Every socialist idea begins with the same simple truth: humans flourish when we care for each other. Everything else (the theory, the policies, the struggle) is just logistics.

Things to unravel in systemic change versus interpersonal

" Just because someone's presence makes you FEEL like the way your oppressor/ abuser does , doesn't mean they ARE your oppressor and abuser"

" Just because you are kind INTERPERSONALLY doesn't mean you are fighting oppression"

The nature of policing is to avoid accountability and responsibility. That is how it works, in the past, today, and in the future. (I’m not allowing responses because I don’t want to keep explaining. At this point if you tell me the police need to be more professional, I’ll just tap this.)

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I'm working on canceling my spotify account. I'm going to end up setting up my own media server with jellyfin. It is interesting trying to figure out how to discover new music again. I am amazed how relevant hype machine as a music blog aggregator still remains relevant

I just learned about Anosognosia, a condition in which a person with a disability is cognitively unaware of having it due to an underlying physical condition. And it makes me think of how certain belief systems come with built in blind spots so you cannot understand other belief systems.

Zohran rally from last night, I skipped the slower parts for y'all. It starts at Tish James then into Zohran. 1hr play time.

I cried through a lot of it.

I miss being able to post where I might be going on a Friday or Saturday night and creating a gentle consensus of where all my friends are going. I miss that intimate version of the internet

Yes, this is why the “they’re not groyper” fixation also misses the target because it is only a technicality. This *is* postmodern fascism at its heart. 20th century fascism was a result of industrial capitalism meeting nationalism while this the result of consumerism meeting racialized nihilism.
I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.
@kenklippenstein.bsky.social with the receipts, actually talking to the shooter's friends.

Surprise! Not the left, or even MAGA. Another white kid who spent countless hours online and "was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed … to rile people up.”

to be very blunt. if we reach the point that the murder rate overtakes the suicide rate, maybe some things change. but, for now. they are killing us in our own heads, first and foremost. the defense for that is community. connection. art isn't the only way to build that. but it's the one I'm good at
promoting this to its own Post. when I say things like "I'm going to keep being weird until they kill me" that is (I think obviously) more aspirational than anything else. but it is the result of a strategic decision that this is where my efforts and abilities are best spent from now until It's Over
yeah don't get me wrong. it's possible I get there too, and I see why people make that decision. I guess, atm, my probable time horizon for "All Of This Is Over Anyway" is closer than the horizon for such a severe shift in priorities. this is how I'm fighting. and I don't intend to stop fighting yet

It can feel really scary to imagine that rights and protections for queer and trans lives are in danger but today I am wearing a hoodie whose thumb holes are older than the federal recognition of same sex marriage in the united states. We have always been here and we always will.

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.

Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

I always thought super hackers were bs in futuristic movies, but now with the advent of AI. I could easily see a future where every program is just made from AI slop and bad security is just accepted, very similar to how we accept how poorly standard key locks work in the US
