Hey folks. I'm a fan of this lady's work, 'cause she says good words about the Star Treks and the genders, and some shitwagon scammed her out of $5000 literally days before paying for upcoming surgeries. That $5k getting stolen has put her in a more financially precarious position, as you might imagine, so here I am goin' out and signal-boosting her gofundme 'cause I'm broke as shit and that's the best I can do.

countries are a scam invented to sell more nationalism

The idea of "checking out" and "returning" a digital file is hot capitalist wankgarbage. Libraries ought to be allowed to freely copy and redistribute electronic materials.

1: Phone service is out where I live, meaning so is the DSL, until further notice.

2: A pipe burst in the unit above mine. Thankfully, my room was spared the worst of it and I have somewhere to stay for the immediate future.

I am disabled and unemployed, only able to live where I do because I'm in a low-income unit with my stepdad. My life is hard enough, and we all know how money makes it easier. If you have any cash to spare: https://paypal.me/LexYeen

that's me in the garbage

that's me in the trash, bin

boosting all these shitposts

Y'all have been amazing about content warnings so far, but could all y'all *please* be descriptive with your content warnings so folks know what they're getting into when they click that show more button?

"hard topic," "tough news," and things like that aren't descriptive enough to prepare someone for something like, to use a recent example, discussion of the recent shooting death of an anti-ICE activist in Seattle by the authorities.

@kyzh Not to mention, "juche" is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche

"Juche is the official state ideology of North Korea, described by the government as Kim Il-sung's "original, brilliant and revolutionary contribution to national and international thought"."

Speaking as an ex-channer: North Korea's government is "jokingly" held in high regard by that flavor of fascist on a regular basis, making that instance's domain name alone a positively gigantic dogwhistle.

Look, *I get it.* This shit is capital-I Important.

But please, try to remember, not everyone has the energy to get blasted in the face with this shit every time they look at their home feed, even though some of us are *desperately* looking for ways to help without destroying our own endurance in this fucking marathon of a fight for survival.

Content warnings exist so we can opt in, and share responsibly without hurting our friends.

Please use them.

Casual reminders: Lyft and Uber both operate at massive losses. Lyft and Uber drivers are striking on the 8th. Capitalists only care about their profits.

No shade from me if Lyft or Uber is literally the only option for your transportation, for whatever reason may apply, but *please* consider planning alternate transportation for the day all the same.

For everyone's information: Today's emergency alert test was originally scheduled during the Obama administration, and it was delayed until today. I suspect the delays may have been due to it being an Obama administration program, as we are all well aware of what Republicans think of him and his administration.

Please note that I am not saying "don't be mad." I am saying "be mad for factually correct reasons."

I've never liked the idea of using the word "feral" to describe anthropomorphic characters whose only human features are intelligence and capacity for speech. Why? "Feral" as a word implies a certain lack of intelligence and/or reason, and a deeply animalistic personality besides.

Fear not, for I have found an alternative term in the pages of the tabletop RPG system "Hc Svnt Dracones." That term is: "lateral."
