"Monkey Man," dang… glad I was told to watch that one. I did go in (mostly) blind, looked up just enough to establish whether the genre fit tonight's mood

undoubtedly earlier signs, but it was undeniable by high school and "The Scarlet Pimpernel"

lots of personal story wrapped up in that production, but to wit: yes I very much did want to be in the play whose heroes were queer-coded swashbucklers

("wasn't the queer-coding a decept—" shh, only kinda)
how did you know you were a lil fruity ??

Amor: in the end, the woman turns into a tree
Amor: look around you
Amor: there are many things to see
Amor: some you'd say
Amor: could never be…

Dan mentions that these broader traditions about the apostles are rejected by almost all Christians, but not that it's because they're full of talking animals, flying dudes, cannibals, and so on

If you'd like to know more about the apocryphal acts of the apostles, have I got a podcast for you

ABOLISH LEGAL GENDER ENTIRELY

We can still have social gender but legal gender only serves to enable discrimination and should be done away with like we did away with legal race for the same reason.
NO GENDER MARKERS ON GOVERNMENT ID, NOW
An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Without saying "Groundhog Day," name the FIRST movie to enter your mind now that I've said "Groundhog Day"

If the first movie to enter your mind was "Groundhog Day," recall you CANNOT say "Groundhog Day," you are therefore INELIGIBLE TO RESPOND

DO NOT NAME THE SECOND MOVIE TO ENTER YOUR MIND

just made crumpets out of sourdough discard, and I'ma treat myself to a fresh one instead of one I made last night

this is an explicit example:

at times "respect" is used to mean "treat like a person," and at times to mean "treat like an authority"

when pigs like this say "if you don't respect me, I won't respect you," what they mean is "if you don't treat me like an authority, I won't treat you like a person"
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

I'm sorry I can't stop thinking "all democrats know how to do is fund police, do means test and lie" on repeat now
Unfortunately Democrats only know how to give cops more money, technology, and staffing. They only have one button to press and they’re making a very concerned face as they press it

watched the latest episode of Frieren tonight, and I can't help but get a little hung up on the Hero of the South's words for Himmel:

"I will clear a path for you."

Further context: I have been organizing for 15+ years. I've worked with unions, reformist orgs, anarchists, and revolutionary parties. I have been tear gassed by cops while cracking the skull of a Nazi.

And without a doubt yesterday was the strongest step toward revolutionary change. We can do this
I'm only going to say this once because I'm too tired:

ICE is a bipartisan venture. Fascism is just an empire's violence turned on its own people. Fascism has never been defeated in the voting booth, you have to dismantle it. You have to organize and fight.

It is literally socialism or barbarism.
