Not coping so good right now. Not responding to messages and getting upset that the only person I tried to contact this week didn't respond to me. Getting pissed at the lack of logic in my headspace.

My position on the idea of left wing echo chambers is, I think it'd be a good idea.

I'm sincerely asking, can everyone at the German foreign ministry smell toast? This is beyond deranged.

Cannot stress how much every surviving German and Italian and Spaniard who opposed the rise of fascism and survived until the fall of their respective regimes said the same thing: "We didn't fight them hard enough on the streets"

Survived my government mandated harassment, aka universal credit, appointment. Made my advisor laugh with my definition of customer service, being paid a pittance to take abuse for policy you have no power to change.

Sharing this because the article is both compelling and, as someone who's had to deal with people close to me going through delusions, absolutely terrifying.

Friendly reminder that the soft launch of these authoritarian tactics in contemporary times* happened in 2000s Detroit, Flint, New Orleans, and elsewhere. What Noem is talking about in California's fast tracking what they've been doing for a while. * - see Wilmington, NC 1898 & elsewhere.

Not doing good. I don't want sympathy. I don't want anything much other than to Feel less. I have to show face for my government mandated harassment tomorrow (aka appointment with my Universal Hardship "advisor".

Had a horrible interaction yesterday which ended up with a group of teenage boys following me down the road throwing stones at me. Don't think I'll be able for anything I had planned today. No advice please.

He’s right in the opposite way he intends. A government cannot function when it loses the consent of those it governs. Government should try not to do that.

One of the most extreme anti-LGBTQ propagandists has been banned from TikTok. Her rallys have attracted far right Nazis & her messaging has been so extreme that various social media have banned her. Do report other anti-LGBTQ extremists when you can! Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

they lied during the height of COVID when they abandoned the city and booked it out of town promising not to return. THEY ALWAYS COME BACK.

Hey just so we’re clear - DOGE accessed and stole all of our data, gave it to Palantir, and now ICE is partnered with Palantir in order to track all of us Palantir is run by evil billionaire Peter Thiel. Truly, scarily evil.

I think it's worth noting that the anti-trans shift in UK media started after White Feminists got upset at WoC trying to to call them in over racism in feminist organising. Trans people stood in solidarity with WoC and the Nice White Ladies™ realised we made a much easier target.

The painful lesson we seem intent on learning about immigrants, trans people, and every other group on the planet this administration is that there is no “ruthlessly punish the meanies, uggos, and other people who make me uncomfortable and only them at scale without doing anything scary” button.

Rather than encouraging staff to resign for caring about human life - how about Labour MPs who have watched this happen & tried to silence dissent lose their seats instead?

Well, I realised why my head is so utterly borked today. It is the fourth anniversary of Nila's death. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the news reaching me.

Sooo...I went for a lie down, to try and regulate my mental state, woke up 4 hours later feeling grumpy and depressed. So...that didn't work the way I'd hoped.

I had had plans to do stuff today: go to yarn and fiber group, go to gym and maybe buy myself a treat. Now i need to reschedule or delay some payments and I am Annoyed. Today can get in the sea.

I fucking hate Universal Credit. The payment days moving from fortnightly on the same day of the week to specific dates out of the month is messing with my schedule. I expected pennies today but they're not due til Monday.

It is deeply concerning that NHS England took a full year to respond, only to ultimately claim they do not hold the papers from the Cass Review. Therefore, I will respectfully ask the court to seize these documents directly from Hilary Cass—if they still exist and have not been destroyed.

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

Getting my finger out and starting to work on drawing something i've been ruminating on for a while now. This actually feels like Something Important, depending on how it works out of course.

since it’s pride and I just got a bunch of new followers let’s keep the rent low by firing some shots in the air - if someone wants to transition at any age for any reason that’s their business 👍🏳️‍⚧️

better yet, consider unsubscribing from HBO/Max the week before her show comes out (& if you rejoin, wait until the HP season is over). it's not enough to not watch it – HBO needs to know it will hurt their bottom line if they continue producing it

Give your money to trans people. What the fuck else are you doing with it?? You could literally be a hot slut's Medici and instead you're buying garbage you don't need off Amazon. Get your priorities straight and make an actual difference in the world.

for the extra Medici cred, commission trans artists to make sick drawings of you dunking on ur enemies
