The disabled were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis because they knew people wouldn’t fight for us.

They knew that most people see the disabled as an expendable, so it’s easy to commit atrocities against us.

They called us “useless eaters” and threw us away

You with your slanderous tongues
You make such beautiful wounds
Always concealing your secret doubts
As lovers do
- Rome, “Transference” (2016)
a woman is standing in a room with her hand up and a sign on the wall .
Alt: Rey stands in the doorway of a spaceship looking down with an angry expression. Kylo looks up at her with an ambiguous expression that may be a mix hope, resignation, and sadness. Rey shuts the door with a button, closing off their connection.

Must all determine here?
Why still crave their pardon?
Call your colours forth
Let us raise this siege
- Rome, “Transference” (2016)
a group of people are standing next to each other in a dark room holding lightsabers .
Alt: Kylo Ren and Rey, back to back, fighting the red-clad praetorian guards in the red throne room. Rey is leaning into Kylo’s back to kick at and hold off 3 guards with her lightsaber. Kylo is bending forward to slash downward with his lightsaber at another guard.

I know you wished me bolder
Watching the shadows implode
A farewell to bitter blood
And to the lovers of old
- Rome, “Transference”
(2016)
a man and a woman are holding hands in front of a fire
Alt: Kylo Ren and Rey touching fingertips in front of a campfire. He is a pale dark-haired man, wearing all black and surrounded by darkness. She is tanned with dark hair, wearing a white sleeveless blouse and wrapped in a brown, rustic blanket, with a blue night sky behind her.

Why is it so easy to write poems about negative things, but so hard to write them about positive ones?

Of course people are buying “cheap” Black Friday / Cyber Monday shit. These mid-winter gift exchanges were always about celebrating survival during misery season.

We are in free-fall - economically, socially, politically. Shopping and gifting are how consumers put a balm on fear and misery.

Today, I’ve seen image posts of tweets without alt text from @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, and @georgeconway70.bsky.social!

This is disappointingly ableist.

It’s easy. There’s a setting to remind you. Phones can create text from tweets automatically.

Do. Better.

Stopgenai.com we are a mutual aid collective working to raise awareness on the dangers of AI, and teach people how to avoid the tech (it’s actually pretty easy, go to our website) and raise funds for those who’s livelihoods were lost to this shit.

"Being Covid-conscious is more than precautions and research. It’s grieving losses no one else will acknowledge, enduring mockery, protecting people who resent you, showing up for community the world says doesn’t matter, and fighting for a future others already declared lost."

NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s one of the most influential social psychology studies ever. Was it all a lie?
A classic book on UFO believers and their "cognitive dissonance" after aliens failed to land is called into question.
