i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

Yesterday a kid said to me "excuse me? Your hair looks like beautiful anime hair" which is already amazing and then she said "watch me on your camera when I go down the slide I'm going to do the Peter Griffin death pose when I come out" and she sure did.

A split in time if i may

it’s wild the way ppl are misusing the rhetoric around the confederacy to alienate potential allies that are defecting from MAGA

The notion of “the biggest failure of the civil war was that the confederacy wasn’t punished enough” is not about the individuals in the South, it’s about the fucking plantation owners, and the fact that they were allowed to keep their wealth, power, and land after the war ended. Lincoln had planned on dividing up their land and wealth between their former slaves, but when he was assassinated, those plans went down the drain because Andrew Johnson was a total fuckhead. That’s the failure that scholars of the period talk about- not that every schmuck who lived down South should’ve gotten spanked.

Now I know it feels fucking good to rub former MAGAs faces in the dirt, mock them and tell them it’s too little too late and to fuck off and die. I want to do that too, but you know what? We fucking need them. We need as many goddamn people to rise up against this regime as humanly possible, and if we push these people away, they’re either gonna become apathetic or go right back to their stupid cult.

Now, you as an individual may not have the stomach for working with these folks; that’s fine. But fucking stop shooting us all in the foot by pushing them away from the movement. Step aside and let the people with the time and patience to bring them into the fold deal with them, and just shut the fuck up about it while we do the work

ever engage with a media you really really liked and thought you were going to become obsessed with but it doesn’t quite lodge itself into your brain at the correct angle and you can just brush fingertips with the version of yourself from the alternate reality where it completely corrupted your every waking thought

I bet it feels good as fuck to activate countermeasures

fuck em up gang

[starrycardinal]

Before anyone twists my words, no I am not telling you to read mein kampf or anything like that. I am suggesting you engage with media that takes you out of your safe zone so you can think on real world problems such as racism or misogyny
