I'm investing in art-- time, money, the creation of it, the support of artists, the necessary consumption of it in all forms. It's keeping me sane. It's making the world better. It's changing hearts and minds. Art makes us human and humane.
Support artists. Nurture your creativity. Fuck fascism

At the state fair with my kids, and my daughter summed up the entire carnival ride experience perfectly.
Screamed at the top of her lungs on a fast spinning ride:
"I do not feel safe, even if I know I am. This is so much fun! "

Also, an effective general strike has free transit all over town, a way of providing free food etc. It’s not just staying home it’s alternate social infrastructure so people can survive striking
Obviously, shouting "General Strike!" on such-and-such day is a bad idea. You can't "flash mob" your way to labor solidarity
But also, even with lots of preparation, buy-in, and good execution, capital and its enforcers will respond with unbelievable violence to crush you.

Philip Larkin said "What will survive of us is love," but research based on previous collapsing civilizations suggests it's more likely to be inorganic items that can be buried, burned, or struck without significant degradation. Likely what will survive of us is ceramic toilets.
What's your take on the moment we're living through in 50 words or less. [you able to quote post]

Embrace the cringe. Dive into the weird. It's where you'll find your vulnerability and your truth. Whether that's in writing, social media, or just your life, start being authentic weird self.
We're all just feral goblins underneath a thin veneer of social awareness.

I'm serious. This too is fascism.
SPD has effectively figured out a way to keep records secret from the public: First, refuse to give simple information like police reports to certain members of the media, telling them "do a PDR." Then, refuse to work on more than one request at a time, and take forever to respond.

A Universal Basic Income that help the poor and generate economic growth from the ground up? We’ve no way of knowing that’ll work! Better we invest in artificial intelligence that is currently consuming all our power to create a John Cena lookalike that tells pornographic stories to children.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I dreamed that Dolly Parton was hosting our local trivia, and she called me "one smart cookie," and I realized I had peeked. No high will ever match being praised by Dolly Parton.

I can't let the first of the month get by without marketing a tiny bit. I wrote some books! If you like fairies, urban fantasy with some spice (3🌶, some onscreen, not explicit), lots of rebellion against authoritarian regimes, and cocktail magic, check out Summer's Blood.

Just to state the obvious: I do not believe that a political movement trying to re-legalize child labor, deny schoolkids free lunches, lower the age of sexual consent, slash funding for child care & elementary education, and slash Medicaid genuinely gives a shit about the welfare of children.

This "lazy Medicaid scammer" myth is an insane level of gaslighting
It's not like Medicaid recipients receive any money
The benefits are used to pay doctors-for medical visits
And who thinks an otherwise healthy gamer living in his mom's basement is even going to see a doctor
Just more GOP lies

New in PN: Medicaid 'gamers' are the new 'welfare queens'
"Ever since Reagan’s smear took hold, Republicans have consistently presented poverty as a moral failing, but now they’ve extended it to physical health. Medicaid recipients are somehow simultaneously too lazy and/or sick to deserve care."

There's something seriously disturbing about kids singing lyrics about their "HMO checks." I love kids attacking excellent rock songs, but there's a disconnect.
