It's amazing how much of the internet nowadays is outright "Damn, can't be blatantly evil and/or racist anymore; you're expected to be a decent person. Ugh, everything's gone woke."

If you ever whine about "bad writing" but have never written professionally, you have no idea what you're talking about.

"B-but you don't have to be a chef to-" Can it. You don't have to be a chef to DISLIKE food, but you better know a thing or two about food to call it "badly cooked."

if you were to combine all the progress we HAVE made as a country so far (that is starting to get undone thanks to who's in charge now.) it took over 100 years.

Some people were and are willing to let 100 years of progress fall away if it means we can't progress another 100 years but over night.

I love enjoying things. It's so much better than not enjoying things.

Everyone has a word processor. That doesn't mean everyone can write Moby Dick.

Everyone has a camera. That doesn't make everyone could take the Afghan Girl photo.

Everyone can draw. That doesn't mean everyone can do the Mona Lisa.

Everyone having AI doesn't replace creativity. It enhances output.

"We don't like what we don't...
understand and in fact it scares us,
and this monster is mysterious at least.
Bring your guns, bring your knives,
save children and and your wives,
we'll save our village and our lives!
WE'LL KILL THE BEAST!"

Yeah, Ashman might have been saying something, lol

"Israel shouldn't exist because it's a country founded on colonialism and the genocide of the local populace!" say people from the US, somehow unironically.

Joy is an act of resistance under fascism. Practising joy does not mean you’re refusing to acknowledge the horrors. Help and protect your communities, support mutual aid when able, and continue doing the things you love.

Whenever you see someone complain that some media's message about diversity or the environment is too "preachy," remember this:

It's not the message's fault, nor the media's. It's that person's. People don't tend to think a message is "forced" or "preachy" if they agree with it.

Matthew Donald 📖🦖🤣 @matthewdonald64.bsky.social · 13d

Hey, that "like" there? Just a headsup, I wasn't agreeing with you, lol

Matthew Donald 📖🦖🤣 @matthewdonald64.bsky.social · 13d

Read it more carefully, lol

Matthew Donald 📖🦖🤣 @matthewdonald64.bsky.social · 13d

Wait until y'all find out how much power hosting a social media website uses, lol

“But but but there’s no gonna BE a 2026 vote-“

Operate as if there will be until you PHYSICALLY can’t.

“But but but Dem candidate is stupid and bad-“

I don’t give a fuck. Vote.

Vote in 2026 to finally put a check on Trump and the GOP. Our nation’s future depends on it.

I am an antifascist.

If you ain't, what's that make you?

1) You're just as incensed about Russia against Ukraine or China against the Uyghurs? I doubt that.

2) By focusing only on the one country that's predominantly Jewish, you are focusing on the religion.

3) It's super easy to feel righteous by accusing every slightly dissenting voice of extremism.

Way to completely intentionally misread what I said, geez.
