Words from a Webcomic, cause I still read em (Character Subtooting USpol on Main) 

From a recent page in Crimson Dark, a really cool 3D webcomci I've had in my feeds so long it feels like its a default. Main character Kari is a veteran with the misfortune of having a combat mission get turned into a series of political events that spiral way past her ability to controll, which ends up conflicting with her ethics because war quickly follows, despite her best efforts to prevent it and save lives. This is being broadcasted to the opposing sides at the same time while they are duty/honor/face/patriotism/motive-bent on destroying each other.

She has a lot on her mind and she is going to give the galaxy a piece of it.

re: ANTI-FA VIRTUAL BLOCK PARTY! CW: USpol Writing prompt 

Unpainted store window plywood has been stolen and left on these convenient stands to hold them upright in both portrait and landscape orientations. It would be a shame if some artists used the nearby supplies to have an impromptu Black Lives Matter graffiti slam.

There is a note saying all the virgin canvas will be returned once it has been properly reclaimed and put to use building portable micro shelters for the currently-houseless, and kittens.

ANTI-FA VIRTUAL BLOCK PARTY! CW: USpol Writing prompt 

There's unlimited space, so make a booth and help us keep fighting the good fight!

In my booth, I provide classes on guillotine construction and safety, and each family leaves with an accurate cut sheet, and a free blade that has "This machine kills fascist" carved into it in a style they pick! I'll make it on my unlicensed pirate CNC table I made from free plans and dumpster-dived parts.

ANTI-FA VIRTUAL BLOCK PARTY! CW: USpol Writing prompt 

Fighting a war on fascism needs funding! Used to be paid for by the FEDS, but got cut for being UNPROFITABLE! So! I'm putting together an anti fascist virtual street fair! 10$ at the door, all proceeds go to our Anti-FA GoFundMe, were we are making progress on meeting the reserve price for our first paid Fascist Assasist! Target to be chosen by AOC-level and higher supporters on Patreon, where you can also get access to our Pride Year Discord

therapy advice 

One of the primary functions of an intake appointment is you interviewing them for a job.

You have issues x and y; are they the practitioner best suited to addressing that for you? Do you hire them as highly-trained specialist labor?

It's a huge reframing from "you coming to them" in a supplicant position.

"the process" isn't voting. it's silencing conservative voices by any means necessary. cancel their shows, ban their speakers, shout them down, physically intimidate them, punch them on camera, and shoot them before they shoot us.

Why I'm falling in love with poetry 

Because of the tears that flow when some poet pulls words out of my head and my heart.

Because of the laughter that gets stolen out of me when something I know to be true gets said out-loud

Because I can get called out the loudest, and seen the clearest, in the same 3 minutes, and I love that efficiency.

Because I can see people like me, and more importantly, people NOT like me, be taken seriously, and believed without commentary (except for response poems)

Because titles like "Ode to my Strap-on" "They Day You Died Because you Wanted To", and "Lessons Learned from a Third Grader" are all beautiful, for different reasons, that are all valid.

Because when I make my own, I don't need a beat from a producer (though sometimes it helps!)

Because hearing feedback and encouragement and audience participation reminds me of church growing up

Because I gave up on church and I don't get to hear "c'mon, now" spoken by a black lady anymore.

Because Poetry is as diverse as I want the world to be.

Kids born on 9/11 get to legally toast their birthdays in 2 years. They got to join the war on terror two years ago.

Never Forget forced the world to live continuously with trauma, which is probably why we can't seem to get over fear anymore.

Sending this to Seattle Parks and Rec's open comment email address. If you're in the Seattle Area and feel like having a safe space for everyone to enjoy swimming is a good thing, Speak up! They won't bring it back if they don't hear about it needing to exist!

Hello!

I wanted to speak up in support of the All-Gender Swim Events! I haven’t had a place to go swimming and this program was a wonderful, inclusive, and welcoming safe space for me and a lot of my friends as well! I know with the COVID-19 safety measure currently in place that having the pools open is not currently feasible. However, I want them to continue when the pools re open. So I’m writing in so that you know there is a need for this in your community and we are all grateful that this step was taken. I hope you will continue with the All Gender Swim, and I feel that the program should be expanded! This was a good thing, and I don’t want it to be dropped.

There's a very good reason there's so many black kids into DBZ and Anime in general.

I know after-school was special for me.

Why did I think I could ever learn how to program? This shit all looks the same, and makes no sense to em.
