How to spot a bot or propagandist: They never give specifics for praise or criticism, it's all generic and non-specific. They won't ever clarify their position and if pressed, will deny making any implications and play the "I didn't say that" game, all without telling you what they actually mean.

I like to argue with bigots not because I think I'll change their mind, but so I can show there are still people who will stand up to them. I don't want hate to be the only voice that vulnerable people will hear.

As a kid, I taught myself skills out of boredom, such as reading upside down/backwards, juggling, shuffling cards, twirling sticks, IDing footsteps, IDing engine sounds, walking quietly, breaking into my house w/o leaving evidence, how to hide my stuff, how to pick bedroom locks... Oh no.

I worked in Defense Intelligence for 13 years and Cybersecurity for 6... And the shit that happened with Signal would see heads roll and careers ended. The really fucked up part is that is just a highlight of the regime's incompetence that is overshadowing the regime's malice.

I'm noticing a concentrated effort online to convince leftists and Democrats to abandon civil rights in the interest of winning elections. "Stop defending trans people, it's a losing issue" and such. Don't fall for it. If you have to abandon decency for the sake of votes, just run as a Republican.

Made this song after a particularly rough September-October.
