Opt out. Unsubscribe. Boycott. Grow your own food. Live in a tiny house or have several roommates. Buy locally. Use cash. Buy pre-owned. Borrow. Lend. Repair. Be ok with having less. Shut this shit show down. These are radical acts of resistance.

I often see multiple "#1 Fan!" merchandise for the same team. All but one of them are liars.

In (And On) My Head

Waiting for haircut
Fifty percent chance it’s good
Could be a mistake
Why take such risks with scissors?
Since I walked in beautiful

Is all poetry manipulation? Is writing about whether poetry is manipulation also manipulation?

it's soooo sick that i can earn a living making weird videos that'll never draw a wide audience. that's remarkable. someone on @neverpo.st recently said the future of internet creatives isn't about going viral, it's about having a few hundred ride or dies. it's SO LIBERATING to be at that point <3

listening to some stevie and i kind of think that you could bring a good chunk of americans back from the abyss if you could just get them to listen to β€œAs” and force them to hear him sing/growl β€œdid you know that you're loved by somebody?!?”

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Carrying campaign mailers straight from my mailbox to my recycling bin is a bummer. Couldn’t there be less of them? And the ones we do get list upcoming live speaking opportunities and candidate forums?
