Anarchist, leftist, redundancy extraordinaire. Probably not a cat. He/him, but not like in a manly way.
Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit... A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.” - Edward Abbey
No Kings 2.0 Grand Rapids. I’d say considerably more attendees than last time. The march route was just over a mile and folks were still leaving the start as the front returned
I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist
Bit of a brag, but definitely just had a visit from a Great Horned Owl to my yard 😎
Is it presidential power when as the president you don’t have the power to do it? Wouldn’t that be…oh I don’t know, a crime? Or a coup? Fuck you in particular cnn headline writer

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.
Anyone else just hoping to see Maxine Waters throw hands? Just me? Okay…
Maxwell Frost@maxwellfrost.bsky.social · 2y agoThey’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one. shatterzone.substack.com/p/we-failed-...

So liked the old English word for human person was “Mann”, right, with male person being “werman” or “wereman”, and a female person was “wifman”. This etymology is reflected in werewolf and wife. So by that logic, wouldn’t a female werewolf be a…wifwolf? 😎 (Say it out loud 🧑🍳💋)
Watching the ball drop for the first time in years, after watching celebrations around the world….. we are so lame 😒
Thankfully this is such a clear case the SC will unanimously side in favor of equal protection… aw shit.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2y agoThe Supreme Court case tomorrow is fundamentally not about gender affirming care, it's about whether or not trans people have any protections under the 14th amendment. A loss in this case would greenlight a torrent of explicitly discriminatory legislation without much, if any judicial recourse.
In a couple of months I’m going to publish an article titled “So you panic-bought 25lbs of corn flour: ten uses”. Taking submissions in the mean time.

LOVE this. As good a primer on anarchism as you’re likely to find by @margaret.bsky.social
It’s so weird going over to Facebook and instagram these days. The amount of ads and sponsored context is unreal! I’m sure this will happen over here at some point, but for now it is GLORIOUS

“Your ancestors began weaving unfucked social fabrics and burning down fucked-up ones before you were a glimmer in their eye. Descendants to come will be weaving and unfucking and burning still. What can we even weave with only weak threads connecting us?”

I’m about halfway through Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Talents” and just hit this gem. Rather prescient as we find ourselves in an ALL OF THE ABOVE scenario
I can’t imagine escaping unimaginable suffering and struggle, beginning anew and starting to build a life, only to have it uprooted by the ravings of madmen seeking political gain and power. The Statue of Liberty should have been repossessed a long time ago, but all the more so now. Fuck fascism.
