imagine the interlocking systems of oppression have somehow solidified into the being of one person

then, imagine that the interconnected systems of working class people supporting each other have also solidified into the being of one person

what's next? wrestlemania. everyone loves an underdog

hell is other people yes, and heaven is other people, and earth is other people. you could say that wherever you are, you're going to find other people there too

sometimes things work out if you try really hard and plan and put the things in place and execute your plan perfectly

sometimes things work out if you don't think too hard and just trust the process of being present in the moment

sometimes things don't work out and who knows why

Doomers really need to dial it down right now and actually pay attention to what is happening.

It's not just that they're incompetent, they're fucking up massively.

And this is their big moment, if they fuck up the martial law rollout idk that they get another chance

I think once people realized they can bully ICE agents if they don’t have a full police escort it was kinda over for them.
ICE agents are chased and forced to leave their neighborhood by LA residents

we meander. it might feel like we don't know where we're going, but we're figuring it out moment by moment

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

Breathe in. Hold your hands out in front of you. Repeat after me, as you bring your hands up towards your chin: "I accept what is."

Breathe out. As you exhale, gradually bring your hands down until they are in front of you again. Repeat after me: "I work to change what I can."

Do this 3 - 7 times.

fortunate and grateful to have people who love me during an extremely destabilizing time. we aren't guaranteed to get through this, but if we do, it'll be together

in a prolonged state of inner crisis which mirrors a state of crisis in my environment/the world

it sucks but, sometimes it helps to have a bit of crisis to reflect on what's important to you and to seek change. the same thing applies to our wider world

whatever line there is, we've crossed it. maybe you can say there never was a line, and the existence of a line for certain situations was just a useful story. that story's over now. what's next?

beginning to think more and more that any hard distinction between disabled vs. nondisabled is a consequence of eugenicist propaganda

put it this way, everybody will have a recognizable disability at some point in their life if they live long enough

would transform public health to recognize this

i could psychoanalyze these dickheads endlessly. they don't make it hard

one thing i will say is it DOES all go back to authoritarian, dehumanizing childhoods

you want to cut it off at the source, you work with parents and schools to help kids develop a sense of self

rich people being some of the most aggressive in not spending money when they don't want to makes a certain amount of sense in that they get rich by fixating on accumulating money and fighting to keep it

it's religious for them

if you're trying to help someone understand politics, and they don't typically engage with politics, ask them about sports

nine times out of ten they will have a team, they will understand the concept of teammates, they will understand that you can't do it alone
