"it's not nazi just fascist" is an excuse that literally only works on the truly dungbrained and the truly nazi
With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.
Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

So today I've reposted/shared Teen Vogue and a quote from the 1979 Muppet Movie. What a weird day.

It's not a bad sentiment (below), though.
don't mind me, i'll just be sobbing at the muppet movie script

For the evening crowd - I forgot to mention: some 30-odd years after his tour, Dad had surgery to cut (yet more) shrapnel out of his back and legs. This was just before 9/11; he used to set off metal detectors in airports - and he was very, very glad that he had it removed when he did.

"What is the purpose of writing? For me personally, it is really to explain the mystery of life, & the mystery of life includes, of course, the personal, the political, the forces that make us what we are while there's another force from inside battling to make us something else.” -Nadine Gordimer

Same.
I'm at that point in my life that roaming the moors in a flowing white gown, hair down, holding an antique lantern just to scare the shit out of people is looking like a viable choice.

It's ok to take care of yourself.
It's ok to get some rest.
It's ok to become a lonely lighthouse keeper and spend your days cursing the sea and your nights gently going mad as you write an unending novel about ghost cats.
