"A woman living under the crawl space of an Airbnb that she cleaned... At what point can we say the American dream has become a nightmare?"

"It’s mathematically impossible to pull yourself out of homelessness without help... It’s not the moral failing of the people who are unhoused; it’s the moral failing of this country."

Julie Akins, senior housing director at AllCare Health, journalist, and former mayor of Ashland,

@Toastie Just as an aside, it's not actually mathematically impossible to pull oneself out of homelessness. I know so because I literally did it.

@caffetiel @Toastie I'm not convinced you're actually asking in good faith nor am I going to doxx myself by going into detail. The jist of it is that I started by selling candy bars, saved up enough money to obtain and rent a storage unit, slept in that shithole for months on end while I worked shitty fast food and telemarketing jobs, and built enough work experience to get a quote-unquote "real" job, wherein I was able to rent a room. It is possible, depending on where you are.

Do you ever wonder if this country is ever going to be able to find consensus about anything again? It sure doesn’t look that way. And gifted writers and social analysts are so few and far between, I think the best of our civilization is slipping away without much significant comment.

pinkdrunkenelephants,
@pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

@shoq If we're lucky, we'll split up into two separate countries and move on from each other. What's more likely is one side will attempt genocide against the other, and the resulting population drop will allow consensus to be achieved by the dominant faction.

MisuseCase, to TikTok
@MisuseCase@twit.social avatar

I can’t believe I see people on here making the same arguments in favor of a ban that I used to see on Reddit.

This is all Yellow Peril stuff ginned up by a lobbying campaign. TikTok is ’s biggest competitor.

And it won’t even fix China having access to your data if that’s what you’re worried about!

@MisuseCase So they choose to use TikTok as a scapegoat when the problem is originally the U.S. oligarchy's fault in the first place.

They could just ban anyone collecting and selling that information, but being a functional government is just asking too much.

Nancy Mace defends her endorsement of sexual abuser Trump saying she cannot be questioned about her defense because she’s a survivor of sexual abuse

@flexghost They're learning the language of sexual assault victims and are exploiting it to get their way like any salesgoon worth their salt. And I used to do salesgoon work, so I know how they are.

"I want to eat in restaurants but my immune-compromised husband is being a buzzkill"

Hoo boy, this article is pretty disgusting:

pinkdrunkenelephants,
@pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

@inquiline The rest of the world, including she, is figuring out what the right already believed back when covid first started: that life can't just stop because of some disaster.

At least that's what I want to say. The truth is that the husband is the one who stands to lose the most because of this, and for the wife to get what she wants, his rights would have to be violated.

They really need to just divorce.

I just emailed someone at the NYT and used neither the words “insofar,” “shibboleth,” nor “Hegelian.”

I took out all those words.

Because, while I would like to seem like I am smart, I would not like to seem like I’m nineteen and going to Brown.

pinkdrunkenelephants,
@pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

@hotdogsladies The fact that you care so much about how others think of you that it is dictating your word choice makes you look insecure and childish.

pinkdrunkenelephants,
@pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

@hotdogsladies Good, you do have some pride and self-worth. Now take a fifth of a third of the quarter of the anger and hurt you feel toward me and channel it into actually writing what you want without worrying of what others think of you.

Or you can keep proving my point that you are a passive aggressive coward by arguing with me and blaming me, the messenger, so you can capitulate to your masters and not have to feel bad about it. 🤷 Your choice.

pinkdrunkenelephants,
@pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

@hotdogsladies I do so try. And I am being serious, even if you're too offended and hurt to take me seriously. Catering your writing to others will destroy you.

I'd like to add a bit more to what I said about this week's blog post:

https://mastodon.social/

Invented Narratives and the Outrage Industry

It took me several years to understand what I was seeing.

At first, I thought the problem was Twitter algorithms. I thought that was the explanation for why what I was calling rage-inducing simplifications spread like wildfire.

@Teri_Kanefield Have you ever asked those mouth-breathers "Why don't we try... IMPOSING consequences on them... so they can't lie?" Say it slowly to them like they are four

@Teri_Kanefield What's your take on the whole Second Civil War theory? Do you think it might actually happen?

Covid's great lesson was demonstrating that "patriots" who favor government with unshakeable support as long as it is harming people will also deploy impenetrable skepticism and violent opposition as soon as that government seems it might ask them to engage in even tiny acts of harm reduction.

pinkdrunkenelephants,
@pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

@freemo @tessarakt @JuliusGoat So your answer to OP is to prove their point by trying to derail the thread by arguing about abortion? 🤦

Stay "isolated" and not use and other , and stuff or give in and feel bad (or just wrong) in doing so?

@amadeus Honestly, unless you need it to communicate with people you know in real life, stay off of mainstream social media. It offers nothing.

Both grass and ants had barely started to evolve by the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs were at their peak.

A world without grass or ants means that the dinosaurs never got to have an authentic picnic experience.

Via sherrilyn ifill:

LISTEN: Don’t lose the plot. Today’s decision in the Sec 3 case is not just about Trump, it’s also insulates congressional insurrectionists. More alarming is that the concurring justices are telling us in stark terms what is going on with the conservatives on the Court. And it may be worse than we thought.

@GottaLaff So when are we all going to band together and go do something about those motherfuckers?

@GottaLaff Roasting them and eating them with barbecue sauce. Others prefer stir-frying them with some Szechuan, but I like my barbecue.

Hey all,

I know I've been pushing this GoFundMe for a while but I'm really going to need for everyone to try and push this one. The mother with the GoFundMe planned on burying her child this weekend, but the charity which promised to assist her said that they don't have anything for her at the moment and put her on a waiting list. Please give what you can and share.

@BlackAzizAnansi @mutualaid I donated a few bucks. Jesus Christ, I feel BAD for her. I hope she has someone to talk to so she doesn't off herself. 😟
