The white house press release on Arab American Heritage Month goes out of its way to mention Oct. 7 and Hamas. (Not April Fools)

I am an astronomer and my partner is an ethical hacker so between us we are doing pretty well on the "cool job" front. I write novels and my partner composes music, so we also have "cool creative hobby" on lock. We're both anarchists, obviously the cool political philosophy. So on paper we are very cool.

In reality we've been wearing pyjamas for five days straight and we just spent ten minutes chanting "hot cross buns!" at each other in differing silly voices.

Even on a cloudy day the bluebonnets are awesome as fuck. These horny blue sluts are hellbent on reproduction. I wish you could smell their excellent perfume, the whole farm smells like a high-end brothel. #BloomScrolling

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This year has already seen escalations against our community that many thought unprecedented. But you aren't alone, and you also aren't defenseless. This Trans Day of Visibility, make yourself a visible threat to fascists and christo-fascism!

People don't talk enough about the specific grief and pain that comes when you realize —not just suspect or worry, but REALIZE —that your big dream will not be coming true.

Maybe you're not going to get the job you dreamed of, or the love story you long for, or to escape poverty or illness. Or to avoid climate change.

I think a lot of us suffer from this grief for a future gone without even realizing that the ghosts of our deceased dreams are haunting us, showing up in our anxiety, our addictions, our anhedonia.

You can't move on without mourning. Not with your zombie dreams tottering after you, jaws agape, hungry for your devotion. Ask yourself if you might be suffering because of this.

Ask yourself if your dream is really still attainable and go after it, or ready yourself for its last rites. Let it go and free yourself.

There are other dreams than these.

Sickening brutality and systemic State violence on display by law enforcement across the US this week.

CW: Racist abuse and sexual assault.

In Mississippi, officers who belonged to a self-described "Goon Squad" were sentenced for torturing two Black men in what is described as a "nightmare of racially motivated beatings, torture, sexual assaults and even a mock execution," after officers broke into a home without a warrant following complaints by neighbors that "several Black men were staying at a White woman’s home." One man was even shot by officers, after they placed a gun inside of his mouth.

Officers attempted a cover up by planting drugs, stealing surveillance footage, and agreeing on a cover story. They made it clear to their victims that they were inflicting this violence because the two Black men were in what was considered a white area of town. This was not an isolated incident, community members report that these officers terrified people for years.

Meanwhile in the bay area, "FBI agents raided a federal women’s prison in California this week so plagued by sexual abuse that it was known among inmates and workers as the “rape club.” Officials are also facing charges for retaliating against prisoners who filed a class-action lawsuit against the abuse. As one attorney on the case stated, "There is no accountability...and the sexual abuse keeps festering and festering until it blows up. They tend to shuffle the offenders. Officials in prisons can be the worst because they are so jaded that all the complaints fall on deaf ears about the guards.”

This brutality is endemic to a system based on violent settler-colonial subjugation, class rule, patriarchy, and white supremacy. It cannot be reformed - only abolished and thrown to the dust-bin of history.

Those aren't Biden bucks Genocide Joe is spending, that's our money that they remove from our paychecks every pay pay day. So we're going to give more weapons and money to Israel to slaughter Palestinian babies, and we're definitely NOT going to fund the UN relief agency that provides for the well-being of Palestinians.

It doesn't matter what Genocide Joe says, what matters is what he does, and this is what he's doing. So fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the genocidal Democrats. I would rather someone kicks me in the nuts than vote for any democrat in any election.

$1 trillion for the military?

CW: Suicide mention

I kinda feel like this should be mentioned in Biden's legacy, too. Article from December, but this is the first time I've seen it.

More than 50,000 Americans died by suicide in 2023 — more than any year on record.

Lol, so lemme see if I understand this correctly; to pass a government spending bill, we've agreed to not restart funding for the UNRWA (and starving Palestinians) for a full year, ban LGBTQ flags at US embassies, and completely shutter the US House Office of Diversity and Inclusion?

Man, this liberal anti-fascism stuff is amazing.

I'm old enough to remember when Barack Obama said "go fuck yourself" and Ted Cruz almost committed career suicide while effectively ending the Tea Party caucus.

Boomers really had the sheer numbers to create any sociopolitical reality they wanted and they chose homophobia and credit scores.

crockett, 2 months ago to random

As usual, the shitlibs have no clue about anarchy. Organizing food serves, libraries, community gardens, medic classes, and doing other antifascist work is about defending our communities, not endangering us.

i am actually opposed to the categorisation of "heavy music" and metal and punk as its subcategories. leave aside the problem of superficiality and need to leave aside all subtleties of the sounds of the musicians within those genres. my bone to pick is quality of the definition. There is clearly a single vein that is source to both streams. You can hear it from all the participants and in crossing overs and in mid-ways. You can listen to "War Pigs" of Sabbath and then listen to "Know Your Rights" of Clash. It is more interesting to look at all these as variations of blues than two different things. On the other hand, look at Five Finger Death Punch or look at ZZ Top. Or on the myriad of pop punk bands without a visible ethos. Or at GG Allin. These have superficial trappings of the vein, but no underlying musical or artistic structure or purpose. Or look at the Metallica. Is this the same band that wrote "Disposable Heroes" and the zombie kicking around these days? The problem isn't with the sound. Heavy music is largely a watered down version of a tradition that helps bury it.
