I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

and to the last american dollar

i’ve been enjoying the word “kinetic” in various phrases as a substitute for words like war, explosion, mass murder of school kids, etc

kinetic is a versatile word that would work well with a number of different musical scores, depending on the intended audience—easy marketability (a must, obvz)

if electeds: i don’t want my tax dollars paying for one, let alone two, pairs of luxury shoes—we need to save that money for bombs!

it’s commendable that you want to consider the entirety of reality but, like i said, that puts this conversation far outside the realm
of a social media chat

my considering character-limited posts a bad format for broader conversation is in no way indicative of my attitudes/understanding of Things

do you genuinely not understand that how we live long term is dependent upon the criticisms, ideas, & actions that can be happen today?

my initial (& standing) comments were in response to lulz abt deaths at sxsw—a great joke for cis-het-yt-bros whose lives are not at systemic risk in tx

your mischaracterization aside, what advances have ever been made in any field or endeavor without, first, imagining something better?

if ppl limited thoughts, words, & intentions to the world as it is, we’d still live in caves

if we’re stepping out of hypotheticals into the complex workings of the real world, this topic is too expansive for sparring on socials

the burden of reality set aside

criticizing large organizations for jokes about event-deaths in pro-death event-states is a legitimate thing to do

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

you’re not going to believe this but continuing to support bad places by supporting the economies of localized good places contributes to the ongoing success of bad places, bad policies, & bad outcomes for vulnerable groups in the bad places

if all cons threatened to leave tx, laws would change

it would not be too much to resort to clan annihilation for the crime of fossil fuel profiteering

the persistent narrative of Rogue President is absurd & dangerous

presidents don’t emerge from the heavens to lead innocent & witless masses

presidents are nourished, grown, & picked by political parties

the GOP REJECTS the rule of law, democracy, human rights, & multiculturalism

which is in texas, not a sovereign state

yeah, it’s fkd up that sxsw is held in a place that is hostile to all non-cis-yt-males—totally agree w you

incoherence & incompetency are two of the gop’s foundational cornerstones (greed & cruelty, the others)

this has been clear for decades & should surprise no one, now

clinging to the notion that republicanism isn’t an existential threat has, for decades, been an act of willful delusion

americans think their own kids are too young to coexist with gender diversity, learn about chattel slavery, or read complex literature but the children of other countries are just the right age to be atomized or orphaned 👍🏻

Human waste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

america, shithole

they look around in confusion, suddenly in a cold sweat, and ask “WHERE?”

not seeing anything & unable to hear any clarifications over the deafening sound of their pounding heartbeat & gasping breaths, they run screaming into the nearest telephone pole

it’s like pointing literally anywhere and hollering “air!”

the anger-is-way-worse-than-atrocities crowd does a lot of heavy lifting for the straight-up-atrocities crowd

tbf, there are *literally no other states* to throw parties in or travel to bc 21/21 of the us of a’s 21 states have legislated against the right of trans ppl to access public bathrooms that match their gender id

like, if it were 21/50 (38%) instead of 100% of states there’d at least be options 🫤

haha only a handful of ppl died…other than all the lgbtq/youth/maternal suicides & maternal deaths from unavailable or self-administered abortion services

the only reason to be in texas is to be literally or financially imprisoned there

Turns out fighting fascism helps you live longer Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracy—and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

I moved to Europe 3 months ago. Literally everything in Europe is better than America.

It makes me sad. Things in America could be just as good as Europe, if MAGA dumbfucks didn't hold us back, and we had more politicians like Bernie Sanders who actually care about making life better for everyone.

a solid clue to this is referring to human workers as “labor,” in the first place

i don’t know how i would have felt about this 10 years ago but it’s hitting the mark for me rn—feels very 2026

the occasional “be precise w your words; ICE is ICE, not the gestapo” posts are 😑

ICE & the gestapo are separated by time & space AND they do similar things, so

language policing/pedantry can be useful in, say, niche professional circles but, in the wild, they are literal tools of oppression

Songs ending with guitar solos reinforce the myth that the special individual will save us. Synth solos, that tech will save us. Saxophone solo outros suggest we are doomed but still kinda sexy. Ending with field samples of birds obviously implies a future where humans are ruled by avian overlords.

my mom neglected me, my dad ran me over in the driveway w a 1970s steel frame truck (two tires breaking pelvis, wrist, collarbone) & i grew up hearing abt how it was the worst day of their lives—& not knowing how, xactly, to answer their wondering how that could happen *to them*
