your shoulders are absolutely ____ing amazing, Gabriel.

🥵

And yes, that includes arts, humanities and courses/PhDs with titles that you, personally, don't immediately understand or see the point of.

It is absolutely right that university is paid for by people who don't go to university as well as those who do.
I don't have kids but I pay for schools because I benefit from having an educated workforce and community.
The same is true for all stages and types of education.

desperately sad.
the language of grooming.

“everybody loves ….. “

I guess "white wealthy British and American grooming gangs" doesn't have the same ring to it

saved from the demon with unreliable self-adjusted ‘research’.

dinner with Caligula would be preferable to Matt Goodwin’s maniacal and inimical presence.

i am so lucky to be with someone that you could never find /meet on an app.
it’s always better meeting a person by accident. it happens to me a lot but then i am always out /not domestic etc. i think that digital interaction removes all of flirtation + empathy that you might feel, naturally in life.

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”

The past few days have confirmed for me something I’ve long believed: the American political system is terminally fucked, but the American people are not.

Most Americans want to live in a democracy in which everyone has a decent life—the fascists in this regime represent a dying minority.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

Tories, actually.

i am not part of this ‘conversation’. yet one thing that i ^do know is that this is how the Right so frequently wins.. by having the “the left“ bitching and carping—and competing for perfection or
🦄purity.

in an era like this we must •unite to defeat authoritarian dictators and deleterious régimes.

interesting backstory.
the poet, actor, dramatist snd activist and Heathcote Williams (John Henley Heathcote-Williams) wrote the song (in his mind) for Tina Turner.
Marianne demanded it for herself.

to paraphrase:
“Heathcote, darling. In no lifetime will Tina record that.”

my favourite interpretation by Marianne, alongside her interpretation of the Kurt Weill—Bertolt Brecht song
📄🎭Pirate Jenny from Die Dreigroschenoper.

(i performed in several Brecht productions while studying ’a’ level drama at f.e. college.)
