when I hear people hacking on the homeless (not trying hard enough, just want drugs, freeloaders by choice, prefer to steal than to work) I wish I could explain to them how hard it is to act in your own best interest in a world that's devoted itself to enhancing your misery.

For scale: I spent eleven days in the maximum security wing of a local county lockup before a judge heard my case and moved me to min. I had one hour out of the cell a day. The cell was small. There was a speaker in the ceiling. By the end I was talking to the speaker and spending hours each day
Rejon Taylor was one of 37 people on federal death row whose death sentence was commuted by then-President Biden. This year, he learned the Trump administration was sending him to a supermax prison once called a “clean version of hell.”

Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

It produces a performative ecosystem. Actors aren’t communicating; they’re staging provocations for yield. The result is disordered discourse: signals detached from truth, identity shaped by escalation, and a feedback loop where the performance eclipses reality itself.

works in progress. In this case I'm going to be using ink pen for detail on a watercolor background. This isn't something I've done before but as long as I'm careful with my choice of pens I think it will come off #artsky 🎨

average social psychologist:
and that is that to test any of this I'd effectively be attempting to induce a mild delusion in my research participants and then having to assess how well I did and then to debrief them, this is assuming IRB would allow something so egregious in human subjects research.

So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

watching my son walk down the hall today to class and it hit me with such intensity. he is living his first-person life. the moments we share are priceless. my mother wanted to keep life from me and instead I get to love my son while I'm alive. truly there can be no greater achievement

we make amends where possible, except when to do so would further injure others. *slams the book closed* this backass perversion of repair is only possible when the whole system supports it. Even my mother's actions showed she had drawn up this country's love of hurting the helpless whole.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
