Have you heard of tactical frivolity?

It’s one of my favorite forms of protest.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. 🪩🐔🐸

“Dolly Parton has built her empire on and with the debris of old, racist amusements and wrapped it in working-class signifiers and feminist politics. I ignored that fact for a long time because it didn’t fit the script of the feminist, working-class heroine I had conjured”

a good piece—thanks!

Why I 🧡 the web.

This #WebGL game where you deliver messages on a tiny planet is amazing. Smooth animation. Peaceful vibes (and i didn't even play, I wondered around).

there’s this setup, as in trap, that gets inside to tell us we can’t help each oher, that we don’t have enough to share, that it is too risky to open ourselves to one another’s needs & situations. but we are enough. when we share the load & the risks & the openness, we are plenty.

Tolerance is a social contract. It only works if both people are cooperating. Once one refuses, the contract is broken and the extension of tolerance MUST be retracted in the same way that you can cooperate with a bank until they steal your money. Then you must stop doing business with that bank.

The whole idea of being tolerant of them because thats the "higher" stance is such a fallacy. Because once they get in power they will then turn on you and kill you..

You cannot be tolerant of the intolerable
