PRICE CHANGES IN US GOODS, SERVICES AND WAGES FROM 1997 - 2017

ukpol, nhs, hrt 

2 months ago my prescription was late.
Last month they could only partially fulfil the prescription.
This month they can't fulfil it at all.

If you should encounter a tory, punch them right in the face on my behalf. If enough of us punch tories there won't be any more tories.

When you constantly spread lashon hara about the people whose lives you used to be a part of, for your folly, your prize is being cursed with nothing but thralls and nobody to nurture your soul.

re: Stepping on frogpond landmines, genocide mention 

Moreover, getting into the weeds about the difference between a racist and a fascist is pointless, because I don't have the energy to differentiate between two flavours of scumbag when the end result is that they both want me and every one of my race dead in shallow unmarked mass graves.

Also, why the fuck is this a sticking point for you? What is the endgame of this?

Stepping on frogpond landmines 

Do be careful about platforming arguments that resemble tone-policing with the phrases like "this is how you push people to the right!"

Because this is exactly 8Chan cryptofascist tactics used to demoralize the left's efforts to call out fascism and other oppressive ideologies.

broke: letting people change their name cause they get married

woke: letting people change their name because they're trans and have a real name

bespoke: letting people change their names because tbh trans or not you should just be able to change your name whenever you feel like it i literally cannot comprehend why this is a problem

news media 

looking at the TV in the airport and seeing some commercial for a news show, with big letters saying STAY UPDATED STAY INFORMED

and i had the epiphany that news media is peddling an unhealthy standard of informedness kinda like how beauty commercials peddle unhealthy body standards

that's all it is. the main difference is just which insecurity they prey on

Anyways, it's Monday so that means it's #MusicMonday! Here's a thing I've been working on this weekend! Still just a collection of ideas and not really a whole song, but I like these ideas so far!

Re:Yesterday's Fediverse Dustup involving racists attacking PlayVicious 

So, after sleeping on it, I think the best takeaway from this is that, calling someone out directly for missteps is important, but it has to come from a place of wanting progress. We're all products of an oppressive society, sometimes we carry some of their spores unintentionally, and sometimes even fleas from the ways it has abused us and beaten us down.

I think it was good that Are0h was called out for accidentally misgendering, it's important that we all understand the importance of mindfullness among trans people so that we don't accidentally trample on the toes of our more vulnerable.

It is also good that he has taken responsibility and acknowledged that he messed up, as well as pledged to do better. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but I have known him long enough that I have faith in him. And it is important to be magnanimous about it when people take responsibility and try to do better.

What you shouldn't do, is do exactly what the folks attacking him and Playvicious are doing, using racial slurs, and spreading lashon hara, and trying to black-jacket him for his missteps. I am all for holding people's feet to the fire for their mistakes until they acknowledge it and take responsibility.

However, I will condemn you for repeating the same actions that Pyretta and co have done, because what they did also hurts other racial minorities, people who are socially vulnerable and their own cause. And this helps nobody.

re: Trans Crowdfunding, asking for medical assistance 

Update! She has reached the bar for getting diagnosis, she may need more for prescription and medication, but the predicament is going to be alleviated somewhat.

Thank you dearly to all those who donated. You may have saved someone's life. <3

Trans Crowdfunding, asking for medical assistance 

Hey, I don't normally do this but, a close friend of mine is suffering from a wolf spider bite and the flu, and has developed pneumonia. She is still $130 short of being able to see a doctor. If she doesn't get help soon, she might die. If you're able to chip anything, that would be greatly appreciated : paypal.me/LucinaRose

Subtoot about marshmallows 

You say your unwelcome and mendacious opinions are irrelevant, but you decided it was important to express anyway, and then follow it up on a shitposting tagent about roast marshmallows and spaghetti sauce enemas.

The fact that you are able to view this very real ass serious intersectional conversation with bemusement and casually lie about it to no consequence to your conscience is very much indicative of the kind of privileged actions I'd expect from a white cis person like yourself.

And yet you wear our POC and trans values around like an expensive mink coat, while falsely painting us as a transphobic mob. Bitch, you're fake as fuck.
