Io da ragazzo sentii #LarksTongueInAspic in ordine non cronologico (ovvero cominciai dal part2, che rimane la mia preferita oggi) ma quando sentii la prima parte, rimasi letteralmente folgorato
Love when Instagram refreshes right after I post yet again about the seething hypocrisy, #sexism, #misogyny and #transphobia of all the mainstream social media platforms and US legislation banning "female nipples" as "sexually explicit nudity" while "male nipples" aren't and LITERALLY THE FIRST POST TO SHOW is some YouTube dude I follow posting a topless "fitness update" 🙃 Fuck the #patriarchy, and if you consider yourself #progressive, please notice and speak the fuck up about the insanity of #gender based #censorship. I'm tired of feeling so alone.
The challenges that came with Robert M. La Follette’s run as a third-party presidential candidate in 1924 are eerily similar to those of today with America’s two-party system #Progressive#LaFollette
Obama was the best president of my lifetime, but a lot of Democrats don’t seem to know that.
The influence of GOP media has a long reach. In subtle ways, such as language and framing, it seeps into everything from the New York Times to liberal social media. It seems to have convinced a number on the left that Obama was evil.

@basssounds Nice! I hope you'll find something you'll enjoy :)
I'm very tempted to recommend my favourite song from Mastodon then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAdxjTm7sfQ
It is from the concept album 'Leviathan', based on Moby Dick. This is at the end of the album, when they finally fight the white whale, fall into the sea, can't breathe and are terrified, as the beast is relentlessly attacking them. Some screams are to be expected. #Metal#Progressive#Heavy#Sludge#Mastodon
While planning on begrudgingly casting a ballot for Biden this year, it's wild to see so many takes saying, "Yeah, #genocide is bad, but OTHER THAN THAT..." as if that's something you can gloss over. That's some real #neoliberal BS.
And it's not even like Biden will do anything meaningful on the #ClimateCrisis either, the other greatest threat facing our world. His continued subsidies of #FossilFuels and giving passes to mega carbon emitters over the past four years is proof of that.
And don't give me BS about, "bUt He'Ll sTaBIlIzE DeMoCraCy!!!" The previous administration showed where the holes in the US government system were and where safeguards should have been deployed. Instead of working to install those safeguards, he chose to use them as a bargaining chip for a second term.
Improvements to The Economy(TM) and employment numbers means shit when people have to work 2 or 3 jobs to keep their families off the street.
I urge all who can to vote for Biden in the hopes that the administration stabilizes the broken country long enough for the next generation, whom we have SORELY wronged, to present a new generation of truly #progressive leaders and hope that another term doesn't further entrench the "conservative-lite." I equally urge you to hold him accountable for his misdeeds.
“So all those promises to world leaders about his commitment to a 2 state solution were a bunch of lies,” Martin Indyk, the United States’ former ambassador to Israel, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “And all those enablers who swore Bibi was serious about peace have some [e]xplaining to do.”
