Poems in true chronological order by post date
-> file: fediverse/3445 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── I kinda wonder what emojis people use to respond to my posts but, like, stars are cool too. kinda insulates me from hatred tbh. if they wanted to react with an emoji, they should reply with one! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3446 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── if I had an alternate mirror version of me that was almost exactly the same except one of us liked almond butter instead of peanut butter... I think we could probably manage two universes better than one. it'd be nice to have someone who liked every single game that I did. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/496 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── I'm not genuine, I'm original. There's a difference. EDIT: I think I'm genuine too ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3447 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────┐ │ CW: capitalism-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────┘ low key kinda pissed that all my ideas for starting a business require funding, because funding tends to be controlled by the "business major" types, and all of my ideas tend to involve wresting power from the MBAs and capitalists, which means they're unlikely to invest in me or utilize my ideas. unless of course it's crowd-funded, which makes me feel bad because it's taking money from the people I'm trying to empower. thus, power accretes in the hands of the wealthy, as the poor are too sick with capital-deficiency to develop ventures that would heal them, and the rich would not be rich if they did so themselves. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3448 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: ACAB again │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-883 what if we took all the "good cops" and made them into a militia that protected us from the far right oh, we did, and that was basically the revolutionary war. If you consider monarchy to be "far right" which I kinda do? that was hundreds of years ago, though. Plenty of time for it since to twist into the police-industrial-complex or whatever. don't get me started on the rampant security theatre... people will do anything to feel safe, even sacrifice a bit of freedom for it. something tells me perhaps they deserve neither. -- my understanding of the police force in america is that it's like, 15% racist misogynistic assholes who pull people over for stupid reasons and try to start shit, and 75% people who just want to do a good job and support their community. problem is, if their community is racist assholes then they tend to align as such. the remaining 10% are idealists who have the power to sway their comrades in a way that the 15% racist assholes don't. I speak to them. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3449 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── Hey. Are you bored on this lovely Saturday afternoon? Why not go and tidy up your cable management? I know it's a rats nest but it's gotta get better somehow. ritz, it's Monday. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3450 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ CW: us-politics-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────┘ the fascist's plan requires them to lose. Their whole business model is to dupe a succession of rubes and get rich in the process. Trump being elected the first time was a surprise, which is why they couldn't manage to get much done. The infrastructure needed to legitimize fascism was resisted at every turn by the lawyers and government workers who were in place. however, due to a recent supreme court ruling, they no longer need to worry about people resisting their rule through the powers granted to them by their stations. All they have to do is ask if they're loyal, and if not, they can be replaced. In 2016 they just wanted to get rich. Recently they had a shot, thank god that Biden is a savvy politician and knew how to tank their attention and focus their attacks on weaknesses that Kamala did not possess, like his age and mental lucidity. They are going to lose, they know it, and they're going to be pissed, so... be ready for that. on the bright side, they will lose each time ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ |
