Please. PLEASE give me the ability to channel. I just need some time, a sa'angreal, and a little tutoring on Spirit threads.

You can gentle me afterwards (and you'll need to); it would be worth the fuckin' price.

I loved the part where he sent Lobelia Sackville-Baggins back to Hobbiton in a hog-driven sled with a box full of crows.

Point is: I know these people, I know how they think, I know how they DON'T think, and I stand by my depiction of that particular VERY common stereotype in The South.

I was crossing a yard to read a power meter years back, and the redneck who lived there asked me from the porch of his trailer if I believed in aliens. When I said, "Yeah, I guess?" he proceeded to tell me that if they did & landed in his yard, but didn't believe in Jesus, he'd "fuckin' kill `em."

And juuuuuuuuust in case anyone is furiously writing an angry screed about my depiction of an average Southerner living in The South, let me remind you I grew up in *South Carolina,* a state so backwards and hick-infested it makes MS looks like Greenwich Village circa 1968.

When asked for comment, local Mississippi residents said:

"GIT OFFA MAH PROPTEE, YEW LIBRUL DEMON, IT'S ALWAYS HOT IN SIPPI! *hock, spit, TING!*"

Or ya know... words to that effect.

I had "liberal" voters in mind when I wrote that.

Sure, theoretically there are people "inside" who could prevent/stop this, or just in the RW, but I'm doubtful. The rot is all the way through, from surface to core. There are none left who will help.

It's folks like us who know, but cannot say.

There's just something about that guy that always, always annoyed me.

Just fear. Understandable, unavoidable (for those with souls), abject fear.

Fear of retaliation.
Fear of federal prosecution.
Fear of being the one to ignite the spark.
Fear of the consequences OF that spark, regardless of who ignites it.
Fear of themselves, of who and what they may become after.

Honestly? I think everyone who is A: paying attention, B: isn't part of the wealth-backed echo chamber, and C: truly understands what the ultimate stakes are here, knows exactly what needs to be done, but cannot say it for various reasons, myself included.

This is amazing coverage by @marisakabas.bsky.social of The Handbasket who obtained the body cam footage via a FOIA filing. The takeover of USIP is abhorrent & unconstitutional.

Illinois Prison's Plan To Use Female Inmate As 'Rape Bait' For Predatory Counselor Did Not Go Well And the officials involved will not be getting their qualified immunity.

The fact that @robynelyse.bsky.social doesn't go into black-out rages where she lays waste to all who deserve it - and there are a LOT who do - is a fucking miracle.

On OUR behalf.

LOL - INSANE timing. One of yours and @schafferthedark.bsky.social's tunes got randomly selected on shuffle and started playing in my ear LITERALLY AS I WAS READING YOUR POST.

Yeah, well, he also thought non-white races should be enslaved, was really into fascism, and wanted to fuck Hitler, sooooooooo... yeah.

Those facts don't render the post below any less true, of course, but it does lend a much needed perspective of, "Naw, for real, fuck that guy."

It's getting to world ending recipe time; all the volatile components are coming together.

And I'm afraid to say what I think we need to do to stop it.

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.

Leave us the fuck alone.

Well SORRY, but pouring a glass from the bottle AND drinking it WHILE driving with my knees is a bit much to handle! I have ADHD!

It's SOOOOO good. Fucking ace writing.

When you're done with it, add Luceno's "Tarkin" to the pile, too. Amazing book, and a great read.

I knew fundies would be our death, and a disaster AT BEST if they got power.
I knew our alliance with Israel was unwise, unbalanced, and often completely immoral, and that right-wing Christians would use the issue of Israel to LITERALLY KILL EVERYONE ON EARTH.

Why didn't anyone LISTEN TO ME???

He asks himself a question I've asked myself many times since learning about right-wing fundamentalism at age eight.

Leaning against a shattered column as his suit tries to keep up with his breathing and heartrate, he asks, "Why didn't they listen to me? Why didn't ANY of them LISTEN to me?"
