I grew up in the south, and in the early '90s, we were still taught about amazing people like Claudette herself. Nowadays, with the enemies of truth and knowledge stripping our history books, our young people are becoming further separated from the Civil Rights Movement. My mom was in elementary school when they were desegregated. She witnessed things that she still talks about. My mom, with access to whiteness, watched helplessly while her black peers were being threatened, being pelted by rocks, food, whatever the angry mob could get their hands on. My best friend is dating a fella whose grandmother was on the opposite side, she was the one being pelted. We aren't that far removed from this time. And in a time where we are going backwards, where our supposed commander-in-chief is crying about reverse racism, we really need to buckle down and resist.
So to my fellow millennials, take it upon yourself to teach these important lessons on humanity and what we SHOULD be. And my lovely elder zoomers, I encourage you to learn. Dive deep. Don't let them erase our history. Fight the patriarchy. Don't judge people by the color of their skin but instead, by the content of their character.
And if you made it all the way through the alt text, thank you for listening.
I didn't post about Claudette Colvin yesterday, but after realizing that so many people don't seem to know about her life and her massive contribution to the civil rights movement, I implore everyone to read about her life. She is an unsung hero. Rest in peace. (Image source in the alt text)

Hey Ma, I'm sorry that I'm not sorry about not being sorry, but the longer you pretend that my sister and I are not gay, the gayer I will become. Get ready, mom. I will not abide lesbianphobes. It's time to sparkle, bitches πβ¨οΈ

Anyone seeing that comment, I hope yall realize that @clienthelpdeskcare.bsky.social "suppot" team is obviously a scam bot. I mean, I saw it immediately, especially since my issue is with a UPS driver, not FedEx. BUT OTHER people are engaging with it.
Be safe yall. Block the bots.

It's National Feral Cat Day, and my two reformed feral babies Quark the Kitten and Grilka of House Grilka are celebrating with barely tolerated cuddles and of course all their favorite treats.

Imagine a household with 4 adults. 1 NT, 2 ADHD, 1 AuDHD. NT sets a household rule. Then NO ONE follows said rule EXCEPT the AuDHDer. Including the NT who set the rule. Imagine how MADDENING that is for the poor rule follower.
Yeah, I just want to do my laundry on my assigned days.

I just realized with the addition of kitten Quark I now have a ferengi to accompany my Klingon(Grilkaπββ¬οΈ), Trill(Jadziaπ©), and a Federation hooman (Geordiπ)
Just don't tell Grilka that he's got a lady Klingon name and definitely don't tell him the relationship between Grilka and Quark π

Well, it's 26 days away from National Feral Cat Day, but I guess I'm celebrating early with another feral kitten to raise. This is what happens when you have animal flavored autism and everyone around you knows it.

Oh boy howdy, don't I know it! I've been in deep with the sims since TS1 and it was super crucial in the exploration of my teenage identity. And right now, with a lot of us feeling like we're being erased in the US, I'm clinging to TS4 like a lifeboat. My lil gay dollhouse.

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

A bit wild that I had to get a buddy to come manage my Twitch chat of 3 viewers. I need to find my mic I don't like typing in chat while my thumbs are on the joysticks. Console streamer woes I suppose? Idk even what I'm doing so it's cool. πππ

It's super frustrating that I can't find my mic. I kind of wanted to stream the Sims because I'm in pain and need a distraction. I mean, I'll play anyway but no one will be getting any chat replies. I'd say no one shows up to the chat anyway but today has been full of surprises.

TNG scene. Data, on ship, is standing in uniform with his head slightly cocked, like that thing a dog does if you say ball or walk or treat. Closed caption reads, "You mentioned your impending death, Grandpa."

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Data, but like, a human fleshy version of himself, wearing an olden time white puffy shirt and smock of tan coloring is standing in front of a star field background, arms raised, looking captivated by and in awe of something marvelous like he's doing a Ted talk. Closed caption reads, "Unpredictable."

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says βCan I help you find something?β
βIβm looking for the obituaries.β
βThe obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.β
βNot the one Iβm looking for.β
