One year and 2 weeks sober.

If you, smug liberal, dismiss “hillbillies” in red states or say that people in the South deserve natural disasters, you are a classist racist asshole and you should be ashamed of yourself and your life choices. Hope that helps

I was recently asked if I needed to update anything from this triage list I proposed two weeks after the election for how to best protect non-citizens through what we knew was coming. Honestly, not really. It's all been pretty much as expected, if a little faster. A few notes though:

Let me get this right. Immigrants of color speaking out against genocide are "antisemitic" but a white American man setting fire to Jewish family's house on Passover *while they are in it* has no "obvious motive"?

Yep. The narrative is “we are kicking out criminals,” and they don’t care if the “criminals” are grad students who got a speeding ticket. They seriously appear to be running some kind of script that runs foreign students against law-enforcement databases and auto-terminates if there’s a match.

Every time I do this, it's even more bonkers. This time, it's A Rush Of Blood To The Head In My Ass.

I'm watching the rest of that new Titanic documentary, and I deeply wish it was an Irish or UK production instead of American. They do everything so dramatically here, adding supposition and emotive acting where none is necessary. It makes it sensational.

It's fun being an immigrant because you will say something that is 100% accurate to your experience and people will still tell you what you mean.

To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

I have the car payment. I still need $150 for my storage by tomorrow. Please share. Anything helps. #MutualAidBoost
