  • Teen Vogue really on some shit lately.

    Between them and Rolling Stone the last few years…

    “Well guys, looks like the grey lady is doing a 1935 again, so Jackson, I’m gonna need you to pivot from writing relationship quizzes to the child labor beat. Ada, Frank, can you handle best makeup tutorials and genocide? Allison, I know you’re on concert reviews, how would you feel about also picking up the investigation on coal coke emissions?”

    Fucking good on them, I’m sure that there have always been people doing good work at these publications, but it seems like they’ve had to really expand their purview recently to cover these giant gaps.


  • I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

    Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

    The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.





  • You know… The last time there was a guilded age happening, the United States got an uprising of workers that resulted in massive labor reform. And at least one king was… Un… Kinged.

    There can be hope. In the meantime, grow vegetables, help strengthen your community, and spread the knowledge that there are better ways to live.

    Capitalism!

    I’m so glad that I don’t live in a socialist country. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to get the medication I need to be a contributing member of society, because of the mismanagement of a greedy few I’m sure.

    I’m proud to ration my medication, because it means that I’m doing my part to buy a third boat worth more than my entire house for a legacy c student from Yale!
