Hey I just wanna remind you that you're not always gonna agree with other leftists and you can still work with them. When I was... cough cough... reading about the No Kings protests, I was thinking about the variety of opinions in those crowds. Some of them are Democrats. Some are anti-MAGA Republicans. At least where I live, almost none of them are leftists. But we they still accomplished something by banding together for a specific cause.

This to say, nothing is ever gonna be perfect, but you can join your local groups anyway, you can get newsletters from sources you only agree with on the big stuff, you can start a chapter of an organization in a town where only Democrats are going to join. You might be the only leftist in the room, but the people you're feeding/teaching/housing/caring for don't particularly care about your stance on the ethics of eating meat. They care about your willingness to stand up for them and be in community with them. When you find a cause you care about, adding dividers between you and the people doing the work only slows the work being done.

@elenorasweet I know this isn't close to you but it's closer to you than me, and it'd be Wollmeise without international shipping if you've got any friends in the area?

hi knitting tumblr. um i don't knit but my aunt recently passed and left behind a bunch of extremely high quality yarn. i know very little about yarn and even less about knitting, so i'd like to sell it, and i'm planning on trying ravelry and local facebook groups, but i wanted to see if there's anybody local who is interested.

i live in southern ontario, but the yarn is currently in central ontario. if there's enough interest i could do a yard sale instead of transporting the yarn home? let me know and we'll see

i'm attaching some pics to give an idea of what i've got. this is only a fraction of it. please let me know if you have any interest or know anyone who would be willing to purchase some! i'd also appreciate any more advice on sites, communities, etc. where i could offload some of it.

Like, I get she's going for the Madonna piss-off-prudes playbook with a slightly different take, instead of a riding crop and a cone bra it's an anonymous hotel room and hair-pulling. Sabrina, I support you in your "fuck you I don't do what you tell me, except when you're telling me in bed, which is transgressive" endeavors. I am not judging your sex choices, I don't think they make you particularly unfemininist or A Bad Role Model.

What offends ME about it is how boring it is visually. All that black and beige, it looks like those fake-edgy Calvin Klein woodpanel porno ads. "oooh, pushing BOUNDARIES." I'm not worried about your effect on the youth, but if you're gonna get bedbugs from that nasty-ass Motel Six carpet, and what you and the photographer were on when you made those color and composition choices. Sordid and outré are generally speaking good album cover choices from an artistic and memorability standpoint, but you've overshot artsy without reaching taboo, girl. You're not even to camp. Go watch some more John Waters and try again.

How do you feel about the Sabrina Carpenter discourse?

honestly extremely funny that people are so mad about an image that's so tame. people are talking about it like it's hardcore pussy out p o r n and then you google it and it actually looks like a perfume commercial that decided to get a tiny bit risqué

OK, you know me, I hate therapyspeak outside of you know, therapy. But "waah everybody treats me like shit" (attempts to treat nicely) "no that's not what I want I want to be able to treat YOU like shit" - that's not a rollie-bag of stuff to unpack but a full-on 1890s steamer trunk, possibly with a body in it.

(to be clear, I don't think this guy is mentally ill, just an asshole. But I do think the whole 'I don't want things to be better for me I want them to suck more for you' thing is a sad, weird and scary way to live and I don't get why so many people these days embrace it.)

the way men resent women for having the “”privilege”” of getting shit they don’t even want is so fascinating to me I want to study them in a lab

Nothing shuts down a bougie conversation like "well, when I was homeless—" Nothing. It's one and done. They are fucking taken out. The conversation is dead. Done.

So far in LA an Australian news reporter has been shot in the leg by a rubber bullet, a British reporter has been shot by a sponge bullet and sent to the hospital for emergency surgery. A NY Post reporter has been shot in the head with a rubber bullet and went to the hospital for a large bruise on his forehead, whiplash and neck pain, and CNN reporters were handcuffed and escorted away being told to not come back or they will be arrested BECAUSE they are reporters.

It seems like all reporters there to give the real story are being targeted by police/ICE/military in LA.
