I would say that this will absolutely bankrupt me, but because I can't pass the means test for filing bankruptcy, I guess it will just leave me homeless.

Real talk, darlings:

Toughen the fuck up. Tighten the fuck up. Stand on business, all day everyday. You are going to be criticized, demonized, misgendered, insulted, threatened, etc, in different ways. Fortify yourself.

Some of us *have* been coddled too much, and what we need now is strength✊🏾🖤

The truth is that we have enslaved the most gentle, trusting and innocent of animals to farm on a scale far beyond any of us can comprehend. It disturbs me to think that we feel it is justified because we benefit from their exploitation. And it disturbs me because I once agreed too.

Look, this isn't radical resistance or w/e, but we've got to buy stuff and as long as we have to buy stuff while capitalism still exists, we may as well support places that are taking important stances they don't need to take. That shit matters rn.

Important to point out that America did not *just* become a fascist nation; we have always been a fascist nation but with liberal/neoliberal governance.

Now we are a fascist nation with fascist governance. The machinery didn't change, the drivers did.

Kind of enjoying watching everyone running over to Xiaohongshu and waking up to all the ways they’ve been lied to their entire lives.

It's not the people simply refusing to recycle or use public transit. The CEO'S of oil and gas buy politicians and pay for lax regulations. It's the greed of these people specifically which leaves us in this predicament. We want a future, they want profits. We are not the same. #LandBack

The 1.5° Celsius temp rise target didn't hit for me until I realized that if a person's temperature rose by that much they would have a fever and probably feel quite ill: sweating where you should be dry, dry where you should be moist, Etc

This has happened on a planetary scale due to our actions.

Monday is MLK Day. It is also the day of Trump's inauguration. Jimmy Carter died Dec 29th. He was the first president to propose MLK Day as a national holiday.
Flags are to remain at 1/2 mast for 30 days following the death of a former president. They will be raised early for Trump's inauguration.

My thinking is:

1) Handing over biometric data to corporations is always dicey, period. They do not need my prints ty.
2) yes, biodata is technically/mechanically more secure than a pin, but cops/feds can take your finger or hold your phone up to your face. They cannot compel you to give a pin.

With recent announcements from meta I am more inclined daily to download everything and delete my account(s). But then there are also certain groups I pull info from and business connections I feel the need to maintain. Curious what others are thinking about this.
