can’t possibly imagine what he’s talking about. all those dems gave up was everything in return for nothing at all

it’s nuts to me, given how inbred she was, that Cleopatra is widely regarded as the cleverest and wisest person in the region during her time

frankly surprised it took him 10 months

you can just… not post if you don’t know what’s going on. no one will think less of you

this is an example of a father/son covalent bond. like many americans i experience more of a father/son ionic bond

the great american gaslight is fundamentally that the exploitation we enact against everyone makes us special and immune to exploitation. our country is founded not just on the genocides committed by the american aristocracy, but on the genocides that brought the working masses here. you’ve probably heard it from an immigrant here at some point. “people here don’t know how good they have it.”

this. this right here is the core of how our country has operated all this time as a third world country with a gucci belt. something interesting is happening right now though. the president has sold the gucci belt. those immigrants who have been saying “people here don’t know how good they have it” are seeing what people who have been here longer have been saying: that our police state keeps no one safe.

in many ways, what i want most is to build the America my Ukrainian coworker thought she was moving to in 2014, the one she’s slowly come to see contributes to the horrors of the world at large she wanted to escape from, and has quickly come to see as being a new implementation of the USSR. the America i knew never existed, and the one she’s so sad to have lost.

but ultimately, i think that would be at best a stepping stone. the real thing to reach for is a world with no divisions and no hierarchy. a world where all are cared for out of love rather than economic incentive. we live in a world of horrors. i think often of how vampires control this country. i am surrounded by zombies. the only people running for office to oppose the vampires are werewolves, funded by the exact same ghouls who fund the vampires

“you know how our region was exploited to the absolute brink of destruction and our grandparents lived in conditions so horrifically bad that the rest of the world considered them slaves? we should get back to that”

appalachian here: blame the petrostate for brainwashing my brothers in west virginia that licking boot is the way forward

if we’re hungry we’re less capable of revonution is the thinking

it’s a process. it begins when you begin it. it will be hard at first because your depression era atrophies these muscles. i recommend the personal trainer of a therapist to get you started.

i also recommend keeping a journal to log your journey. journals are wonderful places to bring forward the thoughts you didn’t know you were processing.

the most important thing to know is that everyone is capable and deserving of love. encouraging the human and humane parts of yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself

these are not mutually exclusive

explain how

i love toronto fans. second best fanbase in the majors (biased source, pfp is a nats hat)

they weren’t the best years of your life then. life is unique to each of us. not all of us peak at the same time. you cannot waste the best years of your life because in your best years you will be busy enjoying your life.

take it from someone who almost committed suicide in his early 20s. don’t lament your depression era. celebrate getting healthy and meeting new people

Wait Kotatsu is shut down? Shit…

ICE doesn’t give a shit. they’ve detained US citizens. they’ve teargassed children. they’ve killed detainees. their presence in the city doesn’t have anything to do with Chicago extorting the rest of the state. it has everything to do with the republicans want to punish blue strongholds like Maryland, Illinois, and California for voting for not republicans

i would argue afrofuturism is inherently solarpunk

it seems like they’re a troll account. block and move on with your life

there’s a lot of morons who think staying on twitter while being leftish is an act of defiance and not providing the nazi bot farm the engagement it needs to perpetuate its evil. they make false equivalency comparisons saying things like leaving twitter is like fleeing a country, abandoning the people without the resources to flee. the problem with that argument is EVERYONE has the resources to leave twitter. no one is trapped on twitter, forced to stay (though the department of homeland security is surely trying by demanding all immigrants show their major social media platform posting history)

he at no point had it. he’s been a weird piece of shit no one should have listened to since he hit the scene in the 90s. we just all wake up to the truth at different moments
