They’ve had the past 160 years to fill in some boring ass jobs to do that, the lure of money finally made them do it. My worldview doesn’t entertain the illusion that it truly matters whether you’re black, brown, yellow or white; only if you’ve got enough green to do whatever you want. So I’m going to have to disagree that this is a key piece of information.

The motion says that if approved, private donations would be used for the restoration of the school names and not by “the school system or government tax funds, though the SCPS will oversee disbursements relating to restoration costs,” according to [Thursday’s meeting agenda.]

This is all you need to know. Just need a little lubricant and the racist wheel keeps on turning.

Here’s to your good health mate. Hope you find yourself on the mend and some answers for what ails you. Not knowing can be as bad as the malaise in my experience.

Had an uncle drive himself to near insanity over a change in his body and while eventually the diagnosis came back terminal, the knowledge that he was right and all those who would not support his concerns had to eat their dismissals was a small comfort.

What absolutely gobsmacking value must an unaltered human being possess that tremendous amounts of resources are allocated all over the world to stop people from changing who or what they are?

It’s your body you should be able to choose what to do with it. If in 30 or 40 years we come to find out that it causes irreparable damage and shortened lifespan. It’s earned. If that time until an untimely death is the best life lived then that was well earned too. I’m willing to bet it will be worth it to someone who so desires it. But it should be every individuals choice to do so, and do so freely.

This problem will only continue to compound as medical technology advances. People changing gender identity or their sex is only the tip of the iceberg, given the chance someone out there will try change something about themselves that asks the question of whether or not they are still human. Maybe not in my lifetime but someone born today might have to face such a problem. Based on the lessons we will hand down, well you can plainly see about how that is likely to go down.

We already know who cares so much that people conform to gender norms, are deprived access to reproductive healthcare and autonomy, and also forced to do so in abject poverty. The burning question is why? What ends justify these means?

Seriously, someone make it make sense. What math do I need to learn to be able to understand why you are not able to do as you please with your own life and body? How does anyone else still have a say what is or isn’t in your pants and how is it to their benefit?

It’s an irony then for how much value is placed on genitalia that the rest of the person is only worth at most whatever minimum wage is the standard in your area or occupation.

Hip Hop Hooray Ho, Hey, Ho

I’m definitely coming off as a fatalist and alarmist but I firmly believe there is a path forward that includes all of us. Just the cost will be severe and unexpected, I hope we’re ready. And while my natural inclination is that of least resistance and less pain, I hope it is achievable within our generations. Let us bear the brunt of braving a new world that our children and their children’s children know better lives than we do.

Take it and spread it hopefully further than just the fediverse. Or make your own and pass along the good word

Here’s the post I saw that inspired my own.

If I had a nickel for every time someone unwittingly became the face of something humorous we can all relate to, well I’d at least have a nickel more than what this job presumably paid her.

Good springboards today. Lemmy is starting to feel more alive don’t you think?

In all seriousness thank you for taking the time for a moral obligation. All things should be tempered and while humor is a great tool to distort the truth it should never completely obstruct it.

At the very least, here’s to trying to draw attention to your comment.

Capitalism is mass produced feudalism distilled in just enough high fructose corn syrup to sell the lie to the people that if you work hard enough and pull up your straps all the way, one day you will be the one pulling the strings and not licking boots. The problem isn’t in facing this stark reality, it’s in having enough imagination to see what could lay beyond the comforting pain of what you are used to and the devil you don’t know.

People are not ready for a complete societal overhaul, I am not ready for it either but we’re speeding along to a future where people will know the bitter taste of their neighbor’s flesh in the name of survival. I hope to be spared such knowledge and for other good people to be too but here we are, entire populations around the world are about die of thirst and we’ve let people (because corpos are people as legally defined for the purposes of money in some places and might as well drop the facade in others) bottle and sell it as a commodity and a premium at that.

For those still reading and capable of abstract thought: imagine you were an entity composed of gas and you discovered a species composed of up to 60% water willingly slave away for clean access. Insanity.

Stranger than fiction though, we can all start boiling our tap water to reduce up to 90% of microplastics (phys.org). Seems like the cosmic jokes on us. Good thing I guess that we’re boiling our planet alive, that way the ultra rich doomsday-prepped assholes who have allowed this design to come to fruition will have everything they want after the manufactured cataclysm wipes the rest of us out.

TLDR; I went off on a tinfoiled rant.

If any among you have an interest in documentary style films I highly suggest The Act of Killing.

It is not a pleasant viewing experience, it is however good art and should be experienced anyway.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Most recently he’s been producing his own beats which gives you a closer look into what he’s about as a person. I’ll say this for his last several projects, they’re original

The pictures are sobering. Knowing that you will likely die ugly but proceeding due course is a look that masks can’t hide.

Humanity’s needs have outgrown the way it is governed.

Los víveres que nunca llegaron a Turquía.

Los víveres que nunca llegaron a Turquía Parte 2

Here’s local investigative journalist who placed AirTags in donations meant to go to Turkey earlier this year. Even if local officials had been prepared for this natural disaster the results would be the same. If you read the comments there’s testimonial about a previous disaster that caused flooding where the people of Acapulco had to take care of themselves in the same fashion.

You are simply wrong. No amount of planning would have helped these people.

If a disaster occurred during tourist season aid would pour in, of course no one cares about the actual residents in the absence of wealthy foreigners

Corporatocracy, the new monarchy. That’s what we live in, everything else is just a facade

The worst part is how prevalent this is across every industry imaginable. Anything remotely advantageous to humanity is and will continue to be second to profit.

Not just women but anyone who has suffered any sort of abuse can act very similarly and for the same reasons. On such a large scale it would seem to implicate that would be the case. I offer a different opinion.

Hierarchy.

People like the things they see themselves in others. If, as we are starting to learn about this group of supporters is that it’s all projection. This person is literally telegraphing who they are and what they feel about things, these supporters are eating it up because that’s who they are as well. What could be ascribed to the reaction of the abused I would counter it is because that’s who these supporters simply are are.

These people will line up behind a meat grinder so long as they get a turn at the crank and everyone else be fed in.
