Is Biden/Harris the /best/ ticket?

No.

Will Biden/Harris put me in a reeducation/labor/death camp just for being black/trans/queer/Vocally critical of the government? Cheer on racists and pedophiles?

Maybe not? But fucking cosmos I would rather have maybe not over 45's "Fuck yes, twice! As soon as I can get the chance! MAGA!"

@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online Yuuuuup!

10 things muttered to myself at the Crossroads:

1. These streets don't need you! They're already paved with the black off boy's skin, torn there from his knees when a fat pig fell from a great blue tower in a thin ballistic line and landed on his neck.

2. These streets don't want you!
They''re already painted with the hot summer's fresh new red paint, splashed out in an ballistic line of racism 450 years old and only 9 millimeters wide, what a bridge to be carried over by 6 to be dropped 6.

3. When they carry me over, bury me face down so all you MOTHERFUCKERS can KISS MY BLACK ASS ONE LAST TIME. And fold my hand up between my thighs, letting my extended middle finger point up toward the stars through my rough backside -road in a digital chocolate ballistic line like an Atlas 5 taking off to point the way.

4. Let the ESSENCE of the world who fucked me come leaking out over MY fresh claws. Let it be the creamy white center between the dark cookie moons and show me for the wonderful snack I was, BEFORE I got twisted open. Before I got dunked on and into; Putting vanilla frosting on the outside and the inside so I can finally be the OREO those boys called me.

5. When is the devil getting here? Just like a tar heel to be stuck on the ground and making me wait. Waste my time on his contracts. and schedules, and his deadlines.

6. Say my name. #SayHerName. Hash Tag, Bodybag, dag, man. Like, how're you supposed to get over it, when the blood river has been flowing for so long, and keeps getting wider ever year, eroding away the shore on both sides until the whole world-
banks are starting to col-
laspe into silence like a still heart of-
Darkness is WHO I AM.

7. The historical trajectory of my life is an unstable, broken ballistic line back through time from Seattle to San Jose to Plymouth to Cleveland to Plymouth again to Cleveland again, to Plymouth again, to Golden Valley, to St. Louis Park when Mothership Doctor Debora Lynn Brooks-Golden (so much Culture) released me for my acceptance trials. Her line goes back to Cleveland and then back through her mothership to Tennessee. And I don't really know where it goes from there. Maybe further south. Might've gone east.

8. We were headed north, though. Following the Drinking Gourd to freedom. Away from I don't even know and can't even imagine, to Uncle Shot's tobacco farm through World War 2 and the Air National Guard, and the East End Barber shop and Antioch and Glenville and booksellers and Case's Sci-Fi Film festival where my mothership and fathershuttle had some of their first matched orbits.

9. I used to want to be on these streets before I knew who they had paved over. I wanted to be outside with the little black boys and girls, screaming in the fire-hydrants, dancing their dances, dancing their hands, skipping their ropes,playing their ball, listening to their music and speaking the sweetest, wettest, ear-tickling flow a girl could enjoy, smoothing and blending and REMIXing the worst possible language into something beautiful and moving just in how easily it could hold a child's joy. The scream of 10 black kids running after an ice cream truck just hit different.

10. Seriously where the fuck is he? I got all his baggage on my back, in my pancreas, inside my mind. Soon as he whips out that fiddle, Im finna beat his ass with it. Maybe he can follow the lines in this road.

@Soreth @Doephin I'm fairly certain that Tobias's hawk was a boy when they all acquired morphs from her vet clinic (what a great writing device, a ready made bank of materiel that has every reason to be constantly shifting as needed)

@Doephin shame. Would've been nice to see. Especially when I was younger.

I'm surprised that morphing an animal of a different gender never came up.

IFF. Identify Friend/Foe

Pronoun buttons. Fandom Patches. Campaign Ribbons. Con Badges. Anyone remember fandom codes, or are all you too young for that shit?

Who's side are YOU on?

I know me and my friends are on the same side, we got our badges done by the same artist on a group buy and we picked them up at our last con together before Kitty had kids and Husky got sick and Dragon became a hashtag, and Foxy had to move back in with her parent cause she lost her job.

My work buddies are on the same team, we all have the same shirt, given to us by Uncle Jeff, and whenever we feel insolent and mistreated by work, its not surprising to see more than one of us in a gray t-sirt that brands us "Essential" on our chests, right where our hearts are supposed to be while our badges hang like yokes around our necks.

You're not on my side, your Fallout patch isn't in the first row on your chest, right where everyone looks first because who looks at faces anymore?

You're not on their side, I don't see a badge, or a flag pin on your lapel, and nothing about you screams Security. Or Immigration. Or racist, or sexist, or rapist, or President*cough*Donald*cough*all 3*cough*Trump*cough*

I can't judge you by your clothes I don't want to know enough about them to be able to. Fuck those people that do.

_I_,

don't judge you by the color of your skin. I listen closely to your voice so I can parse your words, not place your accent, and I beg your patience if I have to ask you to repeat yourself. Your words are lovely and I only wanted to hear them again so I could understand you better. Doesn't matter where it came from, it's beautiful and yours and FUCK any one who tells you otherwise! I have problems hearing through some, but that's not on you, that's on me and my triflin' ears.

This person likes the same game I like. That person is wearing a shirt with the logo on it of a show I fell in love with when I was 5. I'm looking at all you fake-ass Voltron-shirt-at-Target fans only liking shit cause its retro and ironic. Some of us had to pay the Blockbuster for a new VHS when they wore out the VHS tape!

I was so glad when I figured out what actually made someone different. When I figured out the things I could start sorting people by.

Useful delimiters that smooth my anxiety over, gives my socially akward ass common ground, and just, something to talk about, and connect with my fellow human on.

If your colors are Mass Effect Paragon Blue, Steven Universe Pink, Progress Pride and its United Nations-technicolor--rainbow of individual battalions of variations. Queer Villian Pride, Trans Pride, Honda Motorcycles, French Silk Pie. If you rock LP Underground, Torrid, Toonami, #SAYHERNAME,#BLACKGIRLMAGIC,#NOTTODAY. IF YOU WEAR EARS AND A TAIL.

Then I am happy to see you and change your marker on my mini map from Unknown Yellow to friendly Green

When I walk down the street, and my sensors pick up a hostile, I know how to adjust my flight path, and how to cover my own codes so that I don't end up on the MIA list.

Because those white sheets, and red hats, and precinct badges, and red ties, and flag pins on lapels, and Stars&Bars booty shorts on your gay cousin Cletus that actually look cute on his inbred ass but you can't say anything outloud at the swamper's family reunion cause you can't make things awkward in front of your Uncle Vlad the grand wizard from Moscow, Mississippi.

Didn't walk out of the house on their own.

@shaderphantom Makes it easier for them to fit streams through the internet slow lanes cause they killed Net Neutrality.

@Aradia Can you explain this one? My experiences of service entrances is they are specially sized to let larger and heavier things inside, and are usually where the cargo/freight elevators are.

Yeah, fuck work, the river tribe and all of Uncle Jeff's money. I'm watching black girls on Button Poetry and feeling my soul fill back up.

@PK Hmm, nah. Joe is a means to an end, not someone I want to show support for.

@mawr maybe make them out of foam instead of polyfill so they can hold shape better?

@zx3 **hugs in giant robot**

@Soreth I had to re-read this a few times to pick out the alliteration you were talking about, and yeah, that was very, very sweet. And completely intentional. 😇

dammit, I'm really proud of this one.

@Azure My DnD character Spark is conceptualizing a way of painting fights that can be read like sheet music to express the beauty she finds in combat. And when the scroll gets fed into a music synthesizer, a song will come out that recreates the fight.

She calls those scrolls her Beats.
