I guess that is the beginning of a 1/3 serious thesis about why the waning of Humanities is at least partly responsible for the current "crisis of men". AI "art" may well be a poison pill plunged into humanity's heart. We've built machines to take away the activity that gives life purpose.

Like maybe if our young men would go out and write books and poems and music about despair and the emptiness of consumption and the problem of finding meaning in a cruel world, fewer of them would join ICE, boost fascism, become incels, and engage in mass murder, and celebrate cruelty.

Say what you want about America's Lost Generation—there's plenty to be said—but when confronted with the inability of excess, entertainment, and distraction to fill the void of loneliness & loss, they at least mostly opposed fascism.

🎼There is a line of women
who took on pow'rful men,
defying laws and scruples
to let life live again;
and though despite their triumph,
their stories stayed untold,
God kept their numbers growing,
creative strong and bold.

We are on track for a moment in the country where Trump is going to be depending on this man to defy a legal subpoena or congressional order in order to keep the files secret.
No wonder Trump is panicking. I would be terrified if my future hung on the loyalty of this dude.

The trans accommodation paradigm is demonstrating its own failure in real time. We need to work towards building the project of trans liberation on former ground moving forward.

from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show how through care and goodness

🎼Could we with ink
the ocean fill,
and were the skies
of parchment made;
were ev'ry stalk
on earth a quill,
and everyone
a scribe by trade;
to write the love
of God above
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll
contain the whole
though stretched from sky to sky.

Let's be really clear: ICE didn't turn evil under Trump; ICE has been inhumane, cruel, and has violated human rights since its inception.
ICE just got more powerful under Trump.

Anyway my wife took me out to dinner tonight and paid with that card. So my deadname ghost just took us both out to dinner. 😂

We do not need your acceptance, your tolerance, or your affirmation. God has already called us blessed.
You need our forgiveness.
When you can accept that this is true, you might begin to heal.

If you are looking for something you can do in the face of increasing violence, may I suggest attending a Stop the Bleed training? Find one near you. They are free, they are short, and you get a free kit. It will set you up to know you could be a help in that context.
