Oh that's a nice thought
Goddammit
It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
For being completely unimportant these goofballs really can’t shut the fuck up about us
Trump’s treatment of Appalachia’s coal miners exemplifies his approach to labor in general: Kneecap unions whenever possible, prop up industry profits at all costs, and if a few workers die in the process, pretend it never happened. inthesetimes.com/article/trum...
Oh yeah you know what I was comparing the wrong railings, I feel a little silly
Fed the kids. Preschooler is in bed, toddler is nursing down. Is he dead
Unpacked. Is he dead
“Blueskyism” Rent free lmao
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
I love this
That's what I'll do with our outside lantern but I always try to do a little inside candled lantern action for vibes. Do you just do the outside of the pumpkin with the Vaseline?
Wouldn't that be a bit of a fire hazard with candles
And yes I will do my second annual spooky decor AMA when the time comes, start thinking of your questions now
Yeah my earnest PSA as a dedicated autumn decor person is, you have to pace yourself. Equinox is the spooky roll-out but you have to go week by week on Halloween stuff. Especially produce
I prefer evidence-based reality but if people are gonna lose their minds, they might as well lose them in a direction that directly harms the strength projection abilities of the fascist strongman
I am okay with this I will be even more okay with it if and when QAnon jumps on that bandwagon
Wait the one in the cart that turned out to be from a week ago lol
Before anyone thinks I'm shortchanging spooky season, let me be clear: autumn decor is the base layer for spooky season You gotta bake the pumpkin cake before you put on the skull icing
Autumn decor season starts now, spooky season starts Sept 22, it's gourd time lfg
The one where it looks like he's being propped up? I've seen it but want to know the source
Yup same
Have any courtiers besides Parnas given us promising palace rumors yet
(I know I know) but actually asking, has there been any proof of life yet
Just pulled in. Is he dead
Some of you have never been the direct offspring of my parents and it shows
Oh spoken like someone who's never tried to take the last scoop of mac and cheese at my parents' house
This is why I found it so funny the ivys and snob schools rolled over so fast and got double fucked for doing it. These are the same people getting duped putting 50 grand in a shoebox. Rich and priveleged Americans are the easiest people to scam and bully because they've never deal with it before.
absolutely loving the idea of the woke cracker barrel tip line
I am always suspicious of September Labor Day, a pretender to the May Day throne But happy Labor Day none the less
Happy Labor Day #WorkersDeserve #SolidaritySeason #WorkersOverBillionaires
Just do not want to miss the street party
Ok back in Philly in 2 hours, then I'm ready for Mad King Death news to break
Either he's not walking/moving normally, or he's disfigured in some way. At a minimum.
It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.
Oh no
You are NOT
It will change a whole fucking lot when it happens, because the main power this administration has been wielding is despair and demoralization, the party in the streets alone will mark a significant fucking watershed.
Or a medical procedure that is taking longer to heal from than expected.
Love and solidarity, friend
I need a feed specifically of reasonable-sounding people doubling down on Trump death rumors
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
I am working the vibrations, meghan
god just let us have this
So if I understand correctly.Bluesky has the guy either stroked out or planning an invasion of Venezuela
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
[Giuliani's final breath] Tell my family I loved...9/11
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
I've said it before and I'll say it again: when he finally does go, they'll try to Weekend At Bernie's him with AI but blow it by giving him six fingers or something
Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.
deeply infuriating to see the extent to which they are doing the opposite of the successful authoritarian consolidation playbook and having remarkable success anyway
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
A lot of the disappointments of my youth are about adult cowardice, too, but I didn't know enough to always clock it as such back then
My most enduring disappointment in adulthood is the cowardice of most adults
I wonder if it's the car he was supposed to sell to pay damages to election workers, but illegally kept
I mean I genuinely love getting to be home with kids, and I have a partner who will make sure we find ways for me to get (poorly paid) writing done. So it's not a tragic situation. But it is our economic reality.
Idk if anyone's tracking it but it's sure as shit my situation
Which is why it is ABSOLUTELY PREDICTABLE that authoritarian patriarchy is going to spend a lot of its coming energy and efforts violently forcing women back into that role. In practical terms: imprisonment for abortion, birth control bans, marital rape legalization, increased obstacles to divorce
Watch for the repeal of marital rape laws.
And then people wonder why “the left should be concerned with getting men laid” is an argument that flops like a deep sea fish brought to the surface.
I had this initial negative reaction to the term “sexual labor” as applied to loving relationships…and then remembered that these men are distinctly NOT talking about mutually fulfilling sexual relationships, they are talking, over and over again, about sex as a form of labor they are owed.
We fought a war so I wouldn't have to know this
“I shouldn’t have to take care of myself or do the labor of an autonomous adult because that’s what women are for and if they reject me they’re evil”
These people in 1933: "don't be so single issue about Jewish rights"
Me when my wife sees the browser history
So telling how many people hear organizers talk about the need for opposition unity and respond by saying "yes THANK YOU I've been TELLING people we need to forcibly splinter trans folks out of our coalition"
I say this as someone AWASH in unpaid, informal feminized labor duties right now. AND as someone who spent 10 years as a labor organizer, with 8 of those years spent coordinating a coalition of both industrial and knowledge work unions.
If you read that analysis as cheap psychoanalysis rather than a read of material conditions, then YOUR analysis has an informal feminized labor-sized hole in it. Which is not a small gap.
You don't NEED Freud to understand this. These guys thought they were entitled to a labor continuity from mother to wife: warm meals, laundry, housekeeping, emotional soothing on demand when they feel dysregulated. They also expect a sexual labor bonus on top of that as a reward for adulthood.
Listen, Freud would for sure have a field day with the men who bought into fascism because they wanted sex mommies, but what I am offering is a LABOR critique, not psychoanalysis. These men want a return to receipt of unpaid feminine domestic/emotional labor PAIRED with sexual labor.
Someone had to say it
"Galoshes" also isn't a word. That's a Paddington Bear psy-op
Yeah I'm not trying to shame you or anything (which is why I opened with "friend," it wasn't sarcastic). I just think that it's worth interrogating how sometimes the traits we ascribe to masculinity/manhood are really more about adulthood generally. bsky.app/profile/jaso...
Nope I think I'm pretty clear-eyed about that
Nope not a word. That is my final judgment
Not a very long path from "Why wouldn't you want the regime to deploy federal troops in your city when it reduces carjackings?" to "Why would you be opposed to the erection of internment camps for deviants when it reduces crime?" And a good chunk of mainstream media will just follow along.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Plimsoil is not a real word, you could not pay me to believe that plimsoil is a real word
I could be wrong but I would guess that @courtneymilan.com would disagree with your characterization of that post
Oh no it's on point, thank you
I'll see myself out
Well technically it was more about loaves than rolls
A concrete example of this in US social discourse is the constant association (by pols & pundits alike) to discuss national macroeconomic policy in terms meant for personal home budgeting. The two are not alike in the slightest, but it helps drive the notion of govt as a nuclear family unit.
Friend, I think you have confused the notion of "masculinity" with the concept of "maturity"
No sorry does not fit my theory
And the bargain offered to men is, if you can be a good "child" at a macro level (read: totally submissive to a violent and abusive authoritarian Daddy), then YOU get to be a Daddy (read: absolute authority totally entitled to sex, respect, and unpaid feminine labor) within your family.
The nuclear family is a modern invention grounded in modern patriarchal and capitalist power structure, but that doesn't stop fascists from pretending it's the "natural" power model and social structure that should be copied at every level of society.
And then the flip side of that is, the Jews also schemed to put fluoride in your water and girl hormones in your milk and girl feelings talk in your schools so you won't grow up to achieve your true destiny as a big violent daddy.
And it isn't just incel thinking, by the way. "White genocide" and replacement theory" and 14 words stuff all boils down to, "the Jews secretly schemed to breed white women with Black men to destroy White Greatness, and that is why it s so hard to find a sex mommy tradwife these days"
Daddy Trump will beat down woke and return us to a segregated past where Black men can't "steal" the good jobs from you and use them attract the white woman who would rightfully be YOUR sex mommy.
Daddy Trump will violently eliminate those nasty queers and feminists who would turn your would-be sex mommy into a man or turn her gay against you or make it harder to keep her pregnant/barefoot (by keeping abortion legal, and jobs/education available to her)
Trumpian fascism hinges on promising men a path to re-establishing that imagined "traditional" order. Daddy Trump will get rid of the job-stealing immigrants and foreign trade so you can get a manly, family-sustaining factory job and attract yourself a woman to mommy you and sexually service you.
