i want to see the whole GOP congressional delegation catapulted into a volcano, starting with that feckless pipe bomber in a track suit enthusiast from Georgia. can a girl ever get her birthday wish 🥺
BY THE WAY MY LOVELIES
didn't start yesterday because am still battling the #fuckCancer post-radiation fatigue blues, but it's June and y'all know what that means...
🗣️ 📣 IT'S COUNTDOWN TO MY BIRTHDAY ON JUNE 10TH!!!!
UPDATE!
so my first ask for my #birthday is 5 of your favorite birthday party tracks. and yes, i will be putting all together into a playlist. go as hard and as mellow as y'all want. am here for all of it.
🗣📣 IT’S SIX DAYS TO #BdayForLiza BUT YOU CAN WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTH MONTH NOW!!
June is also Puerto Rican Heritage month. there is a 1966 pic of me somewhere in the bowels of the NYTimes with papi holding my newborn self in one hand and a Puerto Rican flag on the other.
and because there is no voguing nor drag houses in NYC without Puerto Ricans, June is also #LGBTQI Pride Month.
June is the month to celebrate ME, Puerto Rican heritage & queerness. coincidence? I THINK NOT!
WHOA! Samantha Power may not be a household name, but was one of Obama's trusted advisors on international politics, serving as his ambassador to the United Nations. Ms Power is not at all a progressive or leftist or any sort. she's your sundry Democratic Party yuppie. this is huge if she's resigning over Biden's #Gaza policy. she knows #genocide. she won a pulitzer prize for writing about it.
REMINDER: corporatism IS fascism. USA's political elites are controlled by unelected corporatist oligarchs for whom politics isn't about party or nation but business. checkout how the DNC wants to price out the little people from their fundraisers. this is literal corporate capture but with political parties because oligarchs only care about the state violence they can capture & profit from.
AND WHY AM CALLING Y'ALL WHITE PEOPLE OUT especially if y'all out in the south? because more White people voted for Trump, a Republican, in 2020 than at any time in USA history. in the middle of a pandemic. after sitting at the last minute another illegitimate SCOTUS justice to the bench, Amy Barret Cohen, a woman who is literally in her thiclose to heretical flavor of Catholicism, a handmaiden.
61% of white men and 55% of white women voted for Trump in 2020.
as @IveyJanette reminds us, #Trump wants to hold a fundraiser rally at Madison Square Garden; so here's A NIGH AT THE GARDEN, a short documentary made entirely with archival footage from the night #Nazis held a rally at #MSG in 1939.
you will notice then, just like today, cops protecting the Nazis from protesters; including ISADORE GREENBAUM, a courageous Jewish man who stormed the stage in protest.
to those of y'all saying, nothing is gonna happen on July 11th, here's the thing:
🗣️ 📣 TAKE EVERY WIN ONE AT A TIME
YES, the man wasn't thrown in jail unlike millions of others working class shmucks; especially the Blacker & browner ones.
NO, this is not the time to shit on a win. this is the time to reckon not prosecuting more white-collar crimes since the 1990s, BY RICH OLD WHITE AMERICAN GUYS, is why USA is now ran by a fascist conspiracy of Wall Street, Techbro and Christofascist mafias.

One thing struck me: 12 jurors felt safe enough to convict him. He's more vulnerable now than he's been since the 1970s. His strong man boy crushes around the globe would never have let this happen.
«...for every repair, an independent repair shop must send #Samsung your name, address, telephone number, your phone’s unique serial number and IMEI, your “customer complaint,” and all the details of your repair. »
@blogdiva Which is probably directly contradicting European data protection laws.
Personal data (and name or IMEI is exactly that) cannot be transferred at all by the mere wish of some Korean entity. European repair shops that follow this contractual obligation are in violation of law.
Even an EULA might not make this legal, because one can clearly repair a device without transmitting such data. And for personal data one has to show that the data transfer is actually necessary.
i was told i was gonna hit a wall of fatigue sometime after the 2nd or 3rd week after finishing treatment. am glad to be alive and on my way to recovery but this sucks ass.
we need #UBI as part of health care. nobody should have to be precariously unemployed during a situation like this.
anybody having to go to a job during or after #cancer treatment is lying to do that they can handle it.
this is not bullshit. to be forced to work thru a #health crisis is eugenics.
@blogdiva I feel you - I had to quit my full time job during cancer treatment, I couldn’t handle it. Plus you have to spend all your time fighting the insurance mafia. when you’re at your very lowest they still want to not pay. Anyway sending love and empathy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
there is a reason i use MIGRANT, instead of the jingoistic immigrant.
humans have alway migrated. we are primates. most primates, even gorillas, would move around more freely if humans had not destroyed most of our habitats.
it's natural for humans to migrate.
colonialism + imperialism + capitalism + racism have destroyed much of our natural migratory patterns.
no, it’s not civilization or modernity that made us evolve into sedentary beings.
DIDN'T THE COURTS OR DoL RECENTLY SAY NDAs ARE ILLEGAL?
«I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.»
