Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

    TIL: Up to 85% of Americans Believe Abortion Should Be Legal in At Least Some Circumstances Despite What Politicians Say

    Jump

  • I mean, what were you expecting?

    Inflation is legitimately bad and affects every aspect of one's life in this country, and unlike abortion, adversely affects nearly the whole population of this country.

    One of the lessons of fascist history is that, when people can't afford basic necessities, they start caring less about social issues.

  • Unfortunately for that 85% of Americans, we're not actually a democracy.

  • The national news media got behind it big, which I really don't understand.

    It never made any sense.

  • What shitty stuff did you discovered when you became adult?

    Jump

  • Yup, there were even black defense groups and militias (and are still many today), like the Deacons for Defense.

    But you won't learn about them in school, on purpose, and you're taught the illegitimacy of Malcolm X' ideology and the Nation of Islam on purpose. The state wants you to think that peaceful protest is the only acceptable and legitimate means of protest.

  • Breaking Free From Social Media Silos With The Fediverse

    Jump

  • Correct.

    The corporate media platforms have algorithmically-driven content that is unregulated.

    The fediverse doesn't, which means you get two distinctly separate experiences.

  • What shitty stuff did you discovered when you became adult?

    Jump

  • What comes to mind to me are two things:

    1. The absurdity of religion. I was raised Christian but always asked tough questions, to which people responded with the various platitudes religious people love to use. (The most popular being "God works in mysterious ways.") I missed out on a lot of sexual experience and mistreated a lot of people because I was taught to behave in certain ways, and I regret it deeply.

    2. How much I was lied to or information omitted by my educators growing up, particularly on history. I read history books for fun, and have learned over time about many things that were deliberately withheld from my education, like the Tulsa Massacre and the Battle of Blair Mountain, or stories of the Black Panthers' community building work, or the wholesale exploitation and destruction of indigenous people to make handful of people rich via the reservation system and Indian Ring.

  • I think it's unfortunate that gender roles and stereotypes figure so strongly into spousal support rulings.

    It should be based on finances and need.

    Also, don't get married without a prenup. Ever.

  • Breaking Free From Social Media Silos With The Fediverse

    Jump

  • I only ever check my corporate social media now because I get DM's for various business-related things.

    The Fediverse, for me, has been the best experience. Most people are willing to have good-faith conversations. Those who don't are easily blocked, and if they break the rules, moderators are on hand to make sure they go kaput.

    Also, for the low low price of donating $10 a month (along with other subscribers) I get zero ads and no algorithm fuckery messing up my experience.

    Can't say that about any of the corporate media services.

    Best to call their local office and speak to a human. At least that way your position gets recorded, but be nice to the person who answers the call. It's generally not the interns' fault that the legislator's an ass.
