Nazi punks fuck off for sure but I'd love for nazis who like other types of music and ones who don't like music at all to also fuck off

Sigh. Let my son play Minecraft on my computer because it was on a shared server with his friends... but that meant I didn't have access to my 30 day song challenge list. And it's bedtime. So... tomorrow morning I do tonight and tomorrow evening is tomorrow...

The king comment was a joke. The salute was a joke. The claims of no more elections are a joke. The calls to deport all immigrants are jokes. The racism is a joke. The transphobia is a joke. The misogyny is a joke. Almost like they tell us everything is a joke to stop us reacting.

Missed a day, dammit. 30 Day Song Challenge (times 3) Day 24 - By a band you wish were still together: Oyster edition. I don't want to wish away Ray Cooper's solo career, which I love, or diss Adrian, who's well capable, but there's something about this line-up that still works intensely well.

Keith Haring’s Silence=Death was painted in 1988, the year he was diagnosed with AIDS. The Pink Triangle referred to the badges worn by gay men in concentration camps. It reflected the US Government’s long silence on AIDS. 24,559 Americans died of AIDS before Reagan publicly referred to the disease.

When I gathered the courage to tell my mother that I was her daughter, not her son, she simply said: "I have suspected so, ever since you were born." "Why?" "I was cursed when expecting you. A demon would take my firstborn son." "And?" "It came, looked at you and said 'Nah'." #CrossRepost

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.
