No, sorry, I'm just...probably doing everything wrong. Sorry.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

That, yeah. I'm honestly still trying to learn how social media stuff works. Sorry about being bad at stuff. :3 I'm learning, but... yeah, work in progress. Honestly, I appreciate getting called out on handling something poorly, helps me do better.

So much yes. Just... how? I'm not saying we don't do it, we obviously need to. I just...don't know how. I see a number of independent journalists trying, and it's wonderful. But... I don't know the answer to fixing the issue with the stuff that has reach and the control capital has on the system.

yes AND ditto the US ...

yup. almost like 'compromising' with bullies doesn't accomplish shit ...

Fair, I should've reposted and stuff if I wanted to spread and things. I'm...not great at actually handling making sure things get to people.

I was still just keeping my older page I already had, didn't see a need to get a Myspace page when I already had my existing one. So I guess I'm too old? Maybe? Not that I bothered with music on it anyway. It was all geek shit. And bad fanfiction. That was also geek shit. Gods my terrible Eva fics.

Since it shows they'll have to put in effort and work for it. Most of them? Honestly are lazy.

Never bend the knee for bullies. All they do is ask for more and more and more. You show them weakness, you're just telling them their tactics WORK. It sucks, and I get that its HARD sometimes to stand up to them, but...even losing a fight to them actually does you better than bending over without.

I was initially hesitant to post about this, but...

My son has never been a big reader. Which, librarian as a dad, heavy reader as a mom, go figure, but we didn't try to force it on him and create trauma. I just figured it was ADHD-related.

A couple of weeks ago, the switch flipped.

They did move me up to 3rd grade reading pretty quick. But... not up a grade. Apparently you have to know how to smile for that. Who knew? ....I didn't figure out how to fake that 'til 6th. Learn REAL smiles 'til I was 43. Oops. Turns out I should've just transitioned a LOT sooner.

Gods... I remember that nonsense. I showed up to kindergarten having already read a whole back catalog of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novels, a bookcase of Arthurian romances, all the Lord of the Rings books... and then they wanted to foist me off on 'the alphabet'. I was like 'What? But BOOKS.'

What Is A “Professional Degree” And Why Does It Matter? Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Dept of Education proposes redefining "professional degrees" to exclude degrees in nursing, NP/PA, Public Health, PT/OT and more

How about we pay them the professional wages they're worth, instead of kneecapping the loans programs?

Are you actually revolutionary or just performative? YouTube video by revolutionaryth0t

Really excellent video - youtu.be/R57pujATIs8?...

I was going to say... isn't that just another term for 'more money for rich people?' Seriously, Clinton was just a Republican in Democrat clothing and I'm sick of people pretending otherwise. People trying to copy him have been dragging things right, right, right ever since. No thanks.

@profanity.accountant I'm curious, just how much do I go off on things?

Apparently if you're a Christofascist it means 'I get to bully anyone I want into whatever I want.' Sadly, considering they keep getting court backing on this... apparently uhm, yeah. Does it make any SENSE? Well, no. But... this is the hellscape we live in. Ain't it grand. /s

:3 There's a reason my patch and pin vests and jackets don't JUST have what I'm against, but ALSO what I'm for. Neglecting to have anything to build a better future simply means raging without seeking to rebuild after. That doesn't last.

ICE will need to be abolished and those that worked there incarcerated. They are either participating or covering up crimes. No bail this time boys

I will stand by my belief that EVERY generation has good stuff to enjoy. Its given me a whole lot of fun music to play with and love and hasn't done me wrong yet. :3 Is everything for ME personally? Well, no. But it doesn't have to be for me to be good. And so far SOMETHING generally is, if I look.

If not, they really missed a step there.

Seriously, the story of him leaving his skull was a LEGEND in the theatre world before anyone had the guts to take him up. I remember my Elizabethan acting troupe and just how stoked they were about it. It was entirely 'props to that guy' and 'I wish I was them.' Frankly, insulting to not use him.

‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Wow... well, yet another reason not to fall to the Dark Side of the Force. If it does that to you when you're three years younger than me...

I mean yes, there's bread...and sausage and apples and herbs and butter and chicken or turkey stock, this year chicken because we got a turkey roast rather than whole bird and wouldn't have enough from it to make it. It's delicious, honestly, we make it a few other times a year just because yum.

I mean, you aren't listing any bad things on your side... while...well...

The other side's basically a death cult dragging us all into an early grave. Not really seeing any upsides to sacrificing us all on the altar of money for the plutocrats.

Yeah, the BBC seems to be the Bigotry Broadcasting Corporation currently, especially when it comes to trans issues. But also a whole lot of other things, too.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

This, yes. He couldn't care less about covering for Epstein at this point, just downplaying his role there. Covering his own crimes, very much yes. But he's also an entitled idiot, so there's quite a lot of crimes he thinks are just 'his just deserved whatever' so... yeah. It's disgusting.
