I’d say my post-administrator mental breakdown/posting about the turning number of a circle while hysterically manic is pretty deep on the iceberg.
Mood stabilizers got me down bad now though. 🥵

Oh boy do I fucking hate privatized toilet paper. Just fucking nationalize it already. We as a society have grown past the need to spend millions upon millions on advertisements to get you to wipe your ass with Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, Charmin, whatever. We don’t fucking NEED the Charmin Bears to tell us to wipe our asses, we will do that regardless. We don’t NEED to have toilet paper producers competing to sell us shit wiping paper. Just redirect the egregious advertising budgets and executive salaries to distribution logistics and ensure we all can wipe our fucking asses. Cacapeepeetalism.
Thank god I didn’t have to watch a three-hour breadtube video titled ‘Twin Peaks: the apotheosis of a cartoon gender archetype’ to find out this important information.
Growing up truly is realizing that all the adults in my life have been just as huge dipshits as me currently as an adult.
Damn, this is also kinda hot. 🥵
I’ve long retired. What you do with your pronouns tags is your business. 🤷♀️
Good thing that’s not my job anymore because you’re absolutely right.
Both are based as fuck. You’ll tear through this and be off to another banger in no time.
reading is based and good
You better be reading this book. So help me god.
Wow, this is a beautiful summary of the book!
On not being a doomer, having solidarity, working together and motivating me out of the slump I’ve been in lately:
pg. 143
The people who make a difference in history are those who fight for freedom – not because they’re guaranteed to succeed – but because it’s the right thing to do.
pg. 141
The truth is, you and I are the stuff that great leaders are made of. We don’t have to wait for a distinguished white man on a horse or a politician wealthy enough to win office in a multimillion dollar campaign to usher in justice and equality. The ranks of rebellions and revolutions that have shaped human history have been made up of people like you and me. That history lesson has been purposefully kept from us.
pg. 136
To safeguard what we’ve won and to move forward requires securing, solidifying, and making more permanent alliances with other who are hurt by the same system. Consciousness plays an important role in cementing this coalition. Shared consciousness becomes a material force because what you’re fighting for and what you are determined to win together has a big impact on how your foes react to you.
pg. 121
The essential glue of teamwork is recognition of the value each individual brings to the group.
(pg. 146)
I’ve never wanted to change myself to conform to bigots. My goal is to change the society so that there isn’t oppression. I’ve seen the difference the progressive movement can make in people’s lives and how working collectively forges what might appear to be unlikely alliances. The struggle against racism, sexism, and queer-phobia is the best place to be. Human potential is vast and to tap into it we have to struggle. -Deirdre Sinnott
You heard it here, approved by Leslie. We can’t have change without struggle sessions. 😩
I’m gonna count this as another failed attempt - even if their plans were preemptively foiled before they could try 🤪
