4 May 2022 : You absolutely should not post videos of activists during actions, those same videos are going to be used against them later. Put your phone away, the likes and retweets aren't worth it.
3 May 2022 : People do understand that everyone in red states aren't a voting bloc right? Cruz won Texas in 2016 by 214,921 votes out of 8371655 votes cast.

29 March 2022 : many "left" tendencies do this with our technical terms. We learn about concepts like "idealism and materialism," "the state," etc and immediately forget that there is a common definition of those words which was not influenced by whichever theorist you happen to be thinking of.
27 March 2022 : I think this Super 8 may actually be the worst motel in El Paso
19 March 2022 : This is so fucking stupid. Putin is a war criminal but why the fuck are we erasing history in response to that? https://twitter.com/incontextmedia/status/1504966755407519745
14 March 2022 : my brain on wearing collared shirts for some reason: Buttoned all the way up: She? he? they? No one knows for certain. Top button unbuttoned: A business man trying to mingle with the lower classes Two+ buttons unbuttoned: A cute girl in a cute shirt
6 February 2022 : Strangers have been yelling slurs at me since middle school.
9 January 2022 : That awkward moment when you see a typo in the bio you wrote for yourself the moment the page gets broadcast 😩 https://twitter.com/SocialistRA/status/1480299965461274631
9 January 2022 : For the low low price of 836,000 deaths! Heck, maybe if we have another pandemic after this one the economy can be even stronger! https://twitter.com/SecFudge/status/1479894984807657481
9 January 2022 : Ah much better, a nice normal nightmare about running from a dragon monster that is somehow also my cat
25 December 2021 : does anyone else have specific bookmarks for specific kinds of books or is it just me?
22 December 2021 : For some reason the only time my anxiety goes away is while I'm in transit.

15 November 2021 : "leftist" as some sort of category has created people with wildly inconsistent politics, like anarchists who facilitate Lenin reading groups in between electoral campaigns for DSA
11 November 2021 : And yes, I'm old enough to remember what the discourse on communist Usenet was like.
11 November 2021 : Say what you will about that argument, it's just wild to me that Stalin has become a hero to some people. I have to wonder if algorithmically recommended content on social media is partially responsible.
11 November 2021 : 20 years ago simping for Stalin was unheard of. Even in communist circles online the regular discourse was "Lenin was good, then Stalin ruined the Soviet Union."
11 November 2021 : The algorithm is like 'oh you enjoyed that medicare for all post? Check out sexy Stalin!'
11 November 2021 : Just had the sudden epiphany that people may be algorithmically pointed toward stalinist propaganda because algorithmic social media puts anarchism, socialism, communism, and stalinism in the same category
9 November 2021 : 😩 I *always* get get lawful good https://twitter.com/theabigailbeck/status/1457938711828582400
31 October 2021 : It's structure is the politics of a movement. The two are inseparable. The smallest part is a fractal of the the whole, and that which it is building.
28 October 2021 : I fail to see how the state owning and controlling the means of production and paying a wage to workers who are not allowed to criticize the state is progressive.
28 October 2021 : Queer as in fuck society
28 October 2021 : Because 'leftist' is not a coherent category, it describes multiple diametrically opposed ideas and attempts to claim they somehow have the same aspirations
27 October 2021 : I really envy people who had a good childhood. "You didn't cry at your dad's funeral what's wrong with you?" Must've been nice to have a dad who wasn't drunk and abusive.
27 October 2021 : Shit my dad was an asshole I wish I could have made a dollar off that shit https://twitter.com/MacMcCannTX/status/1453030106528632836
24 October 2021 : "For us, it is necessary and sufficient that everyone have complete freedom, and nobody can monopolize the means of production and live on someone else's work." - Errico Malatesta 'Individualism and Anarchism'
21 October 2021 : Ah shit the depression is starting to get a big too big for my normal management strategies.
15 October 2021 : If your primary political project is rehabilitating the image of Josef Stalin or whatever what the fuck are even doing?
14 October 2021 : A statement of support and a promise to vote next election does not make an ally. Neither does a yard sign. Find your allies in those organizing, doing support work, propagandizing, and yes, standing shoulder to shoulder with you in the street.
14 October 2021 : Modibo Kadalie says "You find your allies in the street" and while I agree in principle, I think a more nuanced version is that allies are those doing active work for liberation, unlike not passive "supporters."
13 October 2021 : Sometimes the ideas of the 1850s, or the 1910s, 20s, and 30s need to just due out. We carry on with these organizations out of nostalgia for the past, and a weird mythology about a golden era.
13 October 2021 : Great conversations at the reading group tonight. We ended the night discussing how many left organizations are effectively roleplaying their heyday into infinity rather than dying due to nostalgia or looking forward to the future and changing.
9 October 2021 : TL;DR I have friends and they're perfect but I have self esteem issues.
9 October 2021 : Me when I see other trans women: " so beautiful and valid and graceful and just the absolutely perfect representation of womanhood" Me when I look in the mirror: "basically everything JK Rowling had been screaming about are you sure you aren't just some fucking pervert?"
7 October 2021 : last night I cried my eyes out to an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise of all things
7 October 2021 : I was never a particularly masculine man, but I'm also sure I'll never be a particularly feminine woman. Perfectly androgynous as all things should be.
7 October 2021 : Estradiol is so fun I just started crying for no reason
29 September 2021 : Takes like this can't be real, I refuse to believe it. https://twitter.com/maxplanations/status/1442982704518086662
28 September 2021 : I have no answers. The only thing I can change is myself, and I been guilty of all these things just as much as those around me.
20 September 2021 : I find it quite telling that this person didn't include descendants of enslaved people in the list of people allowed to have an opinion about the Civil War. https://twitter.com/russiancosmist/status/1439481459132170246
12 September 2021 : Wait a fucking minute. Everyone at the end of Hedwig returns to their assigned at birth gender?
12 September 2021 : Lotta people in left gun circles spend so much time on learning to shoot but when the shit gets weird they'll have no idea how to link up with friends and no skills to sustain a community even if they did.
20 August 2021 : Them: "I hope we can see each other this weekend!" Me: https://youtu.be/wYpbzoUQ468
2 August 2021 : I think I spend too much time online. I just told my bank that some "did a fraud" when referring to someone stealing a check out of the mail and forging a new name, signature, etc on it.
22 July 2021 : So out in public and provide for your community. Almost every municipality has case law that will back you up. The cops may try to pull some shit but it will never hold up in court. Get in touch with the national lawyers guild about your mutual aid project if you need advice.
