Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.

If only there was a story in the Bible about feeding people who needed food…

Christians have erased New Testament Jesus.

Even worse, Congressional Christians use their religion to humiliate children.

Not feeding children is meant to humiliate them. Nutrition is a big factor in education and learning. Depriving already vulnerable children of food/nutrition is planned negligence.

The patriarchy and paternalism have no interest in protecting children, their peers, and constructs that serve children.

Unless and until the current "leaders" are gone, and replaced by fighters who give a fuck about working people, I'm done with fundraising and knocking on doors and all the other work I did for years, just so Cuck Schumer (ha! that was not an intentional typo! the h on my keyboard didn't connect, and now I can't change it) could stab me and people like me in the back on his way back to his mansion.

The Democratic Party needs our own Tea Party movement to take the party back from people like Schumer and Jefferies. We need to send Fetterman into the wilderness for the rest of his life.

There are good people who want to fight for the middle class and the working poor and all the marginalized, vulnerable people who Schumer and the Vichy fucks who also voted yes abandoned.

There are good people who want to be elected Democrats who will not throw the Trans community and all of our Trans siblings under the bus in an effort to appeal to shitty dirtbags who will never vote for a Democrat.

There are good people who will fight for you, who will fight to preserve human rights in America and around the world, even -- especially -- if it pisses off the billionaires who own Schumer and the Vichy Democrats.

We just need to get the Schumers and the Fettermans and the rest of them out of the way. We may risk some losses on the way, but ask yourselves: what's the practical difference between a Republican who votes for MAGA terror and a Democrat who votes for MAGA terror?

There's no point to us working for and electing Democrats who are going to behave like Republicans when it counts. In fact, it's shooting ourselves in the foot and the face all at once.

Make them earn our donations, our time, our energy, our willingness to reach out to everyone we can, and don't ever let them forget what happened to the Vichy fucks who didn't.

Make them afraid of us, so they work for us or get out of the way for someone who will.

Researcher needs help

Hi Tumblr!

I'm doing my master thesis in art history on the creation of a new museum focused on briton music, a folk art from an oral based dying culture, and I am looking for other examples / attempts at valorisation of folk music, ideally from other threatened cultures. Anything celtic would be awesome, since there would be a common ancestry, but I'm interested in any other music you might think of, like indigenous music, slavic, asian, black... Basically, if you can think of a place / time in which people tried to figure out how to make their musical cultural heritage available to a wider public, I want to hear about it!!!

You can contact me here, but if (hopefully) I get a lot of replies, I'll add an email to make things easier for everyone.

Wow, Tumblr is fuckin' HYPE for the Ides of March this year. I wonder why that could possibly be.

The fundamental issue we face as a nation right now isn’t the size of the government or how “efficient” it is — but who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

before it gets bad I'm just gonna tell y'all certain rich people have literally only recently noticed Open Source software availability compromises the bottom line of their proprietary investments so if you see little chickadees on this website talking about the dangers of Open Source software all of a sudden it's cuz they accidentally sipped some koolaid mixed up by the far right yacht people to fuck with peoples software sovereignty and right to repair, modify, and redistribute robust codebases that become a problem when 30% of your portfolio is in, oh, say, adobe or openai.

This is your unfriendly neighborhood computer fucker telling you not to fall for it and to demand your right to digital sovereignty rather than trusting companies to make correct choices about what to do with the parts of your life they would very much like to have in the cloud to continue improving their products.

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.
