But on that conflict, I do have to say it's SO California Democrat to essentially take the position "We are entirely opposed to Trump's fascism, which is why we passionately endorse locally sourced fascism with sustainable use-of-force growth goals and artisanal crowd and rabble control. "

I was ranting about that earlier.

Or less US and more UK, Thatcher era, which laid the roots for the absolutely amped up nasty version of transphobia they're going through (and resulting rightwing turns and increasing fallout). There's a long thread for this stuff and lots of the orgs do their best to hide it or confuse it well.

I hate it, but goes back to the sex negative radfem second wave. We saw similar alliances during the Reagan era and immediately following. And it never really went away, infected deep at the root of a lot of anti-exploitation, DV/shelters, and similar orgs. It's a mess. :(

We need to talk a hard look at what kind of social and cultural environment enabled the rise of fascism. And loathe as a lot of people are about it, that includes a whole lot of Democratically controlled areas with viciously authoritarian policies toward minorities, the poor, and the homeless.

It's slowly going. Stalled out a little, but so many are struggling with sales and campaigns right now (or at least undershooting a bit), so I can't take it personal or be mad. Just plugging away and making sporadic progress over time!

Rev how's everything going bike-wise? We close to getting you up and about??
(As for myself, I'm a bit questionable on my medications/vitamins this month. My prescriptions are covered by my insurance, but I'm about $90 short on my OTC stuff. Anyone interested: ko-fi.com/cascavi )

$200 needed by the 15th, then ~$2400 by the end of the month.

$200/$320
Good morning! 🩵 Main need right now is paying off my phone so I can switch to cheaper cell service. By June 28th is best, so autopay doesn't set things back further. Thanks for the space, and to anyone who can help! 😊💚

Shell game a lot of Dems and allies play. Enraging. At best, it's being a sucker. Worse possibility, it's knowingly trying to obscure the real structural problems with a boogeyman. Trump is awful, but not EVERYTHING is his fault. Especially with infamously awful PDs in blue cities in blue states.

It's a mix of sex negative but ostensibly otherwise progressive/feminist folks (many of which end up pipelining into harder right stuff, at least on some points, and/or right-popular conspiracy theories) with the usual suspects of "respectable" (hard on the scare quotes) conservatives.

So, it's one of the those weird rare actual horseshoe things. Which I'd like to say is much rarer in women's rights and services, but sadly is not. Think of it like a mainstream version of the transphobe horseshoe/pipelines. Lots of sex negativity and such. Goes back to second wave activism.

It really surprised me! I had no idea any of my stuff broke containment that much. Then all of a sudden I had an email telling me I was nominated as a finalist!

It's quickly become a part of the TTRPG fam week, so I'm including it in my daily hashtag shout outs. <3

Thanks for mentioning #AskACreator!
Anyone can host a thread with a hashtag. Just tag a couple of TTRPG creators you enjoy and ask them questions about their work! Others will look for your thread and hop on with their own questions.
