The opposite of woke is willful ignorance. Gen X, mostly TTRPGs and politics. BLM. Sex work is work. TERFs are trash. Fetuses aren’t people. Fascism is bad, actually. Leguminati. He/him.
“Hi, welcome to Hell, this is the Hellp Desk, how can I…wait. Aren’t you Lindsey Graham?” (Shout out to Jaysea Williams and Hell’s Belles.)
If the NYC school system ran like Amazon, there would be literally no measure of success except standardized test scores, and no one present in the fall—whether teachers or students—would still be present at the end of the school year.
He could have gone to some great parties, but Jeffrey Epstein kept blowing him off.
Here are waters clean enough to drink from, and they want to pollute them with heavy metal mining.
Trump called Iran’s 10-point plan a working basis from which to negotiate. If that’s true, this is a staggering defeat of the USA. But I wonder: does the fact that Trump will definitely ignore the plan make it less of a defeat, or more?
you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using with no explanation.
Wright: “The US is clearly not the Great Satan.” Meanwhile, the US: [turns Tehran into actual hell]
A cornerstone of white culture is performative civility. Negative peace over positive justice. I can think of no better example than looking into the Epstein files, seeing stuff that’d turn your hair white, and deciding nope, we’re just not gonna do this.
And so we were told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Yes yes, how dare they have a problem with the US overthrowing their government and installing a puppet?
I didn’t watch whatever event this is, but these two moments are distressing when taken together:
If you’re unclear, this is what “I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew” looks like in practice.
I don't think I've seen a better illustration that the Republican party is coded masculine, and the Democratic party is coded feminine. Ascot Rose calls out Hillary and Kamala specifically, but that doesn't matter. Look at the word choices. If the Dems speak up, they're "shrill and bitchy." Yikes.
Here’s the thing: Before we can overcome the massive divisions in the USA, conservatives have to unlearn the idea that they should mistrust anything Democrats say, and Christians have to unlearn the idea that voting for anyone but Republicans is sinful.
