Disgruntled union democrat resists fascism and oligarchs one arcane but erudite literary post at a time. The resistance will be of shabby appearance and strong mind. I identify as Ethnically Ebullient Greek. Pronouns: try/me/motherfuckers.
I try not to propagate the salacious rumor mill but to hear Trump say, “I did not have sexual relations with that man,” and have *that* be the lie that gets him impeached…
Oh dear lord.
Oh dear lord.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society
What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

After the helplessness of “why aren’t the Canadians/Europeans/Australians coming to help us?” wore into “We don’t deserve to be helped” wore into “fuck all the rich democrats who are abandoning the poors” - our continued endurance, our simple existence, is the best act of resistance of all.
People tell me if I don’t like Missouri, I should leave. But, it’s a nice day and the breeze is blowing. I’m sitting in the side-by-side watching my donkey get his hooves trimmed by a local farrier.
I’m not leaving because of GOP authoritarinism. It’s my state too, and I’m tougher than they are…

I'm using up rest of plums by making Cornbread Plum Scones (other fruit works, too, or jam). They'll be ready during hub's courtroom lunch break...not a fun trial, so maybe these scones will cheer him up.

With ICE increasing its presence in and around Boston, I thought I'd repost this helpful guide for reporting ICE sightings in an effective way. Remember: S.A.L.U.T.E.
You can report sightings to LUCE Mass at 617-370-5023 (the holine operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. in multiple languages)

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.
