I also hate pooping! It's yucky!

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 51m

LITERALLY ANYONE: can I overshare about my pooping situation?

ME:

a man sitting at a desk says " don 't worry " in a netflix advertisement

Alt: Lucifer from the show saying "ddon 't worry, this is a safe place"

Look at my sumac's fall colours 😭😭😭😍😍😍

On a table on a balcony: a 15 inch tall staghorn sumac tree, with its compound leave in bright rust colour for fall, and a smaller juniper tree in a bonsai pot

Y'all I made a shoe. My shoelaces won't get here till Wednesday and I still need to stitch the other one but it's a shoe! #quilting #sewing #shoemaking @bucklebee.bsky.social

A low top sneaker with no laces, the fabric is quilted and the upper is a blue fabric with bugs allover it and the tongue and toe are the yellow color way of the same pattern. The binding around the edges is red with dots.

A plague on every hospital that charges employees and patients for parking. Especially cancer patients. Especially cancer patients getting chemo.

The joyless edgelords of the left always have and always will miss the point:

The world, humanity, life: those things are worth fighting for so that they can be enjoyed.

Kill that of you which cringes, mute or block those who would tell you to kill your hope, and dance, motherfucker, dance.

I became alive once more. At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.

I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business. I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. "I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things." Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal

“We are going to win” is the left position.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 3h

I realize that all the "we are going to win" inspiration posting codes as aesthetically liberal (being left is being unimpressed) and invites the responses you'd guess from a certain genre of more radical than thou poster but still surprised at the particular condescension strategies people go for

But also like nobody can picture weights on barbells or whatever

But saying he weighs 250

I'm 260 and 5'5" and I'm fat. He is also fat, and almost a foot taller than me lol.

Like any fat person knows he isn't 250

I'm sorry, we all know it's just constant lies about even the most obvious things

My mum is reading trump's most recent medical report and it says he can do a 4-minute mile and can deadlift like 450 lbs, like the entire thing is just bonkers

Lol ok boomer

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 3h

I've explained to my 80 yo mum how saying "not all [group]" is unproductive and derailing, as well as explaining many other things that she wasbt up to date on, and she understood just fine

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 3h

No one said that to him.

It's the criticism he received afterward that he's rejecting

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 3h

Yeah because it's definitely the word count people have a problem with, not the actual words you wrote

But you're too good to receive criticism and try to listen, I guess

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

Appropriate criticism is not friendly fire, hope this helps

People with the most privilege shiuld be open to being educated on how to be a more helpful and productive ally

Do you know how many times ive corrected my mum 80 yo in her activism? She listens and adjusts, she doesn't give up activism

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

YOU are focused on the wrong thing: yourself and your own feelings

No part of that post said the whole group was bad lol.

If the second anyone criticizes old white men, you feel divided out and question your commitment, you were never an ally in the first place. Please be tougher that than

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

He could have just posted that middle section and no one would have had a problem with his comment

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

He still has work to do if his first instinct is to jump in insisting that HE IS GOOD THOUGH and listing what he does that makes him good

Centering himself because he got his feelings hurt from a comment that wasn't about him

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

Yes the problem is you think we don't already know there are good white men. We're not stupid

The same as women criticizing toxic masculinity and men jumping in to say "NOT ALL MEN 😭😡"

Nobody said "all"

But the group being discussed has a very visible pattern that should always be challenged

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

Good people don't need to worry about being "lumped in" with the bad ones. They are secure enough to know they don't need to make comments like "ok but I'M NOT BAD don't call me bad like that guy"

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

There's no need for this guy to come to defend other "old white men"

If they aren't like the asshole in the video, and they're on the right side of history, the comment isn't about them, and they don't have to worry about it

He should not be bothered by a comment that doesn't apply to him

🍉🍍Bromez Chaddams🍍🍉 @bromezaddams.bsky.social · 4h

If you feel the need to make comments like this, you still got work to do, bro
