At this point, those pretending everything is normal are the abnormal ones.

User chaotic-neutral-knitter: "I do love the phrase executive dysfunction bc the image it conjures is of a bunch of people wearing business suits around a long oval conference table arguing with each other to the point where they're getting into physical fights, but in the background there's just a big empty whiteboard with a To Do list with one item on it and that item is "take shower"" User decaffynated: (A picture of a bunch of men in suits brawling in an office room around a table. Three men in the back of the room are still trying to talk together as if nothing is happening. Behind them, a computer screen showing "To do: -shower".) User kenz1frenz1: "No because this is exactly what it feels like."

This right here.
Poem: "Can we put someone in power Who plants seeds and not fear Makes sure every single person At the table has a chair Can we put someone in power Who leads with their heart Who builds bridges, not walls To keep families apart Can we put someone in power Who knows the weight of a cry That shatters your soul That breaks you inside Can we put someone in power Who will mend and not break Doesn't lead to feel big Who will give not just take Can we put someone in power Who is still willing to learn Uses their fire for warmth Not to tear down and burn Who cares about people And the smallest voice Not just profit and power Who gives people a choice A person who feels The grief of another Maybe the world Should be ruled by a mother" By Jess Urlichs

Just snoozing, but it MUST be on the chair next to mine.

The red chair is too far away.

I don't think that dining chair has ever lived in the kitchen/dining area.

@buddyhead_: "I think about this a lot" amara lissie/freewildstrawberries: "What sucks is that life could be *so* easy, so fucking easy. There is so much stuff rotting in storage units, in garages, nearly half of all food goes to waste, there's enough clothing for the next *6* generations! We don't even need to be working really at all, out ancestors broke down their bodies to build all this shit, the least we could do is slow down to actually utilize and fairly distribute at all. Instead, we all suffer endlessly while 8 men control half the world's wealth. Fuck."

Social media post by Conor Arpwel (@Arpqwel): Unlearning ableism requires a fundamentally anti-capitalist change in perspective. Specifically, it necessitates that you believe in the inherit worth of human beings, regardless of someone's social position or productive potential.

Re-calibrating your normal detector indeed.
A series of social media posts: user charlesoberonn: Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn't have to do anything to fund her dad's surgery because his expenses are covered by his country's universal healthcare. user charlesoberonn: Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can't afford a car and would be fired if he's late. user charlesoberonn: Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn't need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough. user hylerlexicdypatia: SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need. user blandandtasteless: This feels like calibrating my normal detector.

Well Biology still has tons of variations, which still wouldn't have a bathroom to go into by your rules. Where do they end up, as they're NOT XY or XX?
Post of variations of genetic sexes *Nondisjunction of chromosomes *** XO female (Turner Female) *** XXX female (superfemale) *** XXY, XXXY etc Male (Klinfelter Male) *** XYY Male (Jacob's Syndrome) *Translocation of SRY gene from Y to X chromosome *** XY Female (Swyer syndrome): absence oro mutation of SRY on Y produces females with gonadal dysgenesis *** XX Male (XX Male Syndrome): SRY gene in one or both X chromosomes, produces infertile males

And not just from Japan, either...
A social media post for an article from the toykoweekender.com. Picture of a phone with social media icons. Headline 1: "US Visa Applications from Japan Now Require Disclosing Social Media History". Headline 2: "US visa applicants from Japan are now required to disclose 5 years of social media history for their applications. Failure to comply may result in entry denial."

Advance voting days are throughout this weekend - yes, even though it is a holiday!

In many locations that means Good Friday, Saturday, Easter Sunday, & Easter Monday from 9:00am-9:00pm - but check your voter info card or elections.ca to confirm local hours & locations.

Social media post from heather @_heatherlynn: "Someone in a tiktok comment just said bananas won't ever be impacted by tariffs because "they're grown in every single state in the US." People have no idea where anything comes from or how anything is produces and they generally think they're informed lol. We're cooked man."

I did see this one too:

Image found elsewhere online, of a quote overlaid a picture of the sea: "Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than "politics." They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbours were dragged away. You know who weren't nice people? Resisters. Naomi Shulman"

I'm not sure there's been a single year in at least the past two decades where this hasn't applied (or much longer!), but it's certainly relevant now.
A meme from facebook: A metranome with 'me' printed on it, swinging from one side to the other as it counts time. On one side, the words "a better world is possible". On the other side, the words "we're so fucked".

From someone else in this thread:
"A missing atomic bomb isn't the only U.S. military debris left in Greenland. When Project Iceworm was abandoned, it was hoped that the shifting ice that had compromised its construction would entomb the materiel [sic] the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer had left behind. This included 9,200 tons of building equipment, 53,000 gallons of diesel fuel, carcinogenic chemicals used in paint, and radioactive cooling water from the camp's portable nuclear reactor. A 2016 study suggested that these contaminants are likely to be released in a few decades' time as a warmer climate continues to melt the ice sheet. This news seems to confirm a Greenlandic proverb: "If you hush up a ghost, it grows bigger." "

There are more than a few maps floating around from the states like that, such as:

Social media post from Lauren @ActNormalOrElse: "Paying my monthly rent that's tripled since 2001 with my paycheck that's the same dollar amount my dad was making in 1993 then opening the newspaper and reading stories about why no one has kids anymore"

100% yes. I have never, ever, felt rage like this.

But also:
Picture of a poem: The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. -Nikita Gill.

Legal? Not unless they're attacking you with more than words. But.
Indiana Jones punching a nazi. "Punching nazis is always cool." "How to (Properly) Punch a Nazi by Master Randall Trang" Four panels with a sketched drawing in each. Summarized: 1) Make a tight fist hitting with only the first two knuckles (hitting with your ring and pinky knuckles may break them). 2) Plant back leg & pivot on it as you punch and drive the punch forward. 3) Aim for the filtrum (where their hitler moustache would be). 4) Follow through the nazi punching though as if he wasn't even there. Then vote and get involved - always follow through. Repeat as needed.
