This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.
The irony/idiocy of this banner currently draped on the Department of Labor building is not lost on me, given all the federal workers he's forced out of their jobs.

Emphasis on us, non native people, to listen. Grateful for these voices and their willingness to share.
Native people telling our stories and you listening is *new*.

Like, so wildly *new*.

We need your protection as we try to enter this circle. Making the space safe for us too, matters.

I'm not saying to not use discernment, to not pay attention.

What I am saying is that WS dog whistles in the witch/occult scene tend to be the same you find anywhere else.

The racist occultists/witches don't have a secret code the other racists don't also have. They're not that smart or organized.

Happy Pride! Remember as we celebrate today in Houston the sacrifices, struggles, and activism that went into us having the rights we have today. We have to support each other and fight as they try to make our very existence illegal in Texas. #Stonewall #Pride #BeSomeone

Hard to re-use rockets that explode on the launchpad during routine testing.

If only a brave, genius-level, Iron-Man like figure had the courage to control the test firing from inside the cockpit, I'm sure disasters like this could be averted.

But who could ever be that brave & smart & handsome?
