…i have absolutely no problem repeating myself for people who make a sincere effort at listening, which every one of my hearing-impaired friends do, including myself…people who interrupt with a ‘huh?’ mid-sentence, without even a moment to parse what they’ve heard, i reciprocate with exactly the same effort they commit to the conversation…

…social mooches are a boorish burden upon everyone around them…

…if someone asks me to repeat myself immediately, without pause, i presume they’re too f*cking lazy to parse phonemes nor to respect communication as mutual effort, and move on to a better use of my time…

…the sinister secret of saltmarsh has always struck me as essentially an episode of scooby-doo…

…hey, you do you: the only thing i noticed by my late thirties was that working all-nighters hit me a little harder than it used to…

…fourties are when the little injuries start; nothing debilitating, just minor tweaks from time to time which surprise that your resilience isn’t quite what it was twenty years ago…

…fifties are when they sneak up to get their revenge…

…israel’s long-term strategic campaign of zionist lobbying and mossad kompromat are why USA political support remains unwavering…if the epstein records are ever fully released, israel stands to lose mighty leverage across the political spectrum in so many governments…

…people not voting is a failure of coalition-building, full-stop…

…meanwhile, a successful coalition is now calling the shots instead; that’s american democracy in action, like it or not…

…how’s that working out for australia?..legitmate question; last i heard they were nearly as fascist as we are stateside…

…if the primaries represent a legitimate coalition, sure; if not, f*ck 'em: they can go down with the ship, too…

…yeah, f*ck off, plutocrat…

…i used to travel on a whim when i was young, single, and frugal; haven’t enjoyed that liberty since marrying and buying a car + house…

…you need time off work to travel; that’s a luxury few working-class americans can afford even to visit the next state, let alone the indulgence to travel internationally…

…when i was growing up, my well-meaning parents pulled me aside to express their concern over a jewish friend dating a black friend; aghast at their comment, i immediately confronted them over its apparent racism, and they replied that they had nothing against it personally, but were instead concerned about what other people might think…

…they’re f*cking balls-out fascists fourty years later, and i want no part of them in my life…

…to anyone tempted to compromise their own best interests on behalf of what other people might think: don’t give them that kind of power over you, or they’ll drag you down in it…

psyche

…pretty much this: they’re conformant authoritarians and christian nationalism just happens to be the cultural identity in which they were raised…

…i work with mostly first and second-generation immigrants from all over the world, and a common pattern i’ve noticed among established first-generation immigrants is strong anti-immigrant sentiment; a little bit that they emmigrated to get away from those people, a little bit f*ck-you-i-got-mine…

…that was a significant theme in 2061: oddysey three…

…did you read the same text i did?..that was f*cking code-speak for urban black populations…

…gay space communism FTW!..
