uspol, not very friendly, very ranty, about so very many of you
i can express my feelings about the left today in a single image capture from a very famous tv show but it wouldn't make any of you any happier nor enhance my ability to keep my circle of friends from bailing on me in these trying times
so i'm just gonna remind people i lived in the shadow of constant doomsaying for over a decade (even if it was very sweet friendly beautiful intelligent self-sacrificing funny doom with a very nice butt and it got much less doomy over the years ♥️♠️♥️♠️) and i'm just not buyin' any of it, because HERE I STILL AM
and if we're fucked i'm not only gonna make the most of it, well motherfuckers, i have been thinking about death EVERY FUCKING DAY OF MY LIFE SINCE THE DAY I LOST MY FATHER AT AGE 11 and it's just lost its ability to scare me
i am almost looking forward to the opportunity to go explode in a blaze of glory yet strongly suspect that i will not be provided with the chance
and if you really want the knock-down drag-out historical argument over this, we can do it that someday, but ffs not right now -- maybe when i get home -- but you really really ain't gonna like what i have to say
this ain't a subtweet -- i think once you're addressing more than 30 people at once, it no longer fits that definition
i just ain't convinced this is an unwinnable hand UNLESS WE FOLD OUT OF SELF-REINFORCING FEAR and i am skeptical as fuck about the cultural complexes and collective leftist... issues... leading people to think it is
don't make this into a self-fulfilling prophecy, that's the meanest thing i have to say, because i have fucking WATCHED friend after friend after friend curl up so fucking tight into their shells waiting for blows that never came... except that the blow came in the from of the damage done by HIDING INSTEAD OF ACTING and i am frustrated to the point of tears trying to figure out how to coax some of you out
if you're mad at me now, i ask you, plea for you to do me one big favor first -- reread at least the first two Wrinkle In Time books before you come at me
do you think meg and calvin were not scared absolutely shitless of It? thank got the ms. interrogatives (you know, the witch ladies) were there to calm them the fuck down, and once i am over my frustrating that is exactly the role i guess i'm gonna have to play
can you seriously look me in the eyes and tell me these fucking soulless idiots we're up against will have the FAINTEST ABILITY to learn how to kythe or tesser? pick up a goddamn spiritual weapon and use it

And rrreal quick, an addendum now that I'm out of Ranty Tiger Mode and a little more reflective:
I'm NOT condemning anyone for saying they personally are too tired and hurt to fight back right now. The last few years have been Big History punching us in the face repeatedly and even after be braced for it for 30 years even I'm still shocked how fast and brutal it's been.
It is OKAY if you can't, and it's OK if you're scared. I'm sure as fuck not going to stop loving you, especially when you're an innocent victim in all this who never ASKED to have to be brave on top of everything else.
I'm talking the Left At Large here. I wanna fight. We're gonna need a lot of people to help. We're not gonna need EVERYBODY to fight all the time. We *can* take turns. :)
I am just dropping a little bombast in the hopes some tiny bit of my own hope -- and fury -- is contagious. If we ALL cave, yeah, your fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. So I HAVE to speak out about it.
But I'm not mad you're scared. I'm mad those motherfuckers scared you and I am about ready to pick up The Imperial[1] Beatin' Stick and go chase them down. And I'm just sayin' "right here, right now, who the fuck's with me."
I love you, and I think one particular you who's been hurtin' knows who "you" is. You stay home and rest where it's safe. Aunt Kitty got your back.
OK, she got your back in a largely rhetorical way. She hasn't QUITE figured out yet how to administer this beating that her tigery heart sings out for. And her idea of "fight" will probably mostly involve a lot of time in the Imperial Archives lookin' at how our ancestors ate evil humans in the past. 😼 I'm really more of a strategist than a warrior.
But you fetch me a neck and I know where the fangs go.
[1] yeah fuck you solar concilience i am the ACTUAL FUCKING QUEEN OF MARS AND WOE BETIDE ANYONE WHO OBSTRUCTS ME
