Rupar: it's the Trump inauguration of CPACs

Half empty hall for #NikkiHaley's #CPAC speech

It's not a news organization.

It's the commercial arm of a political movement specializing in strategic resentment and aggregated grievance in its public-facing self, while behind the scenes it tries to be a kingmaker and boss, riding the tiger of manipulated rage.

Read these examples.

The Apostrophe Protection Society, founded to preserve the "much-abused" apostrophe, has shut down. It's founder John Richards's has said that "ignorance and laziness's" has won.

My fav thing about Boba Fett is the way he tells you a piece of information and then snaps his fingers and says, "And that's a Boba FACT."

I'm a 52 year-old cishet Canadian man of Tamil descent. I feel tired every single day. I loathe the MAGA/Brexit nostalgia, the longing for days when things were concretely worse for so many (including me & mine).

But I remember that there are so many — black, indigenous, trans — who tolerate worse indignities (and also larger systemic cruelty & injustice) daily just existing even now.

I pick myself up, breathe deep, & press on. Gotta do the work. For everyone.

Are trans women women?

Boost for Yes.
Favorite for Obviously!
Delete your account for No.

I don’t have an unwanted pregnancy.

I’m not in Ukraine getting hit by Russian shelling.

I’m not facing ethnic cleansing in Tigray.

I don’t have a disability.

I’m not gay.

➡️ But I defend everyone’s rights.

✅ Because that’s what universal human rights are all about.

This scene from #GalwayCity popped up in my memories from one of the other places the other day and I'm still proud of this #Sunny Morning view.

I had a coworker named Aja who is of mixed race and absolutely beautiful and some creepy guy kept trying to get her to tell him her race and she would NOT give him the satisfaction and the conversation went something like this:

Creep: So, where are you from?
Aja: Chicago.
Creep: No, where are your parents from?
Aja: Chicago.
Creep: Okay, well Aja is a really exotic name, where is that from?
Aja: A Steely Dan song.

I’ve got a new song up! The track “Stars of Diamond” gets its name and intro from Carl Sagan. ✨

incase anyone is wondering where i’m at, my office is just behind that hill! 🌈

Trans people have always existed and even sometimes been publicly celebrated, and there's infinitely more cases of trans people being victims of violence and abuse than perpetrators.

But the narrative that trans people are new and dangerous never goes away because it's so useful to authoritarians, who take advantage of the prurient-puritanical mores and ignorance they foment by subverting education and journalism.

Necessity is the mother of invention!
