Why do you support a pedo?

Seo Helrune @elfbotherer.bsky.social · Aug 13

Why are you against people watching a 1947 anti-fascist video? Weird.

No one but your fellow cultists are going to watch stuff about your pedo senpai for three and a half hours, dude.

reminder that the 'read & return' lifehack actively harms authors, especially self published authors.
Also please consider that
1 Libraries exist and are free
2 Authors will not continue writing books you like if they aren't making any money or think it doesn't sell

Authors are protesting Amazon's e-book policy that allows users to read and return

Authors say readers are exploiting Amazon's seven-day return policy by using Amazon like a library and returning books after reading them.

Try to make sure as many folks see this as possible, but especially MAGA. A lot of the stages described in this video are already familiar. Draw those parallels. Make those points. You may not get far with them, but they are not your audience.

I've found that with my brain, my thoughts just kind of freeze, then move on to something else. A bit of stimming to reregulate, and I'm good to go. Maybe it's the same for you too? May as well give it a try.

Weird recent discovery. Sharing here in case it's helpful for others too.

Whenever your brain starts throwing out disaster scenarios, instead of trying to ignore them or reframe, try challenging your brain to imagine even worse.

Like, "Okay, you wanna do this? Let's fucking go!"

Imagine being the White House demon right now and having to live with Temu Louis XIV with his shitty gold applique obsession.

I don't think everyone gets that there is no going back to how things were at this point.

The good/bad news is that everything is crumbling.

The good/bad news is that we need to figure out what kind of society to build next.

And we all need to start imagining that "next" now.

New blog post just dropped. As you can probably tell from the title, I'm being super subtle. Very diplomatic. My take on the shaping force of worldview & the impossibility of remaining apolitical.

Also: a feral disaster groundhog.

It's Tower Time/the Wolf Age (pick one). Calls for apolitical discourse are shit. Red flags all round. Read more to find out why.

Oh hai, Bluesky! I kinda forgot this app existed.

Watched Sinners last night, and omg what an amazing movie! Definitely the kind of film that lives in your mind long after the end credits are done.

This is what patriotism looks like - marching toward the Capitol with pride, purpose, and the promise of liberty for all.

Los Ángeles is only the first city, MAGA and Trump don’t have enough troops to keep up the pace. Mayors and governors need to back the American people over the Trump regime ICE forces.

No shit, Beanhead. Almost like there was a reason for that whole "separation of powers" thing.

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

To this day, this remains my favorite academic paper title.

Finally, here's the vid by Parkrose Permaculture. You should give her a follow. I really appreciate her content. Direct speech, compassion, and not being an accelerationist while also being strategic? Hell yes.

It also reminded me of an essay a friend shared about AI and how it supports the far right. (Link here: newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...)

Parkrose highlights human artists in her video & I think that's important too. Human vs AI. A more human-friendly way of living vs Tech dystopia.

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

I keep thinking about a vid by @parkroseperma.bsky.social about the need for artists in the movement. She's 100% right. Art is important, and not only for marketing purposes. It can also help us to envision futures and ways of being outside of the neoliberal box.

Imagination -> innovation.
