This was the last thing I ever tweeted before my dad died and all I can think about almost 10 years later is… ITS OK IF YOU ARE OVERWHELMED WHEN YOUR DAD IS DYING!! ITS OK TO SPILL THE CHILI SOMETIMES
I’m thinking about how we can hit them where it really hurts and that’s by staying away from big businesses as much as possible. Shop locally and support local economies. Donate and utilize FOOD BANKS. Buying things 2nd hand. Set up monthly donations to abortion funds
Being angry at republicans is easy... acknowledging that Dems had the ability to prevent this is harder. They are all contributing to / benefiting from corporate lobbying. essentially it’s democracy theatre. It’s all a show to make us think our votes matter. Fucking terrifying
I mean if Dems can’t codify RvW with majority control of house / senate / President then what are they doing for us? Democrats and republicans alike both want to uphold capitalism and oppress the working class
@Callieen All these conservative politicians saying “I can’t vote pro-choice because my religious views don’t support it”THEN YOU SHOULDNT BE A PUBLIC SERVANT. End of story
I keep thinking about how, with two months notice that this ruling was coming, the democratic-controlled congress not only *didn't* codify abortion rights, but overwhelmingly passed a security bill protecting these SCOTUS justices
Revisited Tremors and one of the many things I love about that movie is how much confidence it has in its practical effects. There's virtually no creature stuff that happens in that movie that's not in broad daylight. Close up shots. Lingering shots. Top tier Movie Monster work.
Criminalizing trans kids, banning the teaching of history, making it harder for Black folks to vote. These are not separate issues, but one fascist movement.
