Hey so I'm just a random human living in a super quiet corner of Bluesky, but here's my sincere take on this past week/decade and how I think I'm gonna survive the long dark tunnel we're currently staring down. Hopefully this thread resonates with some of you!

Ms Staceroo if you're nasty @staceroo.bsky.social · Nov 10

So I've really enjoyed the first few days of being on this platform. Been reflecting a lot about *gestures vaguely at all the things*.

One of the things I hate about social media today is that it killed what I loved about social media before.

This work is hope, strength, community...this is resistance! Don't give up, friends ❤️

Efficiencies? My mom just waited 3 days (2 of them in the ER) for surgery to repair her shattered leg. The nurses had to watch her lying there & couldn't even feed her because they didn't know when it might be her turn.

Ontarians need to wake up. Doug Ford is destroying all of our public services.

Dr Doug Ford tells hospitals to balance budgets with 'efficiencies' over the next 3 years, even as ON has lowest per capita spending on hospitals and on healthcare.

Find efficiencies? My mom just waited 3 days (2 of them on a stretcher in the ER) for surgery to repair her shattered leg. The poor nurses had to watch her lying there and couldn't even give her food because they didn't know when it might be her turn.

Ontarians need to wake the fuck up.

I didn't know anything about her before this morning so I'm not going to suggest she should or shouldn't have that award...just that nothing is as simple as it seems, and that's partly because citizens in the West are largely ignorant to the politics of the rest of the world (it's def true for me)

Um

America operates *hundreds* of military bases on foreign soil

She literally thanked him and dedicated the prize to him. Come on, now.

Twitter post of María Corina Machado. It reads:

"This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United states, the peoples of Latin america, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to president Trump for his decisive support of our cause!"

I mean in one sense, they're sticking it to him because she's a Hispanic woman opposing the socialist authoritarian that they also don't like, so the cognitive dissonance is probably pretty painful.

Honestly I'm just relieved that he didn't win...which is a wild and depressing statement in itself.

Ms Staceroo if you're nasty @staceroo.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve the prize or that Maduro isn't an authoritarian. But if you spend some time reading about her you'll find she's not exactly an enemy of the US administration lol

Friends before you go posting about the Nobel committee sticking it to Trump, just take a beat & read up on the winner first. There are weird gotcha posts flying across my feed that sound really silly.

*This post is not a commentary on Venezuelan politics.

**I too am glad he didn't get the prize

Only...she calls Trump a visionary and explicitly said she supports the USA blowing up their "drug dealing" boats. It's really not the swish everyone wants it to be.

Ms Staceroo if you're nasty @staceroo.bsky.social · 1d

I mean, she's friendly with the Trump regime and welcomes their help to "fight the drug cartels" aka force regime change. She calls Trump a visionary. I'm not sure they're really sticking it to him so much as finding someone he can't really be all that mad about.

Ms Staceroo if you're nasty @staceroo.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah I didn't know who she was and read up on her and was really grateful that I think before I post, lol. Lots of people are high on their premature gotchas right now.

It's like they didn't want to give it to Trump so they picked someone that he can probably get behind? Lol k

Haha beat me to it 🤝

Also if you bothered to listen to what he says, you'd know that he explicitly states that he's not equating Stalin and Miller's political views. He's talking about commonalities in dictatorial form, which is practiced by authoritarians of all political stripes.

Can't decide if I want to attack this nonsense from the correlation=/= causation angle, the study design angle, or the research ethics angle.

Decisions, decisions...

Thanks. I'm also sorry for her, and also angry.

I also want to say that the nurses are angels and I know they're doing their level best to help. None of my ire is directed at them. I know exactly who's to blame for this.

My elderly mom is currently in the hospital, waiting for surgery to repair 2 broken bones in her leg. She's been there 2 days. She can't walk. They can't feed her while she waits, so he's barely eaten *anything* in 48 hours. She has yet to see the doctor.

Doug Ford's Ontario, everyone.

Thank you for sharing - your openness really moved me. Complicated relationships can teach us so much, and complicated grief is hard to understand sometimes. I know this myself. Wishing you peace as you move through it. ❤️

We don't know one another but I somehow saw the posts about your grandma and I wanted to say that I'm very sorry for your loss. It sounds like she was a formidable lady and that you loved her a lot. I hope she will always be with you when you need her. Take care of yourself.

If you’re apprehensive that what you say or do now could come to haunt you in a more authoritarian environment in the future then this is your absolute cue that you absolutely must say or do something now.

Lol also...he is an American citizen. But I guess that fact gets in the way of his racism, so

My mom used to sing this to me when she washed my hair as a little kid

I was always somewhat concerned that there was a small man living in my hair lol

Thanks for the moment of nostalgia!
