Going on 14 minutes of totality. If I keep it together, I will be in the hours club when the eclipse comes back to Turtle Island

Tooting from a pruned sensibility for the moment, I must refocus in lieu of new realities

Always anti fascist, anti racist, anti capitalist, anti patriarchy/oligarchy/colonialism

Since people are talking about Kent State, Ohio, 1970, it's a good time to talk about Jackson State, Mississippi, 1970.

Similar situation, except there was no active protest, just a bunch of students hanging out. The mayor of Jackson declared a riot and called in the pigs. Someone threw a glass bottle, not at the pigs, but they still opened fire. Phillip Gibbs, a student at Jackson State, and James Green, a high school student who was walking home from his job, were murdered by cops. Many others were wounded.

Sepia-toned photo of a couple in a casual seated pose, looking towards the camera. She is on the left, nearly sitting on his lap, smiling, wearing a dark knee-length dress with buttons up the front and a wide collar, holding a white purse. Her hair is straight, shoulder-length, curled at the end, with bangs. He is wearing light-colored slacks and a boldly patterned shirt, like a Hawaiian short, and has his arm around his wife. His hair is short and his expression is more curious than friendly.

Indeed, and something to remember as the fascism escalates and ratchets:

The tactic is to impose rules upon people arbitrarily.

As well as the fact that it's a new set of rules these days

Today our 20ish-year-old cat passed away and we had to put an end to his suffering.

I would like to express that despite having to witness his suffering for Earth Day I tried to not make this about me as much as I could because, to be honest, The climate crisis is an issue that has severe consequences.

I could not give less of a shit about those who choose inaction and to be careless. I am sorry but if you can't have compassion for this issue there is something wrong with you.

I love the earth deeply and this gives me the courage to care and despite adversity to do what is good.

Needless to say, climate change deniers are going to be uncared for by this community.

So I am hearing that there was a stunning walk out by professors

Which is very encouraging because there was a huge police presence this morning and I'm betting they had wind of the walkout and were going to make some arrests

But looking at that picture, they had no chance it's like 50 protesters to every police officer

Very. Satisfying.

And at this point since it's proliferating there may be no stopping it

@RickiTarr My mom had to maintain her image her whole life which is understandable her father was chairman of the board of supervisors of LA county for 9terms.

Thing was it didn't work well for her especially in her first marriage which she left after four kids to marry the second Lebanese guy in the parish.

Huge scandal

He was one of the first litigation consultants, massaging truth, to help lawyers lie better.

So it was a perfect storm him massaging her image both convinced of its truth

We bonded because he had a very old dog that knew my first dog

Anyway I was talking about Columbia and they said I know it's terrible I said no it's wonderful and she asked Oh are you for Hamas?

It occurs to me that like the good Germans, Japanese r a country of defeated fascists and therefore very sensitive to the notion that they may be, overly sensitive to the point where they may defend them

The next time I see him I will politely smile and not wave and if he waves the second time I will tell him that frankly I am very concerned that he supports fascists and leave it at that unless there's a better way of doing it that someone might know?

We already have 1,000 would-be Mozarts who instead of learning music and honing their skills are doing shit jobs for shit wages. They're spending their time just surviving instead of blessing the rest of us with music we'd love.

What these would-be Mozarts need is basic income.

It should also be mentioned that pretty invariably that level of genius happens when there is support. Mozart for all his poverty was I'm pretty sure especially at the end of his life with at least daily care... But a pauper's grave was a lot more common than one might think as far as I can surmise

And that's completely forgetting performers

It's baby boomer bootstrap bromide bullshit to say an opera singer won't thrive with extra help, which translates to immeasurable joy

I am rescheduling my afternoon taxes appointment.

Not feeling good. Not feeling like I'll be able to keep my shit together, if I have to deal with any random public today. I'm having one of those super difficult, overly emotional days. When I feel that I could either start crying or start screaming, at the slightest provocation.

I avoid all public encounters when feeling like this. I don't want to misdirect sadness/anger/frustration. I listen to my internal orange flags & heed them. Self-care.

Laughing is one of the better things for stamina and sleep, and it would be really cool to get a nice compendium of different breathing approaches and concepts / techniques

really annoying to see the young white commentariat columbusing that the New York Times is at its very core, a yellow propaganda rag.

that "All The News That's Fit To Print"? they took this motto on, all the while failing to report on the USA govt atrocities in the islands they invaded during the Sp-Am War; incl Puerto Rico.

NYTimes are masters at lying by omission. that's exactly what they did with the WMDs lies they sold to help Bush & Cheney invade Iraq

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

voxofgod,
@voxofgod@jorts.horse avatar

@RickiTarr I went from a private Catholic school in La cañada California for my first year to a public school South Pasadena high School for my sophomore year, my junior year was at Templeton high School

Being the difficult autistic kid with constant gut pain didn't make me too popular but I was kind of cool in my own way because I survived that and developed my own unique worldview that everyone was at least a little interested in

My high caste privilege probably played into that as well..

voxofgod,
@voxofgod@jorts.horse avatar

@RickiTarr But high school was a trial for me It didn't help that my sexual abuser was also the person that drove me to my first year in school, without a word in the car

And that I was told to shut up about the sexual abuse, without a word being said to me

And had to figure out how that was normal

So it took me until my 40s to understand that stuff, but I left high school one year early for junior college

@RickiTarr the nastiest part was being used as a tennis ball being volleyed in the game of my parents hate

But the up is down mentality has given me a touchstone of reality and I'm promise I'm not trying to rhyme

And there are certain tones of voice and turns of phrase that I will not engage with any longer as a result some of them is trauma-based but the other is kind of like if I were the Muhammad Ali of autistic masking, ropa doping until their full ass is shown in their hate

Coming back from the eclipse, getting on the subway at the Port authority bus terminal, there were two national guards and two police officers at the turnstile

SB19 data from us fuels entirely appropriate to mention here that 150 million spent to stop $1,000 worth of Subway fare evasion And I don't think that includes the national guards presence that was a new addition recently

Will you make up your mind?

It's Zionism is anti-Semitic, it is so because you are creating an ethno Nazi state

What is more, you are genociding Palestinians doing so

So either you have a horrible faith that likes to kill people, or it's not Judaism doing this

But you are sitting on the fence so that you can troll for genocide and post for clout

I was just informed by one of the admins that I have 14 days to leave functional.cafe after I called a troll doing genocide apologia in my comments a zionist ape, where should I go? What servers don't bow to the complaints of ?

Functional.cafe are claiming I'm simply a multiple offender of their rules, which i will admit is true ever since they changed their rules, but I would like for it to be clear. They changed their rules in October specifically to accommodate Zionists complaining about my posts, the very day a tagged post of mine blew up and became among the most shared BDS posts on the activity pub network. I initially agreed to CW political posts, but as 's in has accelerated, killing all but one of my students in Gaza along with most of their families, I've concluded that hiding this behind content warnings is itself bowing to mild repression for the sake of satisfying the demands of the most extreme oppression: genocide.

I've seen plenty of pro-genocide posts in the local server feed. I dont think they are being asked to leave or even getting their posts censored, as mine increasingly have been (even removing posts with many likes from months ago, apparently on demand).

I'm sad I'll be losing all my past posts, especially those about and that I occasionally rediscover. Where can I go that won't turn similarly sour? My time with the may be up tbh. After being blocked and soft-blocked by nearly everyone I was buddies with in the community (for years!) for being an anti-genocide Jew, and now this, its quite clear that even spaces that act like they stand for universal liberties above all are actually willing supporters of the most oppressive regimes and ideologies on the planet. At least insofar as they are in origin and character.
