I joke about my Italian heritage a lot, but there are many ancestors who I admire and look to for wisdom and guidance.

From "Violence as a Social Factor" by Errico Malatesta
For, what is Anarchy? We do not wish to impose on others any hard and fast system, nor do we pretend, at least I do not, to possess the secret of a perfect social system. We wish that each social group be able, within the limits imposed by the liberty of others, to experiment on the mode of life which it believes to be the best, and we believe in the efficacy of persuasion and example. If society did not deny us this right we should have no right to complain, and we would simply have to strive to make our system the most successful, so as to prove that it was the better. It is only because today one class has the monopoly of power and riches, and is therefore able to force the people, at the end of a bayonet, to work for it, that we have the right, and that it is our duty, to fight for attaining, with the aid of force, those conditions which render it possible to experiment on better forms of society. In short it is our duty to call attention to the dangers attendant on the use of violence, to insist on the principle of the inviolability of human life, to combat the spirit of hatred and revenge, and to preach love and toleration. But to blind ourselves to the true conditions of the struggle, to renounce the use of force for the purpose of repelling and attacking force, relying on the fanciful efficacy of "passive resistance," and in the name of a mystical morality to deny the right of self-defence, or to restrain it to the point of rendering it illusionary, can only end in nothing, or in leaving a free field of action to the oppressors.

You've just died. The 6th picture in your gallery is what killed you.
Yeah, it's turkeys. Of course it's turkeys! 3 male wild turkeys standing on the lawn. 2 of them are looking at the camera while the other walks out of frame to the right.

They have a truce
Jeremy the tuxedo cat laying down on the brick patio with a turkey standing next to him. They're looking at each other nonchalantly. And there's another turkey in the background on the lawn

The ones we have in the neighborhood are pretty chill, honestly.

They absolutely are dinosaurs though. Idk how people who have seen them can doubt that they are related to dinosaurs.

I woke up this morning and chose violence
Portion of a Bluesky thread: jenny tightpants @jtp.bsky.social: if I accuse you of breaking that law in the bathroom how do you prove otherwise? Tired and I wanna g... @sense0se... Show you my penis but it wouldn't happen because I am obviously a man. (Me) @VerboseMinimalist.gay: You are obviously a whiny, little bitch And while we're gender policing, you don't know the first thing about being a man. Get the fuck up out of my gender, bathroom pig!
