Yeah. Nobody is sorry enough unless they change their behavior. America’s apologies aren’t even substantial enough to wipe one’s own ass with until and unless we ACT to PUNISH THE FASCISTS. CORPORALLY. CAPITALLY. PERMANENTLY.

And I’ve been hearing chuds delusionally expecting zelenskyy to be “impeached” e_e they seriously live in their own little world

i’m from western MA so they don’t have to worry about me talking about Pahkin da Cah at Hahvahd Yahd :p

i dunno about you but i’d love it if new england became a canadian province, can we just like literally do the exact opposite of what the mandarin chief wants and let canada absorb some of the US? please? Fucking PRETTY PLEASE???

I imagine the conservatives in the US will be very pleased to see stories like this one.

In fact, some of them have told me exactly what they wanted to see happen years ago, and described this exact scenario.

Personally I had many other reasons to oppose the new administration and voted against it for those reasons; I didn’t really have a stake in this particular area of policy. I’m not pleased with anything the trump administration is doing, including this.

People give up trying to migrate to the US and instead staying in the countries they’re from makes me wonder what knock-on effects it will have in those countries though. Will mortality rates increase? Will there be increased strife now that people have to fight in light of flight no longer being an option? They can no longer choose to peacefully remove themselves from the conflict.

As a resident of the united states, I have considered the option of evacuating this place but have come to accept that it is not going to be an option for me. So I find myself wondering if I myself shall also be forced into violent conflict when/if I might have to defend my household from brownshirts, fully cognizant of the fact that I am outnumbered and outgunned and almost definitely not going to succeed in protecting my home without being overwhelmed and slain where I stand, nor taking nearly enough of them with me to make a difference in the long run.

They don’t want to contend with violent gangs the local authorities are either unable or unwilling to stop? Well, I’m about to be in that situation too. Wish me luck.

… how do you get a whole ass damn culture that can’t just fucking LEAVE WOMEN ALONE

It’s like the Taliban are the embodiment of every incel’s worst impulses

I can’t believe these fucking losers haven’t been strung up and gutted by their own neighbors at this point

Yes! I am NEVER LATE because I put a HARD STOP ON DOING ANYTHING for the ENTIRE DAY leading up to The Important Thing x_x

(For those without ADHD who don’t know: *this is literally the only way we can keep appointments sometimes)

Ah yes. Waiting and being expected to REMEMBER to follow up independently. The one thing ADHD brains are good at!

/S

we’re almost a fraction as good at it as slugs and snails are at tolerating salt -_-

Hey you know what counts as both resting and productive in furtherance of your life goals?

Meditation.

Several times in the past few weeks, I’ve caught myself in a quandary wondering what I can do, but then realized, “oh. I can meditate.”

look. you have a lot on your mind. Letting that shit process is good for you. And you process it by sitting comfortably and letting your thoughts wander while you mindfully sit back and commit to

a b s o l u t e l y   n o t

acting upon ANY of them right now.

This is their chance to stretch their proverbial legs and get some fresh air. You’ve taken them to the park. This isn’t anywhere but a park. This period of time is not for engaging tasks or running errands or indulging vices.

Focus on the quiet things. The sound and feeling of the air moving through the room, entering and leaving your lungs. Or just … your own heartbeat if you can actually feel it. Or just counting without a goal in mind. If you lose track, it’s ok. Losing track is actually the point.

Listen, fam, you were going to waste the time anyway. Committing to this is the opposite of wasting it because you made a choice. At least until something you definitely do want to do pops up. As long as you ‘can’t decide’, default to this.

What will eventually happen is your thoughts will come and go and you might notice that you don’t create them. Your brain is just generating noise and attempting to extrapolate it arbitrarily into various forms. Those forms are driven by your experiences, especially the more recent and/or intense ones. But you didn’t CHOOSE to ‘have thoughts’. The thoughts show up all by themselves. What YOU choose, as the observer process, is whether to entertain those thoughts.

This is how you access your brain’s proverbial ‘dev console’, and how you tweak the ‘settings’: your attention reinforces neural patterns. If you can mindfully select which patterns you wish to reinforce and which ones you will neglect and allow to atrophy, you also tune which kinds of concepts are more likely to show up more often.

everybody should really do this more often. it has helped me get a grip in some very wild times.

perhaps the only ethical consumption under capitalism is that which denies capitalists their profit.

‘dig’ is, after all, literally in your name :3

preface: i acknowledge that you are correct. However, I still want to meme. So,

cool motive

still sending their troops into a nation that is fighting for independence from a complete whole-ass other nation’s foreign occupation

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

look it’s just got a really nice-feeling sliding latch mechanism…

it’s crazy watching north korea attempting to do for russia in ukraine what america attempted to do for france in vietnam.

just utterly myopic.
