uspol-, abortion, anti-lgbt+ bigotry 

Roe v. Wade is gone.

Griswold v. Connecticut is probably next. That means US residents lose their right to privacy.

This also has implications for Lawrence v. Texas, which decriminalized sodomy in this Puritanical hellhole.

Therefore my marriage is about to get a lot more illegal and that's utterly horrifying. The government is trying to take away my wife.

Hope this gets you hyped to vote for whatever shitlibs the dems are running this year.

parental ableism, sadness about child's autism, context & thoughts 

There's a Korean webcomic by a mom whose daughter has autism, and I usually love her work and learn from it because she's fiercely outspoken about ableism and knowledgeable about the autistic spectrum.

It gave me pause though when she talked on an Instagram comic about crying at her daughter's baby pictures. Others chimed in saying they were the same--while they all know the effects of early intervention would have been limited, they keep thinking whether there was more they could have done. It's not necessarily rational, as they themselves know.

And I'm like... idk, yes your feelings are valid and worth examining, but that doesn't mean the beliefs they are based on are right. You wouldn't feel that guilt and grief if you didn't think on some level that autism is a tragedy, and if your expectations and wants for your child didn't exclude disability.

If you can't approach the reality of your child with unreserved joy they will sense it (and anyone who denies autistic people respond to emotions will be summarily slapped, I don't make the rules), and it will harm them. Like it's awesome that you speak out against the world's ableism, but examine and educate yourself too or your pain will hurt your child.

@thufie Ever since I was young I knew I wanted to be a truck guy. I'd cry myself to sleep at night looking at lifted Hi-luxes knowing that I would never be able to roll coal going 25 over the speed limit. See, my fate was sealed a long time ago when the midwife at my birth held me up, took one look at me, and said "It's a podcaster!"

under anarchism it will take two, maybe three comrades with strong arms and a ladder to change a log by bolb

shitpost, liberalism, uspol 

How many liberals does it take to change a log by bulb? 10 in a committee to study the effectiveness of the current log by bulb, 51 to get a bill allocating more funds to log by bulbs past the senate, 218 to get the same bill past the house (revised and watered down), one president to sign log by bulb funding into law, and one conservative to fuck it all up two years later, while the previous log by bulb remains in place because liberals never change anything.

@f0x @thufie yeah i put on Mouth Dreams for her and now we're watching jon bois videos

nsfw blasphemy, not lewd, micturiation 

yes it's true that you can't enter the temple because you're not a believer. not me though. I can't go in the temple because immediately after being accepted as a member of the Church and accepting Weird America-Visiting Jesus as my personal savior I peed in the baptismal font. i know, the mormons are so weird about stuff like that. definitely a cult.

cops, punk, uspol 

the band: Cop Killaz

debut album: Literally Every Single Cop Is A Bastard

greatest hit: We Hate The Police

the twitter account: @BurnCopCars1312@twitter.com

the post: if you care about "enforcing laws" more than black lives our music isnt for you

the replies: Wow, I can't believe my favorite band doesn't b*ck the bl*e. I used to be a huge fan but I just can't support their bringing politics into punk. Police have a hard job, you know! Conservatism is the new punk rock.

No highly esteemed meme is commemorated here. You are in danger. The form of the danger is an emination of energy, which carries information... The danger is to the brain and central nervous system. It is potentially lethal in high doses... We considered ourselves to be a powerful civilization, and sending this message was important to us. Do not dig or post in this area.

exposing myself to some radioactive waste this morning

@thufie used to have a guy covering the restaurant i worked at (from 10pm-6am, so this was probably his second job). we only ever needed him to stop a few drunk teenagers from throwing ketchup at each other. nominally he was there to stop us getting robbed, but i don't think we made enough money to be worth stealing from?never got held up while i worked there, though i'm told it was a common occurence - common enough to have a gun in a room with "essential laborers".
