Better this than being with the wrong person. 🤌😉
"Conservative" is just a euphemism for backwards.
Backward people who want to see a return to the days of kings and peasants.
Backward people who see people of one colour as more important than another.
Backward people who want to see the return of diseases that were once eliminated.
Backward people who want to take away the rights of women.
Backward people who think economics is a zero sum game.
Backward people who are terrified of anyone whose sexuality is different from theirs.
After seeing years of slow forward progress over my lifetime it's so sad to see a backward country like the US throwing it all away.
You wash my back, I'll wash yours.
Happy Friday.
Mark Zuckerberg and his minions at Meta see our slide into fascism -- which Zuckerberg actively funds, and Facebook actively profits from -- as a good product launch opportunity for facial recognition stalkerware goggles.

it's heartwarming to see more restaurants with ICE not welcome signs
Pygmy marmoset sad because no ones came to his birthday party
Hi friends,
As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.
I have seen firsthand what happens when the government sends children and families to camps — detention centers, “facilities,” whatever name they choose to soften the blow. I know what that kind of incarceration does to a child’s spirit, to a family’s sense of safety and belonging. I cannot stand by while our government once again enables agents to strip people of their dignity, their rights, and the fundamental freedoms every human being deserves.
That’s why I’m urging you, with all the gravity this moment demands, to add your name to a petition telling Congress: abolish ICE.
When enough of us raise our voices together, we remind our leaders — and ourselves — that compassion is our strength, not cruelty.

I think I’ll delete my other social accounts. General wisdom is that I should use Instagram, TikTok etc to spread the word about things I’m working on (I make a #podcast about stories called The Worst Writer in the World) - but I’ve never found them useful
I'd rather just post pics of my cats

미국은 올해 돈을 많이 풀것으로 예상한다는데 지쳐서 쓰러진 사람을 강제로 일으켜세우는 그런 느낌임; 즉 억지로 인플레이션을 일으키는 느낌인데 풀릴 돈의 액수가 $4.7T 라는데 한화로 환산하는것 자체가 무의미할정도로 큰 돈임; 그리고 달러의 가치는 낮아질듯... 한번에 푸는건 아니고 몇번의 웨이브로 거쳐서 온다고 함. 이렇게 막는것보단 구조적인 문제를 해결해야하는데...

Wenn Discord jetzt Age Verification macht, wird folgendes passieren:
Communities ziehen auf andere Plattformen um. Die sind i.d.R. nicht barrierefrei. Die Behinderten bleiben also zurück und verlieren sozialen Anschluss.
Glaubt ihr nicht? Ist genau so passiert, als Discord 2015/2016 aufgetaucht ist. Da war das weit davon entfernt, irgendwie zugänglich zu sein, und das wurde erst über die Jahre besser.
Jetzt ists leider das beste kleine soziale Netzwerk, das wir haben.
Denkt an uns, bitte.
