@Flipboard @TheConversationUS I guarantee that, if I didn't have my art, I would probably be some frightening maniac wandering the streets, shouting incoherently at strangers about the indignities of how certain sandwiches are prepared. But let's not kid ourselves. Building a computer or "tinkering" with an auto is not really a creative act. Certainly not on the same level as composing a choral piece or writing a novel inspired by the Oulipo school.

@Flipboard @CultureDesk It's been a rough week, but I'll get back to you later on my opinions on sandwiches. LOL. That Y cut, however, horrifies me on an aesthetic level. Thank you for scarring my gustatory sensibilities on a Friday afternoon! haha.

@Radical_EgoCom If I have to distribute my writing in the streets, well then I'll just dust off those old zine skillz I honed in the 90s. 🤣

@futurebird You know, if there were even a few words about passing the leadership to the next generation, it would be incredibly effective. But the Biden campaign team is astonishingly tone-deaf on that point. They don't understand that younger voters (a) are very angry about his position on Israel and (b) are ready to sit this out or protest by way of RFK Jr. because they do not feel included in our democratic process. And that's going to destroy the Democratic Party once Trump dies.

So @futurebird got me thinking as I'm working my way through Richard Evans's Third Reich trilogy. Subscribing to hard masculine and feminine details as the defining qualities of a person or a gender (especially if you are going to condemn them with hate) really is a form of phrenology, isn't it? Not too much of a stretch to recall pink triangles and the way the Nazis persecuted Magnus Hirschfeld and destroyed Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.#lgbtqia #gender

@futurebird Thank you for this perspective. It's important to consider that entire generations are growing up without physical media. Does this create more artistic disposability?

@futurebird Also roll your own. We need more people being outspoken. The more voices we have, the more options we have to consider.

@futurebird The family trees taped to my wall right now. Definitely real writing. I'd be lost without this.

@futurebird Well, there's a reason why we use the term "covert fascist" or, back in the Nixon era, "the silent majority." These people cloak their true hateful intent and only allow it into the public eye when it is deemed "acceptable." The rest of us -- that is, more benign weirdos -- have no such qualms about being open about our weirdness because it is more of an eccentric expression of humanism. Which we are often impugned for. Often by "liberal" normies.

@futurebird Big difference. 😂😂 If only we could persuade the haters that putting your energies into a geeky pastime is a better use of your time than hating on people. But they can't even be bothered to Google the subjects they don't know about. And they don't realize that the person who thinks about nothing but trains has an infinitely greater likelihood of stumbling upon an unusual idea that could actually improve humanity!

Lost a bunch of transphobic "liberal" followers for speaking out against Gavin Newsom and calling on that turncoat to have his political career destroyed.Good. YOU ARE FUCKING BIGOTS and I DON'T WANT you here if you stand against LGBTQIA. As far as I'm concerned, you intolerant covertly hateful fuckheads would break bread with Bull Connor right before he unleashed the firehoses and the dogs to attack Black people. That's how hateful you are. In short, GET FUCKED.#lgbtqia #gavinnewsom

@futurebird I'm right there with you. I have no tolerance for fascists or neoliberals gaslighting me in even the smallest of ways.
