My grandfather used to say “and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel” and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.
people celebrating the arrest of a woman for the fictional sexual content in a fictional book she wrote…how does it feel to have literally 2 brain cells ping ponging aimlessly around in your empty cathedral of a head I have to know
@emilykmay H*tl*r when giving speeches tended to slap his chest before giving the salute too.
Also, if it really was accidental, he'd tell us and apologize. Prince Harry literally dressed as a n^zi for halloween once. Immediately apologized and took a class with a rabbi, too.
I am also going to text my small group and decide if I'm bringing dessert or a side to our inauguration grief support meeting on Friday

Here's what I'm going to do today to fight fascism:
-ignore the "Gulf of America" nonsense because that's distraction to get us angry and tired sooner
-call* my reps and complain about the salute
-also complain about what Trump said about PA votes
#resistance#Fascism#tr
-draft my upcoming newsletter and make clear where I stand
-in my newsletter recommend a book written by Authors Of Color (which I try to do anyway)
*call don't email. The NRA gets their people to call and it's far more effective

@TheHollyRiddle Sounds good! I've mostly left Twitter (you can see were not mutuals anymore because of an account glitch on my end). But we're in the sub discord and I'm on a couple of other social media too
This is the new desensitization . To numb us to this kind of pro war on our allies language from MAGA. Get ready for the full court press from Putin’s mouthpieces including Fox News.
I'm releasing a #historicalromance novella on Feb 4 and I'm looking for ARC readers! Check out this link if you're interested in Victorian romance, women's higher ed, a man who pines so bad for his love, class difference, and fighting the patriarchy.

@JambonFrit20 @emilykmay A lot of men's rights activism doesn't just exclude those men, they are also actively racist, homophobic, and transphobic.
I'm thinking more of preteens exposed to Andrew Tate without an adult to protect them from brainwashing
-Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing
-Belief it won't happen to you is a helluva drug ("the Leopard Eating Party won't eat MY face" says the 43% of Hispanic voters in Texas and the 54% of white women nationally who voted for Trump)
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk 🤣
My very unscientific take on why That Asshole won again:
-54% of Americans have a reading level of 5th grade or less
-Misogyny is encouraged by pundits, news, etc in a way it wasn't 8 years ago
-People have short memories (even people who said Biden was as bad as That Asshole 1/?
-People are stressed abt grocery prices (me too!!) but never research why, they just assume it's the president's fault
-Somewhere we have truly dropped the ball on protecting male children from radicalization before their brains are developed enough to reject brainwashing 2/?
