First they came for the federal employees, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a federal employee ... You know the rest of the poem. Act accordingly.

My next article is written, set and scheduled to go live Monday morning on World-Weary! It'll be nice and light, nothing to worry about. Unless you're concerned about the potential dangers brought by vaccine skepticism and medical misinformation having a foothold in the White House.

Honestly, what the fuck is it going to take? People- they aren't trolling. It's not joking around to 'own the libs.' You're laughing at Nazi salutes that they are normalizing, and you're so fucking propagandized that you're willing to pretend it's fine. Get a grip. They're fucking Nazis.

TFW your basement neighbour puts an Adderall-fuelled psychopath in charge of their home, and he right away starts pounding on the ceiling/floor and shouting up "YOU GOT NICE STUFF!!! YOU SHOULD TO GIVE ME ALL YOUR STUFF!!!" and you're like, ugh, now I got THIS to deal with.

This is a question that everyone in the United States should be asking in the face of the MAGA movement. Bonus points if you ask your MAGA-supporting relatives what they think. What truly makes a country great? #politics #trump #blog #writingcommunity www.world-weary.com/p/what-makes...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Resisting a fascist takeover requires a united effort. The administration is targeting marginalized communities to exploit their vulnerability. We need to act in solidarity, and that means we need to act with intersectionality in mind. #politics #trump open.substack.com/pub/samw1368...

'Tis Valentine's Day, a day my partner and I use as an excuse to get takeout and cuddle up on the couch. Neither of us is big on huge romantic gestures, and neither of us is a fan of the pressure of a big corporate cash-grab holiday. It's a lazy day, and we like it that way!

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Why do citizens support atrocities? Why did the people of Germany not act against the Nazis and stop the Holocaust? Why are Americans going along with Trump's acts now? Remember the frog in a pot of boiling water? #politics #trump #blog #writingcommunity www.world-weary.com/p/we-need-to...

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Perhaps if he had not spent so much time playing video games so that he could be the #1 video game player he would know that the answer to this question is "All of them."

Every so often I take a glance at the Conservative side of Reddit, and dear gods, it physically hurts me how out of touch some of them are. The most narrow-minded 'everything has a simple answer,' 'if I don't understand it, it's not real'—shit I've seen. They still think jobs are easy to get.

I'm getting back into a steady posting groove now, publishing a few days a week about human rights, progressive political ideas and the state of the world today. Yes, I'm tired. We all are. But we keep fighting anyway. Solidarity wins. www.world-weary.com?r=237o7j&utm...

I published an article on Substack about our unjust prison systems in Canada and the United States. I talked about how prison works, how it traumatizes people and sets them up to fail when they leave, and how it could be reformed. Is it going to happen? Not while Donald Trump is running things.
