In most ways, I’m a mature & well adjusted adult, but sometimes I’m still 12. Life is more fun that way. Mr. Hanky looks great on the 🎄
Another good day for Tesla stock. Markets did not like Elon saying he wasn’t going to abide by his ‘should I resign’ Twitter poll. 🤣🤣🤣
As always, when right wing authoritarians do not get their way, or things do not go the way they had planned them to go - they'll try and change the rules of the game they started.

We've seen this happen too many times.

Read history.

Be vigilant.

We don't have the luxury of pretending this is the ancient past, anymore.

This is one of the most poisonous aspects of class reductionist leftism.

When someone says we don't need to talk about or address non-class issues of marginalization "for unity," what they're really doing is laying groundwork for co-option by fash.

2. Nobody wins here. More deaths on one side of the Pacific doesn't mean fewer deaths on the other.
3. The list of countries that rolled out the perfect policy for every twist of this unprecedented epidemic is zero.
4. The US has had and continues to have plenty of deaths due to poor policy.
5. Our family is dying. For some of us, our literal family.

Show some fucking respect. Show some humanity.
