Find you a man who looks at you the way I look at my babe's elbows.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Austin
I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Oh the plus side, Disney being a bunch of spineless cowards means I don't have to make the hard choice of what streaming service to cut. Which means more money for PBS and books.

Halloween stuff is in full swing at the pet store. Did Beans need a new scratch pad house? No.
Did she get one anyway? Obviously.

Hey, it's my favorite day of the month. New book day from @akpress.org

This month is Zaragoza Bound, A Chronicle of the Durruti Column.

According to AK Press

Oh History, you tease

Germany, Italy and Japan are among major US allies that declined to recognise a Palestinian state. Spain, Ireland and Norway gave recognition in May, with Sweden in
2014.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 21d

Yeah and like the US burned off almost literally its entire stockpile in 2020, they were firing stuff older than a lot of the protesters by the end because they were just running out of all of their stockpiles

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Kelsey Atherton @atherton.bsky.social · 21d

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

The PS1 startup sound as a lesbian @janus.bsky.social · 21d

as usual, Margaret eloquently summarizes the thoughts that have been drifting around in my head this week. @margaret.bsky.social

I'm not afraid of the fallout of last week's news because everything bad that might come out of it was already being planned. They've already been scapegoating trans people for everything bad in this country and are trying to criminalize our existence. They've already been talking about declaring "Antifa" a domestic terror organization. They're already funding a genocide (and were before the current administration) and they were already ramping up ICE infrastructure as fast as they possibly can. I don't know that there's any further acceleration available. The fascist pedal is already to the fascist metal.
That's not to say that things aren't going to get worse: they are going to get worse. They're just, as far as I can tell, getting worse as fast as they already can. Our actions aren't going to someh convince the fascists to get even more
fascist. There's an odd sort of freedom in that realization. We can—and should-collectively stop saying shit like "oh if you behave a certain way, it will just embolden the fascists." They're already as bold as they can get.

Being shitty about/to unhoused people is such a hardline dealbreaker. It means you’re nakedly motivated by your disgust for a group of people in your community and not at all curious about the material conditions that got them there.
