Alkali gathered some friends to discuss the finer points of social distancing, but it turned into pure sizeplay trash as it's almost certainly going to every time they get together.

The nature of power is to amass more power and become tyranny.
The purpose of civil governments is to prevent tyranny by keeping power from consolidating in the hands of too few people or institutions.
Money is power.

My abusive family officially kicked me & my stuff the curb, but I'm safe @ friends' place.
Every donation helps cover relocating/food.
Each kind word does wonders to heal.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

something scientists don't want you to know: if you boop the snoot and touch the tail at the same time, your rabbit takes a screenshot

Southern history is indelibly tied to the slavery of black Americans for hundreds of years; dehumanization and disenfranchisement that is still being practiced TODAY.
What...is there to like? I don't see how someone who says that isn't willfully overlooking this.
And I don't want to dunk on @/foxmusk; I don't know him, and I'm willing to take his comments at face value.
But..."liking" your Southern history is a flag to me. Southern history is one of racist terror, subjugation, dehumanization, willful, violent, malicious bigotry.
This has big "I'm not a Nazi, I just like the uniforms OK????" energy.
Not to Godwin this whole thing or anything, but...part of growing as a person is learning to let go of the problematic shit you identified with in ignorance

I like my southern history and I like the flag. I recognize that’s complicated for people who weren’t raised around it. A lot of us were, and that importance won’t change. We can talk about it or we can not, but I’m not sorry and I’m still not the closet racist people think I am.
In addition to everything else yesterday, last night I found out they've done a reboot of "All Creatures Great and Small". Seriously excited to completely BLISS OUT with the adventures of a charming country veterinarian and his quirky clientele this weekend

We have to learn to let go of ego and let ourselves be held accountable intersectional liberatory values by each other, and we have to learn to pace ourselves so that we don't burn out and also so that our movements are accessible to people operating at different capacities.

The watchwords for left organizing now need to be "sustainable" & "accountable."
The antifascist left has been in emergency mode for so long, we need to re-learn how to live when only *some* things are on fire.
And the rest of the left... really needs to learn accountability.

But I still think about the people who've been swept up in this fascist insanity, all of our family and friends and neighbors. I hope there's eventually a way to repair those relationships, or forge new ones, when those people own up to all of their horrific words and deeds.
I know I can't bring myself to really think about it still. I'm still so angry and so sad about what's happening. The most empathetic response I can muster is giving them a wide berth. I hope they figure their shit out, but I'm not interested in helping them do it.
Nervous about posting this, because people confuse empathy with forgiveness or unity. But it's not.
It's imagining yourself in their position, dangling from a cliff with no one to blame but yourself, and thinking how you would want to be treated in that situation.
