The reality is that almost no self sustaining artists can afford each other’s work. Instead artists are forced to charge prices other artists would consider their entire grocery bill. Instead they have to hope they can either get patronage from the wealthy or some sort of corporation.

Are the straights ok?

Liberals are the ones inactive and taking negative action.

They did nothing about trump, they did nothing about healthcare, they did nothing about climate, they did nothing about wages.

They supported Trump’s immigration policies, they funded ICE to extreme levels, they voted to fund surveillance programs, they continue to support the genocide.

It’s not the lesser of two evils it’s the same evil: capitalism and imperialism.

Well that’s just nonsense. Any criticism of the democratic party, a famously spineless and dismissive organization, is a psyop?

A party that has collaborated with the Republicans the whole way? Going so far as to make ICE one of the best funded militaries in the world?

Settling for any centrist with a pulse is how we got Trump.

Y’all need to look at Tom Homann’s history. He’s the guy responsible for Obama’s sky high deportation rate while you heard barely a peep on the news. He did this by moving to night time raids and covert operations.

On a slightly different note NodeBB is very cool and worth checking out. Did those unaware it’s a Goodreads, Letterboxd, Steam Reviews, etc all rolled into one.

Strange stipulation for a fediverse app.

From the article:

Not the feminism aimed at merely—in the words of psychology professor Darby Saxbe—"emulating men and outcompeting them on the terrain they have constructed.” Not the feminism the late bell hooks called “trickle-down theory: the [flawed] assumption that having more women at the top of corporate hierarchies would make the work world better for all women, including women on the bottom.”

No, the feminism that fights for a society where everyone of all genders has more time and energy to care about people outside of work.

Bottom up democratic structures. Remove the unitary executive and make all representatives instantly recallable.

A single endorsement doesn’t change a decade of fighting progressive politics.

Martin only waited till after the primary, because he legit believes a party shouldn’t be biased. But he ran Minnesota for a decade, and under his watch they went from purple to progressive as fuck.

To be correct. Ken Martin hates DSA and socialists. Most of his time in Minnesota was spent purging DSA members from the party. Minnesota went left in spite of him.

It’s funny because that’s actually the original understanding of the term homophobia. It’s why it’s a phobia and not queerism or similar (a la racism).

Absolutely nobody should be taking this site seriously. It’s pretty disappointing that a non honey pot alternative hasn’t popped up yet (with Union support).

And skirts/kilts.

Generational conflict is the other major factor. If the generation above me weren’t so difficult to be around it wouldn’t be so hard to imagine.

So, you’re 24 years old and healthy? Color me shocked.

Lol that’s not at all what I’m saying. I have health problems out the wazoo and doctors in so far as I have been able to afford them have not been any sort of help for anything more complicated than the flu.

Seriously though. I don’t think I’ve actually been helped after having gone to the doctor my entire life (I’m 24 for reference).

Symfonium is pretty good as a one time purchase.
