It's Tuesday morning, the baby is refusing to nap, and I need to do something productive or I'll scream! SO! Have a list of BOOKS ON SALE!

These are all affiliate links, which means I get a small cut of the retailers profits. These books may be on sale other places I don't have links. Click away!

Do I ever get to wear an inflatable T-Rex costume while dancing to Bad Bunny tracks?

No.

Because my invitation keeps getting lost in the mail.

This is particularly funny if you've seen the video of Portland protestors wearing inflatable cartoon costumes and having a dance party to Latin music when Kristi Noem was in town trying to find a reason to invade.

It's like high school all over again. Going to class on Monday and hearing about how cool that party on Saturday was...

If you start a personal army with a bunch of gothy wraiths on horses I bet me and @falconesse.bsky.social would do some solid work.

I'm a lot like the one ring. It isn't a good idea to trry and slip me on your finger & a lot of people want to throw me in a volcano after my puns.

Oh, watched a found footage horror that had somehow escaped my radar. The Bay. I looooove eco-horror and this is well done. ISOPODS. I'd give it a solid 6.5 out of 10.

Looking at the splice in that fellow's sentence, he needs to re-read the "Comma-nist Manifesto".

(I regret nothing.)

I did go to bed, though. And now I am rejuvenated.

Another day of revelry.

Hi, the leader of Antifa here, your recruitment packet is on its way, we just need you to stop capitalizing the entire word of Antifa like you’re yelling at us. It’s not an acronym it’s just an abbreviation.

Joseph Brassey @josephbrassey.bsky.social · 2h

Your invitation never got sent because as usually happens, the committee to decide on who was supposed to be in charge of sending them descended into factional arguments and then they changed the meeting venue three times. Pretty sure that’s why I never got mine.

It was three in the morning and I was full of Snickers and it crossed my feed.

My honesty is not flattering.
But at least the Snickers were good.

Hello folks. Hammam has been a steady presence on here looking to keep his family alive. If you have a few dollars to help with a tent, you're doing good work. Thank you.

(And an addition, to this thread, then I'm done with it because I am responding in large part to witnessing someone talking about abolition to someone engaging in good faith and botching it. There is no ONE solution. If it was that easy, it'd be done already. Solution/S/.

But...there are no short answers in sociology. The people who came up with this had plenty of lived experiences also. I think it's about, how do you expect to cope with your trauma? Which system actually supports that healing in a productive/restorative way versus the perpetual violence machine way
