Just a West Coast guy trying to live for more in an increasingly hostile world.

Compassion for neighbors; solidarity with allies; no mercy for those who harm us.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

Breaking News: Local author makes "unclear" statement, blames everyone else for misunderstanding him, further muddies waters by doubling-down on first unclear statement, fails to genuinely apologize for causing harm.

I hear right wingers are having trouble understanding Superman

Almost as if they're stupid sociopaths.

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend!

A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

Sure.

Genocide is only popular/acceptable to the worst people on the planet regardless of time, place, creed, or country.

The problem isn't leftists calling out obvious evil. The problem is people like you refusing to take a fearless moral inventory. We can't win people over who are committing it

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Yeah, no, because sucking cock is awesome and these inbred Neanderthal motherfucking shitrags are anything but awesome.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be far more creative, darling.
I'll be adding "cocksucker" to my descriptive terms of profanity over the next few years. This is your chance to unfollow if such things offend you.

It's fun to be living in a moment when it seems like we are about to enter an era of terrifying authoritarianism OR an era of authoritarian overreach that immediately crumbles and gives way to something better, and these two things might happen simultaneously, and we won't know for sure for A BIT.

This run made me cry every single issue. Absolutely beautiful story. @timsheridan.bsky.social and @ciantormey.bsky.social cooked with gas and absolutely killed it.
Why hello there. Old man yaoi is trending so you now have to buy and read the western old man yaoi "Alan Scott: Green lantern." Written by @timsheridan.bsky.social and drawn by @ciantormey.bsky.social

Come on yaoi fans don't let me down.
