"the world is broken on purpose", as @Ratttz just put it, is the defining revelation that seems to separate radicals and liberals, and which makes political discussions with liberals so frustrating. technocratic fiddles around the edges, tax credits and school lunches, are not liberatory.

hey, new masto users: go ahead and follow everyone you want! and then unfollow later if you want, too. it's okay to follow someone and then decide you don't want or need to see them in your home TL. (especially if you're seeing them in the local or federated TLs and not interacting with them much personally). your new TLs will be hopping with activity, and it's okay if you're overwhelmed and need to pare down, or if you just don't connect with someone. don't take unfollows personally :)

Stuff what Electric Keet says 

"I need clickbait articles like I need a hole in the head... and now I'm getting spam for trepanning services."

I'm kinda over these stories of people being forced to go to extremes to survive under capitalism (like the story about the Lyft driver taking a job while they were in labor) being passed of as "inspirational"

Oh goodness. XD

proposing "restricted health care" to name any health care system that is not universal. (americans don't like "universal" things but they HATE being restricted)

Jesus was a gamer. How do I know?

Died in a t-pose. Respawned. Clipped into the skybox.

in one hand: glowing orb with swirling text that reads "pridefest was essentially a state fair with better music, a smattering of queer activism and a dope craft fair"

in the other: another glowing orb that reads "pridefest is sellout bullshit designed for straight people to gawk at while eating carnival food and feeling better about themselves"

i smash the orbs together to attempt to fuse them into one complex opinion. sparks fly. ozone crackles. my hands melt the fuck off

awoo.space - social justice 

This is not Twitter. This is not Tumblr. You have power here, but it isn't through mob power like it has historically had to be.

I promise we *will* listen and take you seriously if you have a problem and bring it to us. If we disagree that it is a problem- at least we will have had a conversation instead of "After reviewing this message, Twitter decided fuck you".

Thank you very much for being here. I appreciate it.

Actionably useful test: if you say something and the only possible responses are to comfort you or sound like a gigantic asshole, you're asking for emotional labor.

It's something I for one need to be a lot more conscious of, especially with the people closest to me.

(this is not a subtoot of anyone or anything, promise)
