but you are a pretty princess, you just don’t know it yet 💖

I hate how accurate this is

They probably count people like the Unabomber as left wing.

you deserve it 💖

ok, I see how it is

good thing he’s just a propagandist and not someone with stable political power. With an actual politician like Newsom, the stakes are much higher

Yeah, I’ve thought Hasan was a tankie for a while, but joining the shithead neo feudalists in dogpiling him is a terrible idea. Those fuckers are controlled opposition for the fascist oligarchs, and when it comes to fighting fascists you cannot be picky in your allies.

That’s a bargaining tactic because they know they’ll never get them. They’re asking for more than they’ll realistically get to get as much as they realistically can. They’ll probably demand the US doesn’t bring military vessels through the strait or something similar, limiting their ability to attack in the future.

But they were already willing to reach an agreement on nuclear development before the war started. They were at the negotiating table, and the US showed to them that trying to negotiate for peace was a fool’s errand.

Why Taiwan is fucked

bruh, genuinely where have you been? There is a gestapo loyal to Trump who round up his culture war scapegoats. There are concentration camps that hold immigrants in perpetuity. I could literally get sent to one of those camps for being trans if that gestapo ever carded me, something they could easily do thanks to racial profiling. If that did happen, not only would I be denied my hormones while in captivity, I could be medically tortured by psychoactive drugs in the hope that it causes lasting psychological damage.

I’m sorry, but Trump is already a Hitler like dictator, and you’re ignorant beyond belief if you truly don’t realize that.

This was a warning shot. It’s a promise that if the US escalates the war, Iran will fuck up their gulf allies and impact the supply of fuel permanently. Their strategy of making the US’s war of aggression everyone else’s problem really is the best strategy they could’ve used without a nuclear deterrent. It won’t win them many allies, but it won’t win the US any either.

Sounds like they should just run with the idea and make high rise mausoleums 🤷‍♀️

It’s so silly that people are rushing to defend vaping here. Just admit that inhaling shit into your lungs isn’t good for you and that the rich people profiting off your addiction want to keep up the charade as long as possible. Just admit, like all people who smoke cigarettes do, that it’s bad for you and that you’ll continue doing it.

I drank diet sodas for years, but I avoided defending it even though the evidence was inconclusive. I know the corporate goons want it to be perceived as healthy, so I don’t want to play into their plans regardless of how convenient it is for me. Our addictions aren’t healthy, and we need to own up to that even if we aren’t strong enough to resist them.

I wouldn’t count on the health of those employees being respected either.

So it wouldn’t have been right to kill Hitler even though he took dictatorial control? It can easily be argued that once a democratically elected leader moves to nullify elections, purges non political government positions, and starts to ignore the authority of other elected positions, that their contract as a democratic leader is null and void. We’re already there with Trump on all accounts. Him starting a war without congressional approval should make it obvious that he will take every shred of power the other branches have left given enough time. His position isn’t the only one we vote on, but he will ensure that no other result matters.

Besides, he plans to stay in office until he dies, and if he corrupts the military with enough loyalists by 2028, he’ll succeed. The only mechanism to remove him will be him dying and hoping his replacements are too weak to maintain the grift. I don’t say this as a call to action, but a statement of fact.

but it is my job

What about daydreams? ;3

It’s ok; this image is seriously a cognitohazard for eggs. It’s so brutally efficient at cutting through the internal excuses for not transitioning that it leaves you only with the practical considerations. Not having the social support or money to transition are reasonable concerns. Transitioning isn’t easy, especially if you have to deal with bigotry and medical gatekeepers.

However, transitioning will do more for your mental health than almost anything. It’s not like age will stop you from enjoying the time you have left as the person you want to be. Fascism and transphobia have made my life so depressing recently, but I still don’t regret transitioning in the slightest. Even if I get killed for being trans, it was far better enjoying the few years I had than going the rest of my life as the empty husk I once was.
