"This isn't who we are!"

It is, though. None of this is new; as Black & Indigenous folks have *been* telling us, our euro-settler-colonial states have always been doing this to them.

We settlers need to start actually listening, & learn from them.

like them seeking out further narcissistic supply, expecting a hero narrative for deciding not to be a fascist, thinking they should still have an audience

someone who is acting in good faith and not a grifter will be EMBARRASSED

they will be SORRY

they will not be “aha! a new way for me to Be An Expert and have everyone listen to me”

they will be like “yeah ok clearly my judgment wasn’t good, I’ll shut up and get some fucking therapy”

we need to leave them alone and give them time to process

or if they want atonement, they can help out with on-the-ground operations

what we do not need to do is continue to feed their narcissism by listening to their podcast or otherwise granting them further celebrity

like here’s the thing

a good-faith human being who is like “oh shit I was sucked into a cult that the majority of Americans have been able to see very clearly is a cult”

is going to also be like “damn, I need to detox and do some self-examination”

I am begging everyone who’s not a bonkers fascist to learn the difference between “we need to give this ex-Nazi who has realized the far-right is hostile to women, children, the Earth, and other living things (actually men too) a second chance at being human”

Vs

“We need to give them a platform”
The first assistant Chris Rufo hired in 2021 was a Pepe the frog loving fan of “groyper mom” Michelle Malkin. That guy worked for him for 3+ years before going to work for Russell Vought in the Trump administration last year. So Rufo can miss me with the “I’m shocked by Fuentes’s popularity.”

And as I said, it's been terrible on every front, and we've had to pay out the first 3 of 6 separate big cash expenses looming this week alone. We can only cover them by bringing in enough sales this week.

If you're in the market, now would be a really, REALLY good time.

Okay, tonight's inventory selection.

Today's feature includes 2 photos in rich blues and silvery-white, and a pair of earrings [shown below] in silver and lapis.

We have a coil bracelet that includes all of these shades and complementary materials, too.

Since declaring war in the Caribbean Sea & Pacific Ocean, US has killed at least 145 people in lethal strikes on boats.

These never-ending & interchangeable wars (war on drugs, war on terror, and war on migrants) by US Southern Command no longer even have to specify what org they are targeting!
The U.S. Has Killed More than 100 People in Boat Strikes. We’re Tracking Them All.
The Intercept is keeping count of all publicly declared U.S. attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean and the number of civilians killed.

"Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in IOF ranks last year"

This is enraging. Canada is listed as one of top ten countries of dual nationals in the IOF (after US, France, Germany)

Not only is Canada arming Zionist enemy, Canadians are authorized to commit genocide in Gaza
Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in its ranks last year
The news comes after the RCMP confirmed it would collect reports from the public about possible war crimes by Hamas or the IDF.

Lately, I feel like every time I apply for Social Assistance, they change the rules, or implementnew obstacles that cost me more & more time.

It's so fucking exhausting, having to beg people for my basic human needs.

I'm so tired. I'm getting more and more tired w/ every month that passes.

Please help Ahmad's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them starving & homeless in winter under renewed bombing. His mother needs urgent treatment for retinal disease. Bluesky keeps deleting him, & donations are low:
From Ahmad:
Gaza is under constant bombardment. My family and I live in daily fear and deprivation of the most basic necessities. 💔🇵🇸
No safety, no peace…
During this holy month of Ramadan, your support can give us a chance to survive.

Canadian companies are arming Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's illegal wars, and ICE raids. The U.S. Loophole means 60% of Canadian arms exports — those that go to US — are exempted from oversight or permitting.

Canada must cut off this unregulated flow of arms by passing No More Loopholes Act
Arms Embargo Now!
The No More Loopholes Act will go to a vote in Parliament at the end of February. The critical window to act to pressure MPs to vote for it is right now.

Despite *hundreds, if not thousands* of videos of IDF soldiers looting homes and institutions in Gaza and Lebanon, only *one criminal case* was put forward by Israeli military prosecutors on the issue.

And it was closed yesterday with a plea bargain.

My mother, long ago, had her pelt taken by my father, trapping her into a loveless marriage far from the sea she'd been born into.

I'm hoping this tailor can help me help her escape. Furs are controversial in fashion, but surely an exception could be made so a lonely selkie can return to the sea.
The tailor is highly renowned, among those who know they exist. The clothes they make are not magical, allegedly, yet it's said they will never need mending, and will fit your body no matter how it changes. What do you ask for, when you finally find them?
