Libertarians the moment anyone mentions age of consent laws:

libertarians saying “want to know what i think?” And they’re the clown from it

leftists: filling the drain with concrete

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

You look bored. Or maybe just numb to the ever mounting horrors. Maybe both.

Here's something to take the edge off:

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

Y'all remember when ISIS was putting out sleek, high value production vids online of soldiers in action to encourage angry, alienated youth to join?

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

So I tried to protest but no one came.

I tried writing and calling my representatives but they were bought by billionaires and gave no shits

I got louder and they came for me but I was alone because I

am

a

traitor

and anyone that would have helped is gone.

The renters who survived the previous purges were driven onto the streets and then into work camps but my house is mine so I'm fine

The I realized life sucks now. Culture and entertainment are trash, obscenity laws banned anything interesting and no one seemed to listen to me about my needs

Everyone darker than a paper bag got the chop and I remained quiet because I was promised better jobs for it

Non Christians were black-bagged and disappeared but I'm right with the Lord so no worries

Catholics were tossed in camps and I realized my friend group was smaller

First they came for the sex workers and I said nothing.

Then they came for trans people, and I stayed silent.

Next it was the gays and lesbians and bisexuals, but the game was on so 🤷

Women lost their rights next but me and the boys figured it'd be fine

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!

I had a similar train of thought earlier. More than anything they are infuriated they aren't met with universal love and adoration for brutalizing their ever expanding pool of enemies.

Ms. Maxwellmusic 🏳️‍⚧️ @mxmaxwellmusic.bsky.social · 3h

So they double down, then double down again because "WHY DON'T YOU LIBCUCKS LOVE ME!? I'M LETTING YOU SAY SLURS AGAIN!"

They are not rational actors. We're being ruled by uber-wealthy CTE rage addicts with abandonment issues.

The Golden Rule applies. They've shown how they wish to be treated.

Reminder: gangs have existed throughout human history to protect and provide their communities by any means necessary. Their violence is the direct result of competition inside an ultra oppressive system.

Gang does not equal bad.

National Guards and Federal law enforcement being used to invade and occupy/brutalize the cities of other states the President has deemed political enemies is pretty much definitionally civil war.

I suspect we will reach "CNN reporter in flak jacket and helmet" when the gangs unite.

I genuinely don't think we're contending with or accepting just how bad things have become, and just how much danger we're in.

Fundamentally I think people are expecting that normalcy will somehow reassert itself, and that's just not going to happen here.
