When I had a housewarming party, I put a bunch of googly eyes in a bowl and instructed everyone to become googly eye terrorists in my new house.

It was really fun, and a great surprise to find all my eggs googly-eyed with pieces of paper with pleas for help written on them.

Still finding them to this day.

I’m 90% sure that’s an asbestos ceiling.

This cat is protecting us from more than you know

Almost like it’s propaganda.

Having been homeless for a hot second, I did have a life I valued to lose.

If you’re wanting a good faith explanation:

The folks who own guns are almost all conservative and live in red states where there is positive sentiment towards ice. The people who are protesting are all left wing and very likely don’t own a gun, and bringing a gun to a protest is easily how you make what could be a day of bruises and cuts into a day of bloodshed. I’ve been to several protests, and the big message is “don’t give them any reason to mow down the crowd”.

Let’s also consider why we don’t organize like they do in Paris. You get arrested? Fired from your job. You get fired from your job? There goes your healthcare. There goes your housing. Our resistance is slow, not because we aren’t passionate or are too complacent and dumb, it’s because the sad fact that sick, starving, and homeless people make for poor resistance, and I doubt anyone wants that fate.

The system we have is against us in ways far more sophisticated than what you deal with in other countries. We are surveilled by are government, controlled by our cops, and sold by our corporations. But we aren’t dumb. We aren’t weak. We see the hellfire and somehow still go out to do what we can, it’s just we are up against the most powerful domestic military force in the world.

Anyway, I gotta go teach children who didn’t ask for any of this. I don’t know how to keep it together, but somehow they do. If you’re in Chicago, I’ll see you in the streets. ✊

I’m in this photo and I don’t like it :(

Frankly that party needs to go. We’d be better off if there was another dramatic party shift- send the Dems to the way of the Whigs.

I was wondering if someone was going to point this out. So many memes either overtly or discretely have a “dumb woman doesn’t know computer”. I don’t wanna seem nitpicky but it’s hard not to see it.

Look, Noam isn’t wearing his glasses, he might think he’s talking to Anthony Bourdain

Oh absolutely. I’m a full time musician and the only way I’ve been able to do that is play 23 different instruments. Being good enough to play in a group is all you need- you get good really quick when money is on the line.

The time was yesterday last year last decade but I guess we can do it now of everyone is up for it.

You’re worse than Ted Bundy.

I mean you can tell if it’s ripe or not by pressing against the part where the stem used to be- if there’s a little give, you should be good.

I feel like people who hate Honeydew are like people who hate bananas but only have eaten fully green bananas. Like yea, if you don’t let it ripen it’s gonna suck.

Look, I think having people pissing and shitting in a room designated for rest is anti-homeless architecture so sue me

I’m sorry, it’s a RESTroom not a PEEroom. I came here to rest and God damnit I’ll exercise that right. /S

Yea, I could have done a much better job at the execution of this meme, but that’s posting memes for ya.

Sometimes you bite the bar, sometimes the bar bites you. But at least I posted to Lemmy to keep the community alive.

Exactly- California has to negotiate with every landowner, government agency, business, etc. to build a railroad. China doesn’t have to deal with that. If they want to tear down a building, they just do it without caring much about the person they are taking it from. Authoritarianism is really good at doing big things really fast.

No no, didn’t you hear? His relationship with Epstein was purely business. That’s why there are Trump branded condoms in the photo dump, it was purely a business thing.

Awwww man you’re 2 weeks too late 😥

That poor cat is gonna have to hitchhike so far just to get to your front door now!
