getting all the girlies to each write five little rules for themselves
1) Everyone is always at least a little wrong, you included
2) It isn't bad to be wrong unless you stay wrong
3) You can always look closer, and you can always zoom out; be strategic
4) The more different things you do, the better
5) You have to give *and* take, not just one or the other

I haven't been moved by a game in the way UNBEATABLE (@dcellgames.com) has since Life is Strange came out a decade ago.
Beyond the stellar gameplay, banging soundtrack, and gorgeous visual style lies a Story mode so brash, heartfelt, imperfect, moving, and existential it feels unlike anything else.

endless Returnism or Hauntological Revisionism whether to the 20th century or the 2010s or early 2020s or whatever your base point of reference is primarily functions as a sign of a moribund movement and a pure survivalism. the worst thing is to be complacent

i dont wanna be mean but we are nowhere near "woke". very little in the 2010s was truly genuinely progressive in a liberatory way. it's all aspiration and that's good but you need to be clear eyed about what you want to build

things will get better but people genuinely underestimate the amount of casual fascism even progressives are accepting and internalizing in the present. tbh. that is to say of course things will oscillate

This. We can break the videos down frame-by-frame, but as long as they show a woman who rejected the authority of a fascist state, fascists will say she deserved it—and so, in their view, does anyone who isn't actively assisting the fascist state in body or, importantly, belief.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

I wrote a book about ancient Christian martyrdom and this is really sticking with me
the stories of martyrs emphasized their righteousness and self-control in the face of state authorities who lacked both
early Christians sought to train themselves to replicate that way of being from the stories

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful
To paraphrase Margaret Atwood…”men are afraid that women will laugh at them, women are afraid that men will kill them”

you remember JBPeterson?
Whenever he accused the left of being incoherent postmodernist extremists, I had to laugh.
This is one of the most postmodern, immaterial movements imaginable.
It's -ALL- vibes, -ALL- the time.

these days also given the state of the country it feels incredibly farcical to do stupid little spreadsheets about shit that doesn't matter so all things considered i think my employer should be happy that i even pretend to work let alone actually ever do my job
i was running into some truly maddening "well that's just how it works here" bullshit yesterday at work and my boss asked me if it was better at my old job (competing company) but i really did not have the heart to tell him that the only reason i left was because the workplace got hostile overnight.

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

For young, entry-level workers, sharing rent with roommates is a rite of passage. But as living costs continue to rise and as homeownership becomes less achievable for young adults, older adults are making up a growing share of live-in landlords. trib.al/4jvD8Ox

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.
