if the ceasefire happens - which is a very big if - it will only be the beginning. palestine needs justice, and it needs freedom. zionism must end.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

Compassion fatigue is a real thing, but in the context of people who work hospice and healthcare and people who do support services for basically anything deeply depressing where you get to know about the worst aspects of death/disability.

It is not about people seeing homeless people lol.

little tweak: that petit-bourgeois essence comes out in the social dynamics discussed *but also in the reactions to them*

yatchi @yatchi.bsky.social · 1d

i am always open to criticism and will not use "it was just a joke/off-the-cuff comment" or "i wasn't thinking that hard about it" as defenses. those moments can be among the most revealing

yatchi @yatchi.bsky.social · 1d

i initially wrote "sorry if this didn't make sense, i am dumb" and then i wrote "(this itself is a defense mechanism against taking full responsibility for my hastily-written words)" but even though it is funny to respond to a critique of irony with irony, i really shouldn't be doing that

also a defense mechanism for yourself. sorry for the jumbled words that may not make sense, i hope they are at least a little coherent and relevant

of the social dynamics discussed in the essay. but getting back to the immediate, even if i feel indifferently or negatively about what some other group of furs, over there away from me, is doing, memes and irony are not appealing ways of doing critique because you cannot really do critique if it is

furry allows me to break through certain limits that seem to exist for me as an individual, it does not allow us to break through the limits of capitalism. we can only expect so much out of a fandom whose essence is, probably unalterably, petit-bourgeois, and that comes out very perceivably in each

here for the fantasy animal people which drives, if not camaraderie in all cases, at least some level of understanding, empathy, and solidarity. but ultimately our subculture like all others is still *sub* to *the* culture and everything out there will tend to be replicated within. and even if

positively of me. the practicalities of life and my personality have ruled it out but i still, occasionally, fantasize about what fucking my way through a con would be like. i do try to resist feeling above others, and i think i still feel (or hope) that, deep down, we are still all just weirdos

positioning myself as above them. i don't want to take a bunch of photos of myself (not to even mention videos) for social media but i still long for new photos of me on furtrack. i say i dj for one and only one reason - the music - but i still think about branding in the hopes that people think

this is good and, dare i say, important? i always felt pretty detached from or uninterested in the multiple spaces described here - drunken room/cuddle/sex parties, "content creation" of all sorts, brand consumerism - but i, too, am not immune from these tendencies, or the defense mechanism of

should probably stop thinking about it too much though. the order of preference is probably just going to be win10 > win11 > linux > mac for the next couple years at least

yatchi @yatchi.bsky.social · 2d

i probably could switch to mac tbh, i just don't want to pay for apple hardware. but then again i'm no stranger to buying old and used thinkpads and androids

dweeb lowtax is responsible for several ethnic cleansings. tweaker lowtax will have killed more people than ghenghis khan on behalf of sundowning reagan v3 when he finally dies.

girlboss lowtax is the true inheritor of his legacy (mangosteen, personally unpleasant, not rich)
