Robot, train, and frog enjoyer. Mostly just post nonsensical stuff on here. He/him.
The thing that stands out to me about this stuff now is we don't even get the "police (or whatever equivalent law enforcement agency it is) were just trying to help the person" type takes as was the case here with Ian Tomlinson
The no-angeling is already in full swing.

It’s actually so good that the US is no longer even pretending to care about human life and are now just saying people deserve to die if they make one of their large treat boys upset

Got asked about "Your Party" by a relative recently on the expectation I might have something to say about it. My response was to say "To be honest I had forgotten about them entirely".

the guardian cut this from a piece judith butler wrote for them.
the guardian targeted butler long before the american right did.
[attached is an image of butler along with text the guardian cut from a piece they wrote]
"THE ANTI-GENDER IDEOLOGY
IS ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT
STRAINS OF FASCISM IN OUR TIMES!" "So TERFS will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by the struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia, and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which includes high rates
of attacks on trans and genderqueer people.
The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of "gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of
considered judgments"

this meeting could have been an acclaimed 2018 walking simulator with a starkly expressionistic art and narrative style, and a soundtrack by an artist ~16 years past their prime but absolutely knocking it out of the park, just an utter fucking banger of haunting electronica. this meeting ruled, man.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
