Mixed Bag; Some personal shit, maybe some hobbies, a fair amount of politics (because my country is falling apart and I'm pissed about it) and the occasional share from TikTok. Welcome to my shitshow.

Hey, gonna put this out there early: I do not do follow-for-follow. I follow people for 2 reasons:

1. I like your content
2. I like you as a person because I know you as a person.

Follow me only if you like what I have to say; it's not going to improve your odds of getting a follower back.
I've been thinking about this post since I first saw it a couple days ago, and I don't think it's telling the right story.

Because the thing is, this has ALWAYS been the risk of democracy. Not just American democracy, but all forms and places. It does demonstrate that our guard rails were 1/?
And think
The republicans have managed to do this to us, to the world, in les than a year.

This is exactly where we're heading.
If the president can magically claim that drug runners are “narco-terrorists” to justify killing them, what’s to stop him from declaring democratic lawmakers as “political terrorists” or legally protesting American citizens as “agitator terrorists” to justify their murders?

Another reminder that Trump isn't unfit because he's old and sleepy, he's unfit because he does not respect his oath to serve the American people, and abuses laws and condones murder for personal gain.

Hegseth isn't unfit because he's an alcoholic, but because he's a incompetent and a war criminal.

I'm thinking coming to bsky was a mistake. I got more interaction on Facebook and Twitter, tho' both were pathetic. While the content is less toxic, that's only worth so much. If I want to consume, Tiktok is better for that. Social media's supposed to be interactive; if it's not, what's the point?

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.

Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Not just the right.
The DUTY.

Glad to see the recurring theme of fatphobia in the response to the Texas NG being deployed to Illinois... Because the fact that some of the weekend warriors are a bit chubby is *absolutely* the key point here, guys.

It's easier than recognizing our eroding democracy.

I am 46 years old. Elder millenial, baby Gen-X, Oregon Trail Generation. Old enough that I should be cynical, or at least philosophical, about humans.

That said, it still fucks with my head when I encounter random humans on the internet who lack basic courtesy or decency. Good chance it'll

Of all the shit stains that Trump has left on America's underwear, Pete Hegseth feels like the most insulting and in the top 5 most dangerous.

This feeling inspired by the reported "restoration" of the pro-Confederacy monument at Arlington.

Today is August 6th. 28 years ago today, I raised my hand and swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. I boarded a plane and left my former life behind, and began life as a U.S. Servicemember. I didn't know (who could?) where it would lead, but in a life of (1/?)

Another one: Burn it all down is such a fucking privileged take.

Working within the system to change the system is hard, but at least people might actually survive that way. "Burn it down" means millions suffer and die, and there's still no guarantee that what follows will actually be better.

Some longer form thoughts on the tempest in a teapot from this morning.

I can and do take criticism in good faith, so if you think this isn't it, feel free to engage.

Yesterday, Kamala Harris’ official Bluesky account posted a video promoting her new book, and a lot of people had feelings about it. I was one of those people, and I expressed my feelings as fully as ...

The projection here is astounding. I was enthusiastic in my support for Kamala, and devastated by her loss. I want her in the WHITE HOUSE, not the kitchen.

But I also want her to use her power to help us, even if she lost. Make no mistake, she's a black woman, but she's also a person with power.
You and your demographic already abandoned us we know you people will do it again because instead of democracy by any means you’re pissed u cant tell a Black Woman to go back to the kitchen SHUT the fuck up crying especially when we KNOW YOUR FAMILY VOTED FOR TRUMP
I would love to have seen you sworn in, but I'm disappointed in how quiet you've been since November. You had the platform, you had the power... why didn't you use it to fight what's going on?

It's not too late. Fight for us, and I'll vote for you again. If you can't do that, just quietly go away.

Just watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, and I feel compelled to say that EJAE (the singing voice for Rumi) has a phenomenal voice. I may find myself delving into some K-Pop in the near future.

I've gotten a few new followers, I guess I oughta post something. I dislike a lack of nuance no matter what side of the political divide it comes from, though I'm a more ambivalent about that than I am human rights. We can disagree about HOW to protect human rights, but not whether they should be.

If you didn't see this coming, your head is either buried in the sand, or up your ass.

And honestly, fuck it. No B without the T. You came for one of us, you came for all of us. Anyone who disagrees can kiss my ass and then fuck off forever.

Why the fuck these mealy-mouthed politicians keep leavening their accusations? Trump is not a would-be dictator, he IS a fucking dictator. Is it because saying it straight out would highlight their culpability in allowing it to happen in real time?

Maybe this one just hits a little close to home, but the new DOD grooming policy that is obviously aimed primarily at removing black servicemembers is infuriating and more than a little terrifying.

Keep your anti-military feelings to yourself on this one.

Big update to Prod tonight. I've done smaller updates in the past with an experienced admin over-the-shoulder, but this'll be the first time I'm alone on it, and it's a big update. The Test update was a monster, but I *think* I've mostly got it licked. Tonight will be the proof in the pudding tho'.

I'm irritated over something incredibly minor...

All the talk about the tank treads. Listen people, those things are always loud. No, you cannot grease them and it doesn't have to be quiet to hear them; it carries for a good mile.
The parade was pathetic, but that's not why.
