Not naming any names. Just defining terms. We choose the kind of society we want.

This is how you make life fun. Modern existence doesn't need to be boring or routine. The more you engage intellectually the more you will find life fascinating.

One of the reasons I have an allergic reaction to the mainstream news:

#Climatecrisis #FuckOligarchy #antiwar #NoWar #DoNotObey #StopCorruption #climateaction #antiAuthoritarian #solidarity #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist #STOPChristianNationalism #SaveOurDemocracy #organize

These are important things, but no individual can do them all effectively. And that's ok. Pick something and really do it. Organize it. Make sure others can join in easily. That's the real leverage.

These are true and scientifically documented, even if phrased lyrically. It's in lyrical reframing that beauty and meaning can come from everyday life and struggle. The Earth is worth protecting.

When the United States was most prosperous, we had relatively high taxes on corporations and the extremely wealthy. Causal link. Equity means each pays their share according to means.

Once long ago when fleas were barbers and people didn't freak out about a few extra words and instead just appreciated the entertainment of a story...

Absolutely full-proof method. I can attest that it works really well when submitting applications to key writing opportunities. If you check your work AFTER submitting it, you will find the errors that hid while you edited it ten times.

Even as a kid, I knew something was up because they didn't want me in school, since I was legally blind, and they were mean to brown kids. I always knew that "justice for all" part was something we would have to keep fighting for.

This has to be said because there are a lot of people out there confused about how to write dialogue and it gives people headaches. Keep it simple and let the actual content of the story shine.

The same applies to every marginalized group that has ever gained rights. Those with systemic power never open their societies to include those excluded unless they are forced. It might be time to reconsider power dynamics.

They're also the places most people think would be nice to move to--clean, safe streets, beautiful and full of community life. That's because desperation leads to a lot of problematic human behavior.

Tax billionaires out of being billionaires. It's the dramatic rise in worker productivity over the past 50 years that has created billionaires. All of that money belongs to the people. It was stolen in the first place. No one became a billionaire honestly. No one. #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #justice

Keep moving. Keep eating and showering and doing all the things that must be done. Look up when you can and find a spot of beauty or some little reason for gratitude. Be steadfast.

The harsh dismissal when someone mentions hardships, lack of #healthcare, need for better #education for their kids, etc.:"Get a better job."

But someone has to do that #job. If they're doing a needed job they shouldn't have to work their way up to basic needs.

The fundamental difference between a free society and #authoritarianism is the ability to question those is power. As a #parent, I never once used the phrase "because I said so." From the smaller unit of #authority (parent) to the greatest, power must be #accountable to questioning.

definitely experience #exulansis around #parenting a kid with #FASD/FAE. Even professionals who study it all their lives don't really get it. But any parent or adoptive parent who has gone through it 24/7 knows. If you had a shift and got to go home, you do not know.

As funny as these are, I do notice that they are all men. I wonder if these were actually insults, or rather, good old boys ribbing each other. They feel safe, as if there's no social penalty for the one delivering the burn or for the one receiving it.

I always read a few right-wing posts to try to understand how 33% of #Americans can still support this regime. It doesn't feel like the nation is divided. It feels like a third of our nation has been kidnapped by a cult of obvious lies and willful twisting of reality.

You've seen the "Signs of Fascism." Now it's time for the "Signs of Freedom." It is essential that we not only know what we are fighting against but what we're fighting for.

The nuances in these sayings are the point. Agreeing with others does not make one smarter. Curiosity is actually a good thing. And a real patriot works to improve their nation and cares about its people.

We are a nation of freedom as long as enough of us are willing to stand up and demand it. Our country may be stolen by tyrants, but if we keep our minds free they never truly win. Ge and be the hope. Show any deluded ones only love, firm resolve and safety.

Young people who were about to go to college, patients with chronic illnesses who can't get medication, mothers with toddlers who can't sleep from the noise and fumes... The people being bombed had everyday lives.

The thing about writers is that we actually enjoy discussing the nuanced meanings of words. Yup, this is supposed to be fun.

ICE detention camps already fulfill the international definition of concentration camps. Now they're working on fulfilling the definition of "death camps"-inadequate food, unhealthy conditions, rampant disease, lack of medical care, etc.

The history of our era will be written as a time when people were very afraid of the wrong things.

#Oil, #gas and #coal are easily controlled by dictators. Base your society on them, and that's what you get. Base your civilization on decentralized, free #energy from the #sun and #wind, and the whole structure of society changes. That's why they're so scared of it.
