To be fair, that's basically all Children's Catechism is, or at least it was back in 90s when I was going through it. Maybe that's changed!

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

What we’d see if the swing in MTG’s district happened nationwide. Which it won’t be, not uniformly, but a hell of a goal to aim for.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

I am the kind of relieved where I feel like I'm going to throw up. Probably because even while I'm relieved I'm still scared shitless and feverishly angry.

We must not become less of ourselves in the face of annihilation. We must hold to who we are, hold tight to our joys. i came into this world dead, grey and silent. I shall go out of strange, full of love and wondrous curiosity. I shall go a fully-grown changeling with a kiss of intent on my lips.

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

"One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on the land is quite visible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise" quote by Aldo Leopold

Vance is actually an ideological fascist in a way Trump isn’t, but he doesn’t have the charisma, base, willpower, or allies Trump has.

He can be much more easily dislodged than Trump can be, & on down it goes. They don’t have a bench — when Trump’s pillar crumbles, their whole movement crumbles.

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers,

in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt"

This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on

As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

A sheer war crime. This is one of the premier universities in the field of civil engineering in the world. Absolutely inexcusable, and it is likely to lead to retaliation in the region in kind. And all for no reason.

Two pictures of the pillsbury dough boy: once is on a purple background with the caption “he is risen! happy Easter!”, and the other is tan and brown, similar to a cracker, on a white background saying “he is not! Happy Passover!”

It's not "they want to segregate trans people like they did Black people."

It's "they want to segregate Black people again, and trans people are the trial balloon, and that's why the arguments are essentially the same."

When I learned that we were headed into a swamp, I'd pictured something out of an old storybook -- great trees with hanging curtains of moss, watery bits with crocodiles and dinosaurs. Maybe a hippopotamus or two, gory to the ears with the blood of their latest prey. A cloud drifting through the treetops, soft and rubbery, deluging unsuspecting victims with its deadly rain.

Fiction, obviously. In our enlightened modern age we know that clouds are scientifically impossible (water being heavier than air) and that trees reach heights of only five or six feet rather than towering overhead. Igz'auf Rakan once told me the jury was still out on whether hippos were real, and I've refused to learn more; I liked hippo stories when I was a kid, and it's fun to believe that great gray hyperpredators once roamed the world.
