@Needmoresleep19 @aaronjakes We live under a "two party" system. It seems inescapable. But it isn't. It is not divine right. It is not inevitable. Two party rule is not a foundation of the constitution. It is not sacred. It is not necessary. It is not adult to accept it. Protest & resistance are democratic.
This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.
If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.
Just going to continue emphasizing that this, detaining a bunch of people who haven’t been convicted of a crime and incarcerating them en masse in a fortified location against their will because they are part of a specific ethnicity or other group, is a concentration camp
This video got over 300,000 Likes in less than 24 hours
Again, it’s about US Congress
I think it’s fair to say the American People are wide awake to the absolute scam that Congress really is and have had enough
The TikTok ban is not about China, in fact it has nothing to do with China. #tiktokban
ppl don't talk enough about how detrimental it is to be passively su1c1dal. like not wanting to kys but not wanting to live life and never having a plan bc the comforting thought that you might die at some point makes you not ever make a plan for the future. who else deals w this
alpha bros be having podcasts where they coach other men to be hyper-masculine controlling red-flag assholes meanwhile every woman i know is completely horny for this 40 sec clip of tom holland in drag shaking his little ass to a feminist anthem
@RogueKite@upholdreality It's the HAVING insurance, PAYING $$$ for it, and KNOWING that it will not actually cover anything or (more relevantly) get you the care you need that is infuriating.
(Cobra is $$$, the PCP's office is booked, so you're just burning your money bc no one will actually treat you.)
@angel_0f_deathx Is it wrong that I immediately thought of George Washington Carver, and then hoped that he was a well satisfied man?
(Note, he never got paid his worth, but he did invent like 1000 uses for peanuts and popularized peanut butter.)
@hacktothefuture @heymrsbond Sorry to break it to you, but Arthur Miller was a white dude.
(I know, right? Shocking to consider, but both "The Crucible" and "Death of a Salesman" really were written by a white guy...)
@heymrsbond Larissa FastHorse: "What Would Crazy Horse Do?"
It killed me. So good. (Published in a volume with "The Thanksgiving Play" which should 100% be required reading in teacher colleges, as well as unis and schools.)
@jonothingEB This reminds me of Terry Eagleton's book on Literary Theory, where in the afterword he suggests that if you're waiting for Marxist theory, you haven't been reading his work closely enough.
(I ADORED this move as an undergrad reader, like Birnam Wood moving in Act 5 of Macbeth.)
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
@winterahea47491 @Svetz17@classiclits She didn't immigrate: she had a 200k paid year long holiday, fan-girled a few gurus, found a boyfriend, wrote about finding love after divorce, then got divorced again.
(Lemme know when someone from India claims Nunavut elders gave them the secret to living & writes about it...)
@Svetz17@classiclits every time this film is advertised (or streaming) I feel such a deep sense of ick...
Like, we get it, but Julia please stop licking your gelato & contemplating your privilege, it's been 15 years & we don't care if she's getting laid. (The author got a 200K advance to EAT ffs.)
@classiclits Crime and Punishment, which I read in the 90s. Next book that affected me that way was the YA novel in verse Long Way Down, by Jason Reynolds. (This book is excellent for making middle graders trip: like Dostoevsky for kids.) https://t.co/AH7xmziuIG
