Fondly reminescing abt my prized studded belt when I was young. Saved up a long time to get one, wore it till it fell apart. 🥲 Early days of getting interested in counterculture and subcultures, it was so exciting. Good times.

Reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin. Fascinating read. Some stuff in it is dated (the book was written in the 70s) but a lot of it is really ahead of its time (insofar as social norms of today, though the concepts do predate the book)

A few years ago people were evacuated from a place I used work because after a shooting. Some of them fled to the nearby mall- where another (unrelated) shooting happened.

My mother would be relieved to know I don't consider myself so much a Socialist anymore. She'd be displeased to know I've moved even further left now. I wish she'd just listen instead of talk angrily over me when try to explain Billionaires do not remotely earn/deserve their $

I'm more mad that oil/car companies were allowed to stifle all alternatives to oil/cars so they could price gouge us more than I'm mad that they're price gouging us. That's my 2¢ If we had other choices we wouldn't be held hostage to their prices in the first place, just sayin

I need everyone to understand RW/fash rhetoric has become subtle deliberately, it's a strategy to normalize their ideology + recruit people, as well as give themselves a "benefit of the doubt" buffer by using dog whistles & more obscure symbols. m.youtube.com/watch?v=04QolI…

An assistant chief with a police department in Washington displayed a Nazi symbol on his office door and now the city of Kent will pay Derek Kammerzell over $1.5 million just to get him to resign. This is the state of American policing. Put up a Nazi symbol, become a millionaire.

This neighborhood in Bologna, Italy grew a dense urban forest using one weird trick — traffic engineers hate them

BNN United States None of these, actually

Gonna take a hiatus from here. Many of you are amazing wonderful people & share great stuff, I just need time away from the negativity here, there's enough anguish & pain IRL for me to process. Gonna work on my art, when I return I might share some stuff. Stay awesome, comrades.
