If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

mmmhmmmm. keeping workers ignorant is also a part of the system.

because if we, collectively, know that taxes worked within that system we would behave differently, like not pay.

come get us all.

truly! like having a friend of almost 20 years amongst new friends made me appreciate just how much time build platonic intimacy --- like they know me KNOW ME. and that is so precious.

we could definitely start withholding approval culturally.
boo them openly.
stop inviting them to cookouts.
when they cosplay Blackness, CLOWN them.
we let them slip and slide too much.

They don't care about our opinions because to them we're not human.

And the pressure to lie about not working is because "middle-class" people always want to look RICH

I think the measles situation is much worse then reported bc suppression keeps people from panicking. I urge you to vaccinate now. Get masks now!

my ex, now friend, from 2009 came to visit and dj my birthday party.

like griefing them leaving cause to be known and loved platonically for so long is the greatest gift.

i said when you remove race and gender because it is shared, you have to look at power.

a capitalist, celebrity, etc has more power than you (well, most of us), and i questioned what is their responsibility to us?

because we always talking about our responsibility to them (give grace)
