“There's nothing that pisses the system off more than our hedonism,” Helen told me on a rainy evening. We who transgress the heteropatriarchal norm (dykes, queers, trans, whores, feminists...) are summoned to pay the toll of unhappiness. We can exist on the margins, provided we are truly unhappy. People always prefer to present us as victims: we shouldn't serve as an example.”
Me in 2005: Huh, this software tracks my location, logs my information, and reports back to a remote server I don’t know about? This is malware, I better remove it from the family computer!

Walking down hallways of corpo manufactured obfuscation, neon buildings of ice scrape the sky as I crack another pill in my teeth. Thinking maybe I should shoot this south african bastard deck and seek the Fish.
@avesbury_rosetta well it depends on where you live. If you live in a large city, go to music shops and look at what they have. Ask people who seem like they aren't busy, what they recommend. Go to local shows, you should wear a mask but im not your mom.
if you dont live in a large city, There are chatrooms on irc and discord. A forum for the specific genre your into is good too. wikipedia often has alot of bands listed by genre. Bandcamp is another place to look around.

🧔🏼♂️I can't believe Trump is going to revoke the legal status of people fleeing conflict in Ukraine! That's so evil! We should fight for refugees from Ukraine!
👩🏾Yes! And Haiti!
🧔🏼♂️Huh?
👩🏾And Haiti! They already did this to Haitian refugees!
🧔🏼♂️Uh sure! Whatever! I mean of course! Haiti too! But Ukraine!
For March 8—International Women's Day—here is our draft program to resist patriarchy and transphobia.
https://crimethinc.com/GenderPoster2023
First, abolish gender segregation. Ensure that people of all genders have access to the same opportunities, resources, social ties, and forms of agency.
Second, abolish fixed gender roles. Break free of the fixed roles and binaries that tie certain traits to certain genders. Demonstrate new constellations of the qualities and capabilities that are currently associated with one gender or another.
Third, abolish gender hierarchies. End practices that privilege one gender over another. Do away with institutions and attitudes that value some qualities and capabilities over others on account of the gender that they are associated with. If a person of any gender has to outdo all other contenders in demonstrating traditionally masculine characteristics in order to get a foothold in politics, gender oppression remains in effect even if not everyone in a position of power is a man.
Finally, abolish gender gatekeeping. Do away with the boundaries that control who can identify with any gender. Defending trans identity, gender nonconformity, and other departures from fixed binary gender is a step towards this goal.
Against patriarchy—for the free flourishing of all!

Most of my students know that the US did not enter WWII until after Pearl Harbor (12/7/1941).
A few know about America First and the embrace of isolationism in the late-1930s.
Almost none believe me when I tell them that 90+ PERCENT of Americans opposed US entry into WWII in May 1940, when the Nazi Blitzkrieg was tearing through Western Europe.
They struggle to accept what's happening in the US today b/c they can't shake the myth of American exceptionalism and eternal valor.
@romi @critakitty yeah i mean, with how racist that part of america is. They wouldnt care even if they did understand.
