Just had a catastrophic nap after a day of travelling home. I'm so disoriented now

just another example of someone starting down the path of “leaving the left”. they initially buy into rightwing narratives until it overtakes them completely like a mold

I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this but one of several key reasons the Me Too movement was met with a successful counter revolution was because there ended up being a bipartisan elite consensus that this was getting too annoying and that our powerful men getting accused, well we like them
Contrary to popular belief and framing, the MeToo movement did not fundamentally shift the status quo of institutional empowerment and protection of predators. The widespread idea that it did has put victims at a further disadvantage when they come forward about institutional betrayal

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Taking my small pleasures during this call shift, like warming my feet by the call room space heater like some kind of sad pilgrim.

Look I was cutting back my alcohol intake prior to the election and I'm gonna keep on that trend, but I'm just going to need to throw a tantrum about it now and then before I drink my flavoured seltzer water

CBS News characterized this as Trump's housing policy proposal
The way media has acquiesced to "mass deportation" as casual policy shorthand for impending genocide plans is a very terrifying preview of how quickly willing they will be to adopt fascist language as policy reporting norm

A few months ago, the conservative party came to power in Valencia, Spain with the support of the far right. One of their first acts was to eliminate climate emergency services. At the end of October, flooding exacerbated by climate change killed over 200 people in the region.

Addiction is a chronic relapsing condition. The rate of success for involuntary care is lower than the rate for people who WANT treatment‼️ And none of it changes the unregulated drug supply, which is still there waiting for people when they slip and use again

Forcing people into drug treatment is on the political agenda. Here's what the evidence says | CBC News
Across Canada, there’s a growing number of political leaders proposing to force people into treatment for drug addiction, despite inconclusive evidence about its effectiveness.

“young men need to be able to have sex and get women” shit is intrinsically designed to be abusive but “people need to be free to talk about how they want companionship and emotional/physical connection” is true and also illuminates how much of that is caused by the prison of the former mindset

I live in a large-ish suburb near to Boston. When I moved here in 2015, it was entirely run by the Italian American version of good old boys. Roughly five of us began organizing, and we got a committed Democratic Socialist on the School Committee. Two years later, two city councilors and more…

My list of shows ppl should watch, but tbh after the first 5 the order kinda breaks down:
1. The Sopranos (my #1 all time show, perfect in every way, so psychologically real)
2. Twin Peaks
3. The OA (you have to be the right type of weird to like it)
4. The Leftovers (just watch it)
5. Mad Men

It took me far too long to remember Rothko's name tonight. COVID and also the large number of beers I've had tonight totally erased his name from my mind

I feel kinda stupid for feeling so bad about the election result because things would have continued to get worse with Kamala in office but I can't help it. It feels like plunging into the abyss
