This. Forever.
Please repeat it as often as you need to in order to escape the gravity well of repetition, gaslighting and constant normalising.
You absolutely DON’T need to know ‘what crazy thing he said this time’.
Eschew the spectacle.
I’m barely awake, I have a coffee, and this is what confronts me as I enter my study. The sentinels of my labours.
Good morning! #cats #catsOfMastodon
Excellent bit of wild psychoanalysis,
"America has blown 80 years of accumulated goodwill and trust among its allies, our American moderator was told […] America’s recent actions have destroyed the ability of any ally to continue to have faith in America to act even within its own strategic self-interest, let alone that of any ally"

There is only one reason why both Russia and the US under Trump are chomping at the bit to break the EU apart and that is because, together, we are a significant threat to their corrupt version of a world order.
Parties in Europe clamouring to help Russia and the US succeed are, quite frankly, traitors to their own states.
Whether they’re doing it for ideological or financial reasons (probably for both), they are knowingly placing their own citizens in a position of subordination.
The Trump administration is a line-up of the world’s most unmasculine men - Bonespurs Trump, Fox-commando, self-abhoring alcoholic Hegseth, sexually confused stoner RFK, couch humper, morally and intellectually limp as spaghetti J.D. Vance.
They literally are the most laughable gallery of snowflakes in the history of the world.

I’m finding this hard to put into words, but I feel like I’m watching a really bad amateur play put on my toddlers who are so fundamentally unmasculine (not feminine - just unmasculine) that they have no real understanding of what that means, so they’re reaching for symbols of masculinity in badly written fiction.
“Why Intolerance and Extremism Happen”
@Teri_Kanefield has made her book free to everyone.
No one has a right to ask writers to write for free, so it is important to acknowledge the generosity and ethical position of Ms Kanefield for doing this, and applaud it.
Good god, every so often, you run across the fucking ugliest minds on here.
"What are a few dead kids? Unfortunate reality.”
What a fucking piece of work.
Please get your diseased brain off my timeline. *blocked*
I have always contended that there is a way in which women in latin societies (and I am sure there are others that are similar, I’m just not so familiar with them) take on their femininity - and it is a kind of aggressive femininity. I don’t mean aggressive in a negative sense, but as an active state of being. There’s a pride in their gaze, in the way they hold themselves, that is confronting. That speaks of ownership of the self.
I don’t see it in Anglophone women in the same way.
I love this photograph… there is a way certain women inhabit the eye of a camera that is beyond words.

I don’t care how much you admire Noam Chomsky. For centuries, men in high positions have behaved unspeakably to women and children, and I don’t give a shit how great a thinker they were.
Indeed if anyone had the capacity to understand the monstrous consequences of a power imbalance and what consent is, it’s people like Chomsky.

Some days it feels like half my timeline is in Finnish. 
Thank you for all the wonderful follow prompts, Sune!
