red states" don't exist. Politically disenfranchised and voter suppressed states exist. It is not coincidental that these states have enormous Black, Latino, and impoverished populations. And yes, this does make it racist to argue that "red states deserve what they get".
