Shoutout To Whoever Stole My Amazon Package Containing Nothing But A Single Pair Of Shoelaces.

shoutout to whoever stole my amazon package containing nothing but a single pair of shoelaces.

Not all grocery stores.

Did not think i'd ever say that, let alone unironically, but i see 2024 has told 2020 to hold its beer.

Remember Publix in the future. They seem to be taking their name seriously and are on the right side of history here.

And remember that bit in The Grapes of Wrath where markets would burn the food they couldn't sell while people starved to death? Not fiction. It's artificial scarcity for the sake of future profits.

To all those still undecided,

If Trump wins the election because of your inaction, it won't just be Palestinian blood on your hands.

It'll be the blood of every disabled person who loses the ability to keep a roof over their head due to government programs being axed.

It'll be the blood of every disaster victim living in a blue state or county that won't receive government assistance because "they didn't vote right."

It'll be the blood of every transgender individual who has their entire existence criminalized.

It'll be the blood of every woman who dies due to pregnancy complications that could have been avoided.

It'll be the blood of every POC who gets murdered by a cop given federal immunity.

It'll be the blood of every person who doesn't look white enough or doesn't have an American-enough name that gets swept up in the mass deportation that Trump wants to do.

It'll be the blood of all those living in countries who look far too closely to the US, which will most likely because a totalitarian regime, on what policies to enact in their own countries.

It'll be the blood of future generations who will have to deal with the fallout of environmental regulations meant to combat climate change being gutted.

But they don't matter, because they're not Palestinian, right?

I'm not like a Little Monster or anything but I will always have some fondness for Lady Gaga for giving the single greatest response to someone asking her to enforce transmisogyny by holding her cisness hostage (by asking if she has a penis a.k.a if she's a tranny) : "Would it be so terrible?" A bisexual woman earnestly putting a mirror up to the cis gay man who thrives in respectability politics interviewing her, showing him the simple kindness that he lacks towards trans women thanks to society's transmisogyny. Why should it be an insult? Why are we treating this question as a threat to a woman's value? Stefani refused to engage, pure and simple, even if it shocked people that she didn't protect herself by upholding transmisogyny and I think that's one of the best things a cis woman can say to truly counter transmisogyny.
