  Here's the lesson folks will have to learn forever and ever I suppose: you can't coalition build with bigots. There will never be enough bigots and there will always be too many scapegoats. You certainly will never build a coalition by sacrificing scapegoats after scapegoats after scapegoats If there's a non-fascist political future in the US and the world, the coalition will include trans people, disabled people, people against the genocides and wars happening now, migrants, the...

  requiring id to get online when governments are moving more and more to needing to be online to get id seems odd.

  I think I'm also gonna pretend today is Saturday. It *feels* like a Saturday to me. Maybe we can Manifest Saturday.

  Politely disagree: extreme wealth maybe doesn't *make* one a fascist, but only fascists hold onto their extreme wealth while others starve.

  Saw a video about how climate change "presents an opportunity to archeologists" because all the droughts and stuff are revealing heretofor unknown ancient structures and I *hate* the framing! We will be too dead from climate change to take advantage of any "opportunities".

  I....don't want to alarm anyone but I might go to the Pride dance and stand awkwardly for an hour just to see if I still hate dances*. I haven't been to any in 10 or more years, I don't think. How did I decide to do this with my social anxiety? Why, I am using an age-old trick called "when I want to leave, I can just do that". I'll post when i get back to let you know if I still hate dances*. *I could still hate dances generally but have fun at this particular dance,...

  Good morning, today I will hobble around like a marionette with tangled strings because I moved around a lot playing dodgeball last night and now all the parts of my feet, legs, back, and shoulders that I never use are angry at me for being used so much.

  The great thing about "telling it straight down the middle" is one side can tell bigger and bigger lies and you just go with it forever.

  I forget what movie it was, but when rumours came out that Jared Leto's "method acting" was a huge disruption for everyone on set I decided he was trash. I kinda think that folks who act like dicks and invent elaborate excuses for why they "had to" act like dicks are dicks.

  If the billionaires do not understand the value of books, that is something we can use against them, somehow.

  Look, I write letters to politicians (who I didn't vote for, btw, i voted for a communist this last time I think. i find that more fun that telling strangers I think voting doesn't matter even if it's just as "effective") for a few reasons. NOT because I have a serious expectation they will derail their whole political career just to save the planet (like, who expects that? This isn't a hollywood movie and only arnold was ever an action hero AND a (cruel) politician, so...

  If Hunter Biden reads this: hey cool theory about how gays' internalized homophobia makes them ruin the country. What's the straight oligarchs (there's a lot more of those than the gays, if you check) excuse?

  Canada and USA pointing fingers at each other for climate crimes is actually hilarious (unless you live on the planet)

  JK Rowling amplifies nazis, hangs out with nazis, gives money to nazi causes, spreads misinformation about the nazis, is implicated in the nazi-influenced epstein files, and directly harms the sort of people nazis directly harm But calling her a nazi is handing "gifts to our enemies". *eyeroll so hard the earth tilts*

  Like, if you think "there are already so many rapists in government, what's one more" it is ABSOLUTELY time for you to put your electoralism on the shelf for a little while and join a direct action or mutual aid group and forget about politics for a while.

  Always, always, always pay attention to what white supremacists get away with at their protests that anti-Black violence protestors, Indigenous protestors, disability rights protestors, queer protestors can't even dream of or get 100 year sentences in prison.

  Today for no reason in particular I hope for all oppressed peoples to be liberated, for old monuments of power to crumble, and for gardens and wilderness of every kind to thrive in the ruins.

  I'm dipping into Carney's "energy" announcement and FUCK YOU Mark Carney. His calm voice explaining that yeah, Canada will emit more emissions, but cutting emissions just "isn;t sustainable". FUCK. YOU. MARK. CARNEY.

  Letter to Liberal MP Mike Kelloway: Dear Mike Kelloway, "Dismay" is not a strong enough word to describe my feelings at Mark Carney's announcement that Canada will INCREASE our carbon emissions in the next few years. I called him murderous in an email before, and increasing Canada's emissions is *murderous*. If Mark Carney doesn't understand it, maybe *you* do, as someone who needs a livable climate: we CANNOT continue to be the climate villains. It is despicable. Reg...

  I'd wanna storm any media place that shows photos of happy beach-goers toasting their champaign over headlines of more than 1000 dead from the heat-waves, honestly. But I know in the heat it's hard to get worked up.

  All of my gripes about society are because I was once a gullible nerd who believed all the stuff I was told about sharing and helping others and not doing harm and keeping each other safe and cared for.

  Basically being on time for me involves constructing an elaborate series of mental gymnastics to occupy me between now and the thing I have to be on time for so, like a marble in a rube-goldberg machine, I roll into my little pocket to start the lever as if it was inevitable when really I just started the sequence running last week.
