I remember reading a paper in university that argued that "anti-racism has no essential form" and I never realized how absurd that could get until now, lol.

I already ordered some online, it's fine. I'm just being dramatic.

It's ok, I ordered some from an online delivery service that we use most of the time. It's just not going to be here until later this week.

Family thanksgiving sober is terrible.

🫂. My mom is here visiting, but because of the cannabis strike I have to ration the few we have left... Cannabis over Thanksgiving is an essential service!

It's already starting. A lot of right wing influencers are distancing themselves from Maga and Trump because they're so clearly a disaster for young people. What hardened millennials against the GOP was an unpopular war based on lies and economic crisis. That's exactly what gen z is seeing rn.

Because the drawers in our bedroom are already full of the A-list toys.

My mom is arriving today to visit, so I took the day off. My husband kindly cleaned up the guest bedroom last night for her. I was just making the bed and doing a final tidy up, and realized he forgot about all the sex toys stashed in the nightstand. Barely dodged a bullet there.

Identity politics without class consciousness just reinscribe groups as scapegoats for wealthy elites.

And an anarchist in ideals. I'm hopeful that events will continue to push the younger generations to the left as they age.

I worry about the politics of gen z and Gen alpha sometimes, especially the rightward movement in social views of young cishet white men. But I think about myself as a young man. I thought of myself as "very liberal" in my 20s. But cold hard reality has made me pragmatically a democratic socialist,

Trump says he's going to put more tariffs on Chinese goods [gasps]. JK, a 30% tariff is about as good as an embargo, practically speaking. China is already facing a 55% tariff on its goods. So he may as well raise the tariff to a million percent, because it wouldn't make much difference ATP.

The US hosts troops from allied countries in our facilities to train with our military, it's true. But Qatar is building this facility on our soil, and the timing looks really suspicious.
