I've been thinking quite a bit about the bizarre evolution of cottage core into trad wife. Leading up to covid I watched it slowly morph among acquaintances, mainly cis het femmes. They went from leftists to farm marms, as did a lot of the cis het arts community I once surrounded myself with. Covid turned up the heat and even more of them went full anti-vax. It's like they got to a point where they were going to have to face our reality and immediately stuffed their heads in the sand by trying to back tread historically on everything, as if that would somehow negate the reality facing us. It's fucking spooky how people can evaporate on themselves like that.

(I also removed plausible.io analytics from my site...woohoo! So the only invasive code left at this point is the Google fonts, which I will fix at some point too.)

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism

Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

Just wanted to let everyone know that people in my neck of the woods (NH) showed up in some pretty great numbers for our #50501 #protest today. People and passers-by were incredibly enthusiastic. There was so much great energy. The signage was epic.

It was a truly grassroots effort with no major organizations behind it. Just a lot of people who needed to get together and say some things.

The prevailing attitude was that this would be the first protest of many.

I hope the few of you who are following me will consider reposting this link to a New York Times article in today's paper. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/nyregion/nassau-county-blakeman-armed-force-suit.html
The Nassau County NY County Exec, close partner of Trump, has, without legislative authority, created an armed militia consisting primarily of former military and police personnel, to back up the police in cases where riots get out of hand. And you know who will be the rioters: It will be us trying to prevent the takeover of our country. #fascism

Here are some more media sources with high objectivity scores: That's Nonsense (fact checker), Science Debate, Reuters, Stars & Stripes (going forward?), Pew Research, Open To Debate, Homeland Security News Wire, Foreign Affairs, Federal Times, Des Moines Register, Council on Foreign Relations, Cook Political Report, Center For Responsive Politics, Christian Science Monitor #newsmedia #trustedsources #mediabias #mediabiasdebate
People on the right are not interested in media objectivity. More people on the left are interested. So MEDIABIASFACTCHECK.com is a precious resource. They rate hundreds of media on accuracy and slant You can use it to search for the most objective sources then put them in your feeds. People criticize NYTimes but now Wash Post LA Times Chicago Trib are all purchased by nasty people. Associated Press is also a gem relative to other sources #mediabias #mediabiasdebate
