To me, Christmas isn't about perfection or consumerism. It's about family togetherness. It's about decorating your cottage with acorns and goblin bones. It's about riding a colossal owl through an eldritch snowstorm. It's about crawling through a tunnel and feeding grubs to the Peppermint Man.

Whenever I complain about America here I get dozens of replies being like "yeah Trump ruined this country".
Honey it was ruined long before Trump, he's just making it worse.

If I see one more freaking person type "would of" instead of "would HAVE" I fear I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. "Would've" is what you guys are saying, or "should've," etc. not "would of." Do you even realize that it doesn't make sense? Between this bs and AI I'm so done

AND IS THIS A SURPRISE TO ANYBODY??? Between the Yale IVF scandal (and many many gynecological malpractice cases at universities), the state of our healthcare system in general + history of harming women, plus the history of our military and the people within it...this is America, you guys
There’s an investigation into an Army doctor who was sexually assaulting, filming and even inducing labour without consent.
He may have abused up to 2,500 women.
Why isn’t this bigger news?
It’s the largest sexual abuse case in the military’s history.

Good old Loopy Star here to remind us all that you actually don't need AI to make shitty art people love! #middleschoolpoetaesthetic
The only people I know who speed read poetry have also recommended the poetry of a certain person I won’t mention but whose name rhymes with Loopy Star. And also The 4 Hour Work Week.
Every so often I remember a poet who lightheartedly made fun of me for taking such a long time to read a book of poetry. I think of it whenever I take my sweet ass time reading anything. I do read poetry more slowly than I read prose, and I like it that way.

Just give people money to buy food. Every people. Every people can have food money. Yay, farmers have money and people have food and nobody's baby goes to bed hungry. Food is not something you should have to be worthy of. What a concept.
Both times I've been on SNAP, I was recently laid off from Tech jobs in the Bay Area. Nothing in my life looked different, but I knew my cupboards were bare.
It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

While this is hopeful, I HIGHLY doubt they'll follow through. They'll find a really good reason to demonize the protestors for being "unreasonably violent"
I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

So reminder this is why we're ACAB. This is what our cops DO. It's Breonna Taylor all over again and the countless people whose lives are taken on the daily by our pigs. Fucking cowards not owning up to their own mistakes.
