Is there gay in invisible parts of the spectrum?

Can I be cosmic gay?

Difficult, but my point was that if we're going to respond with violence, guns will be not very effective. But there are other ways that will be.

ETA C4 is actually stable enough to be safely stowed, and is very hard to accidentally detonate. Typically we civilians have to resort to dynamite or homemade explosive compounds which deteriorate and are less reliable, either discharging when they shouldn't or failing to when they should.

That is a fair assessment, and in a world where life is expected to be stable and tolerable, it is stongly tempting to keep your head down.

China may be that kind of stable, though from what I hear, they disappear people for benign offenses, and people have to manage their social rating. Not easy to do when you're, say, gay, or neurodivergent, or Uyghur. I can't help but wonder if the acceptable norm is shrinking, and the list of undesirables is growing.

Here in the states, it already is growing. And unless you're doing sexual favors for a billionaire or are indispensable to a billionaire, you're on the purge list, just further down than homeless folk and Latins.

Granted you might rather just be summarily executed than tortured. I personally am terrified by the marks on the interior walls of the Auschwitz death camp genocide chambers where the victims were clawing as they died. In the current path of least resistance, I'll be making those marks one day, or rather will perish from malnutrition in CECOT.

If I have to go out suffering, I'd rather I made a difference. If I lie low, I might as well commit suicide, which I've actually considered except that would cause harm to others connected to me.

It'll also suck for them when ICE comes for me and my neighbors are silent.

Social Security Disability.

One of the things Musk is trying to kill because I am allegedly useless.

Musk is about to learn there are practical reasons to assure the wellbeing of non-workers, including NEETs.

We often sre useful, just in ways not recognized by pure transactionalists and capitalists. And those uses can and do turn renegade.

Trump and Musk have turned into Disney villains and deserve Disney villain deaths. For Musk, I have chosen to hope for eaten by hyenas (preferably ones he recently betrayed)

Though a proper Julius Caesar demise would be amazing for Trump. He's more of a Nero than a Julius.

We're still holding onto the belief that it might go back to normal, while in actually our lives as they once were are forfeit, and no one gets out of this without a fuckton of trauma.

Albert Camus, who was in the French Résistance before becoming an author and philosopher, was serious about confronting death and considering actual suicide, and had to invent a whole 20th century post-enlightenment philosophy to survive.

Our lives from now on are defined by the ongoing attack on society, and yhe sooner we push back and hard, the less will have to be repaired for Alphas and later dimensions.

Remember our oligarch masters have invested over a trillion dollars into a multimedia empire to fuck their brains in the first place using what is nothing less than mind control or brainwashing techniques.

In the old days, we regulated services that took advantage of common human bias (such as gambling). But in this era, even gambling is AOK in all fifty states (so long as it's sports apps or lootboxes)

That 20-Minutes-Into-The-Future cyberpunk dystopia that scared Orwell and Stephenson and Gibson is here. (—1138)

The US is still supposed to regulate inciting speech, but not when it's backed by a closet full of blue-haired lawyers.

I go by susbribed top last 24 hours, which gives me a decent scroll experience.

Drawing a weapon would have only gotten them perforated. No this warrants a few pounds of C4 and the willingness to die to set an example.

Most people aren't willing to make such a commitment, even though all our lives are forfeit at this point.

The government said that Berrios’ apprehension was driven in part because she is an associate of the violent gang MS-13, which has Salvadoran roots.

According to the current regime and their brownshirts, everyone with either Latin family or with a Latin name is associated with a violent gang, and they don't bother to demonstrate it in court.

This is exactly the hell we've been trying to prevent for fifty years, and failed.

Im ASD and diagnosed with major depression and on SSD.

That means I'm high up on the purge list anyway.

We're all on that list. Even those of you who keep their head down. That's the point of the Niemöller poem, especially since Trump's shadowy masters are not trying to become dictator for life rather to bleed the federal general fund for a while before skedaddling to Switzerland or Liechtenstein.

You can't lie low on this one as if it's a protracted storm. At least I can't.

Does a TOS on a suicide prevention line feel a bit coercive to anyone else?

An early meme that did not pass muster when I showed it to family, but it makes me giggle.

I may just be an esoteric nerd.

 

Art by Erik Carnell one of the LGBT+ artists who was featured in Target during Pride and then removed thanks to white Christian nationalist pressure.

So here we are, and yeah, we need you all.

 

A semicolon after "youth" will help keep it clear.
