re: mocking capitalism/game maker 

@maxine Patreon is a sinking ship that's in debt to Thrive, a financial investment corp under Joshua Kushner. Like $60 million, expected to make money back?

It's gonna get real skeevy real fast

re: warframe Petz 

@irisjaycomics That is a pet to be dang proud of.

money and class differences, society, right wing mention 

Being exposed to different people, makes you more open.

That's also why right-wing are so hellbent on controlling who you talk to, by tactics of injecting fear.

If you don't know people, who struggle, you don't know their struggles and can believe theories about those struggles (that are usually wrong)

If you know people, that struggle, you are more likely obligated to help them (aka: empathy) and lose resources.

Bought an old camera a few months back, discovered the previous owner had forgotten a roll of film in there. Got it developed and scanned, and it looks like these pics were taken in the 70s, then forgotten in the desert heat and super degraded. They're vaporwave as fuck.

Not saying it's the *center* of anything, but there's an awful lot of evangelical-based, "second-coming"-based fellowships, military schools, private schools, anti-drug boot camps, etc. that all seem to point in bad directions and people who are more or less aligned in certain ways but don't know each other others.

Rosicrucian Fellowship, btw, believe in a "Second Coming", and have a whole thing about willing into action. Also liked triangles a lot.

Also kinda weird how much the Eye of Providence looks like depictions of the Evil Eye in wards.

And is somehow jammed into a lot of stuff, like Russian Orthodox depictions.

Even then, now I got 11 hours of twitter silence except DMs.

I still got here, though.

Hey, everything is fucked, innit? Anyways, I got ideas where the occult meet a lot of the way things are fucked up (especially eclectic Christian ideas of supremacy -- esoteric Christian organizations like Rosicrusian, etc.), and here's a connection for you: Isn't it creepy that the Ghostbusters cartoon just got altered so quickly?

Doing so well, in comes this Q5 focus group. "Family friendly!"

They forced me to delete it, and THEN they would start the timer.

They required my consent to delete the tweet, they didn't cross the boundary of deleting it for me, but they forced me to delete it if I could access my twitter account.

In the real world, wisdom makes a terrible dump stat.

Other interests:
German Texans, pretty much any history to do with Texas. Including archaeological "paleoindian" Texas

(You know, I don't know why archaeology still uses the word "Indian" in its academic language)

Show thread

My specialties are:

History (Major)

Archaeology (Minor)

Literature (Interest, erratic but semi-broad)

Cinema, German cinema, some Foreign cinema (Interest, erratic but relatively broad)

Some Video Game History

Mythologies, cross-comparisons, & personal theory of theology

breaking down History & Archaeology:

Mesoamerican archaeology
Some evolutionary biology (not an expert, but can look things up)
Chinese history, particularly Qing Dynasty China, and a broad understanding of overall China

SO! I had the bright idea to offer selling my labor for trade/money, at pro bono
"donate if you want to, but at least spread the word" rates.

I would rather try to earn my bread and butter with research for people that deserve it.

I can't exactly do all the research myself and prepare a huge report, but I can certainly gather you materials, summarize some points I saw, highlight things I feel are important to look into, assemble quick key words.

(Cont:)

Idea: Protect squatters.

Make it clear that they can live in the area they have for themselves.

Build up those communities.

Child abuse, indoctrination, militarization in the United States: Gateway Military School, Abuse 

I randomly look up a Christian military school for troubled teens, look for an abuse story, easy to find. healthland.time.com/2012/11/13

Show thread

I know SEVERAL PEOPLE who have been THREATENED with military school for noncompliance, or put through it!!!!

Presumably the guards don't want to stay there forever, and then they will go onto other things. Well, where? What other jobs do they take up?

Show thread

So imagine this: The person hiring on to be the guard can put "Guard for Tierra Blanca" on his resume, and suddenly has "years of experience" in his field.

The children are brought up in a culture of repression & learn nothing else, families put them in military & police
