for those who have been paying attention and not treating anti-racism like a fad that can be disposed of when it's not cool anymore, it's always Black History Month.

@TechConnectify Democrats just voted to continue funding DHS. Democrats have demonatrated they don't care about Palestinians and nor do they care about you.

REMINDER: a coup means forcefully removing a head of state. it doesn't mean something else, it doesn't mean whatever you feel like. if the head of state is elected, there is no coup. that is not a coup. a coup is forceful removal of a head of state, like what happened to Maduro.

not liking your head of state, no matter how completely valid that dislike is, does not amount to a coup.

nation states are inherently fascist. there is no coup, there is no takeover. tell me you're painfully white without saying you are painfully white.

words have meaning, and it's not whatever you feel like. pay some fucking attention.

Today I heard the 2nd of this year's Canadian Massey lectures, on the threats to human rights.

On the same day that Alberta suspended Canada's Charter of Human Rights in order to attack transgender people. They know that their vicious attack contravenes the Charter, which is why they suspended it even before the Supreme Courts hears a case.

We are all in danger here. We have to stop our governments from making this the norm.

The UK is considering withdrawing from the European Convention on human rights. Soon, none of us will be safe.

It's all in the name of taking rights away from others, but we are all "others" to someone if we do not unite in solidarity and stop this.

@EricLawton

i don't think we were ever safe and that was always the looming threat of the notwithstanding clause. it's why i have so much contempt for Pierre Trudeau. he was a fascist piece of shit and so is everyone who was in his government.

i've feared this could happen from the day i learned about the notwithstanding clause. if Quebec can do what it has been doing all along in regard to language and religion, guess what any other ruling class fuckheads can do.

WARNING: Long post and NO point, but a very real example of what it's like to try to have a conversation with me...

To start, I have autism and ADHD (AuDHD) and I just had a conversation with a stranger that's a pretty typical conversation I have where I start talking about something I care a LOT about but then get ten words in and uncontrollably switch to a different topic and keep repeating that pattern until the other person manages to escape.

Here's a near transcription of my last conversation that started earlier this evening at a show for a band I like called The Beths where I was wearing a t-shirt for an adjacent band called ALVVAYS and saw another person wearing a different ALVVAYS shirt:

Me: I like your ALVVAYS shirt! Did you see The Beths open for ALVVAYS the last time they were in California?

Them: Yeah! I saw both at The Greek in Berkeley!

Me: Cool! I saw them both in Oakland!

Them: Neat! I went for ALVVAYS and The Beths opened and I really liked them!

Me: Me too! I've been listening to ALVVAYS for years, but didn't know about The Beths until they opened and I really liked them which is why I’m here now!

(This is where AuDHD Alice kicks in)

Me (continuing): I was JUST thinking about the chain of events that lead to me being here, so it was that ALVVAYS show where The Beths opened and I wouldn't have even known about ALVVAYS if my coworker hadn't introduced me to them about ten years ago.

The reason my coworker mentioned them is because I was wearing a Jawbreaker shirt so he realized we liked similar music and thought I might like ALVVAYS and he was totally right!

The reason I was wearing a Jawbreaker shirt is because we worked for a scrappy startup in the Bay Area where nobody cared about anything and you could wear whatever you wanted as long as you got your job done.

I got that job because I used to work for Yelp because my former Yelp coworker started working for that startup and referred me.

I got the job at Yelp because my mom had stage 4 cancer and was DYING so I moved from Chicago to Phoenix to take care of her and Yelp had a location in Arizona so I interviewed and I got that job.

I'm pretty sure I got the job because my resume used Avenir as the font and the hiring manager liked it.

We also talked about The Neverending Story which is one of my favorite movies and apparently one of his, so we bonded because I mentioned job interviews making me feel like Atreyu trying to run through those laser shooting sculptures and he said he totally got it and somehow I still got the job.

That job eventually lead me to the startup which brought me to the coworker who introduced me to ALVVAYS which introduced me to The Beths and that's why I’m here now.

How did you find out about The Beths?

Them: Oh. Uh. Just that ALVVAYS show where The Beths opened, as I previously mentioned.

Me: Oh okay good talk have a nice night.

maybe this poem will help.

it's by Anonymous, and was published in George Millburn's "The Hobo's Hornbook", c.1930

The Two Bums

The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined

And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that's bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night

The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal

As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear

Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush

To all the people with niche, esoteric, or anachronistic hobbies that seem to serve no purpose: don't worry, after AI gives everyone brainrot, actually knowing how to do anything in physical reality will probably lead you to becoming the town wizard, at which point everyone will just have to tolerate you wearing a funny hat all the time and speaking in riddles.
