The point has been made repeatedly, but I still cannot get over how "there is a market for labor, sometimes market conditions change, and companies actually have to participate in that market" is being covered like some crisis that requires desperate and unorthodox measures.

"Desperate employers using perks, pay to lure workers"




Hell yeah.

Anyone know of good emergency preparedness/sufficiency resources that don't have an unsettling current of right-wing fearmongering or aggressive nationalism beneath them?
in reply to Spencer

Over on Scuttlebutt, someone pointed me to the idea of "community preparedness". It's excellent, and is really helping me find other resources! I especially liked their recommendation of the podcast "Live Like the World Is Dying", by Margaret Killjoy.




This is, to the letter, one of the motivating "passions" of fascism.

The Q bullshit is a violent fascist movement and we're watching it grow in real time.

There isn't a single narrative. Multiple threads come together in the Quilt. What appears to tie them together is a fear that they have "lost" their country to a nefarious outside force. Sometimes it's Communists. Sometimes it's the Deep State. Sometimes it's a satanic cabal. 3/

I'm currently in the middle of about eight different books and all I want to do is start about that many more.

I need to finish reading some books.

Yesterday's crafting project: finally assembling my #piecepack! I did some serious redesigning this week, and sat down yesterday with my long #themagnusarchives backlog and put it all together.

I plan to release the files and create a version for sale on The Game Crafter soon.



I started a 3D print last night and woke up to find it had warped a little bit on the bottom. Not enough to ruin the print, but enough to be noticeably bothersome.

I rather wish it had been ruined, so I would feel justified in scrapping the whole thing and starting again. But since it's technically usable as-is, the real waste would be discarding a usable print because it doesn't look perfect.

Damn. ๐Ÿ˜”






I want to note, on top of the queerphobia and sexual puritanism here, that these photos are obviously paparazzi bullshit taken from distance with a telephoto lens. This is 100% punishing private behavior among consenting adults purely because someone violated their privacy.

Okay, here we go. This is boring but I guess I'm doing it.

This story of Eric Carle and his publisher "fighting bitterly over the stomachache scene" in The Very Hungry Caterpillar is fake. Eric Carle never said this, the interview is a parody, it was an April Fools joke. 1/?

One example: Anti-homeless architecture isn't just about "cleaning up the streets," or whatever: it's a constant reminder to labor that if you don't keep coming back to work, there is no place, there is no rest, for you here.

If you're not willing to kill the senate filibuster to properly investigate an armed insurrection against the U.S. Capitol and secure the basic right to vote in elections, you are favoring the made-up procedural rules of a democracy over the actual fucking democracy itself.

Democrats control the executive and legislature of history's mightiest empire and have a majority of the public at their back.

They need to do something about this instead of asking for permission to cut the noose around their own necks.

A MAGA-obsessed, AR-15-centric religious sect has bought a sprawling compound in Texas, which it hopes will be a safe haven to "patriots" from what they believe is an imminent "deep state" war. The property was listed at just under $1 million.

NEWS:

A new analysis of 2020 circulating among Dems finds that House Ds spent huge sums on ads touting bipartisanship while the GOP spent massively on tarring Dems as socialists.

The study shows Ds badly need to improve in prosecuting GOP radicalization:

Truly stunning how much the GOP passes unpopular and inhumane legislation while consolidating its frightful base of the super-rich and Nazis, whereas Dems sacrifice popular and necessary legislation on the altar of bipartisanship while alienating its base of the US majority

Let me be crystal clear.
Yes, antisemitism is rising. The overwhelming vast majority of it is coming from the right. This should be understood w/in the worldwide rise of fascism.
Criticism of Israeli crimes by members of Congress is NOT antisemitism.




We're clearly moving toward a new system in which statewide votes in many red and purple states are refashioned into recommendations to the gerrymandered GOP state legislature. Which then chooses the president, senator, secy of state etc etc. Rinse, repeat.
