I yearn so hard for white anti fascist people. if you’re a white anti fascist I would hug the shit out of you and probably cry in your arms for a little while. anyways this is what my wife has to go through every day
in the brewery
young guy drumming a beat loudly on the bar waiting for his beer
me to myself: dude calm down you’re in a public place
guy gets his beer, walks over to the piano and plays two of the most heartbreakingly beautiful piano solos (accompanied by vocals) that I’ve ever heard. he ends his set, pays for his beer and leaves.
as he walks by I say to him, good stuff man. he says thanks and hands me his business card printed on a cardboard scrap. apparently it’s the last one hes carrying. gonna go home and listen to the rest of his stuff on Spotify.

I’m more excited about voting in an election than the eagles season
this is the very first time ever that fall colors have sunk my heart. because it’s nowhere close to fall in Pennsylvania. these are trees changing color and shedding their leaves because of widespread drought. we’re watching the living planet die in real time and white Americans don’t want to do anything about it because climate justice also involves social justice
one thing I learned very late in my life is you are allowed to appreciate things that no one else can and this is why you fucking rock
it is okay to be mentally ill or republican. what is not okay is not treating that as a problem
most republican politicians are mentally ill. no one has told them they’re mentally ill because being mentally ill so closely aligns with american conservatism
there are moments in my life when I’m like I’m having the best time of my life. this is one of those moments. I’m just sitting by a campfire playing my music with tree crickets chirping their orchestra above me. this is the best time of my life. couldn’t ask for more.
I’m sorry what? the gop candidate for pa governor is a young earther?

the Hillary Clinton campaign was the last non performative campaign. it was assumed that the whites were smart enough to prefer substance over theater. unfortunately the whites did not prefer substance over theater. so now political campaigns are gonna have to do theater and ignore the substance. just because the whites are white.
you can fool a lot of people with your performance theater. but to the rest of us you’ll still be just a stupid brain dragging a body along
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. where we perform for the white stupids. and it is fucking hilarious. and it gets us in. and then we fucking govern the shit out of the government.

the life hack is to be able to have fun and be happy by yourself. have your happiness be independent of other people. include them in your happiness whenever possible but have your own happy space that you can withdraw into as often as you can. interpersonal happiness is nice but personal happiness, those are the moments I remember
holy shit, I’m standing outside on my deck at night listening to an eastern screech owl calling to my right and a great horned owl calling to my left and foxes calling each other to my front. love my tiny little patch of suburban backyard Pennsylvania wilderness
“bordering on unintelligible”. basically all of contemporary American conservatism in a nutshell

when anyone tells you why trump shouldn't be prosecuted the only proper response is fuck you
#one thing to remember when people scream and shout and whimper and wail, doesn’t matter whether they are outraged Republicans or terrified Democrats or apathetic independents, doesn’t matter if it’s george will of the Washington Post or david brooks of the new york times. when they say that the justice department shouldn’t investigate donald trump, a former president, just because it appears politically motivated, bros, the justice department is in this position only because the Republican party not only has failed to keep his crimes in check but has been actively complicit in his crimes. fucking people literally tried to violently overturn the election for him in a failed coup. rule of thumb for Republicans: if you don’t want your leader to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t overlook his crimes, more importantly, don’t help him commit crimes, request to him gently but firmly to not commit crimes and if he refuses to honor your request and insists on commiting crimes, make it clear that you’re not on board with his crimes and impeach and convict him for his crimes. sorry Republicans you can’t have it both ways. you can’t have your daddy commit crimes and look the other way and then also not have him prosecuted for his crimes. fuck you. and fuck everyone else who doesn’t want him to be prosecuted because it looks political, fuck you too. fuck you too because this shit IS political. no not the prosecuting part, it’s the not prosecuting part. not prosecuting a criminal violent domestic terrorist just because he’s the leader of a political party is political. if you don’t want politics to enter the justice department, donald has to be prosecuted. fuck your appeasement shit. but more importantly, fuck you.
grateful to every news organization who is now accompanying their headlines with the picture of a shitty pink palace instead of a bloated orange face dead eyes mouth wide open screaming about something
kind of strange that sarah “dumber than an empty bag of hammers” palin who supports donalds claims of mail in ballot fraud will be waiting 2 weeks for mail in ballots to be counted in alaska
it’s apparent to everyone other than the dumbest of trump supporters that donald wants to see the affidavit so he can decide which lie among all his contradictory lies to ultimately settle on and also which witnesses to intimidate
fascinating that paying homage to trump and repeating his lies isn’t enough anymore to qualify you to be a gop member of congress, you also have to make up adjacent unnecessary lies to stand out of the competition.
it was only a matter of time before I got a customized Viking ox-horn beer mug

fetterman up by 18, shapiro up by 15. keep nominating those dirty trumpies, gop
Florida is officially a failed state. which explains why the Republican base loves its governor

what stage of trumper grief is it where you start to argue that the constitution doesnt prevent felons from being president
donald could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and rand paul would introduce a bill to legalize murder, marjorie taylor greene would film herself going on a copy cat murder spree, kevin mccarthy would blame the nypd for not stopping donald from shooting ppl, jim jordan would threaten to investigate Hunter Biden for the shooting, lauren boebert would claim it’s a false flag operation to ban guns and mitch mcconnell would turn into a literal turtle and disappear inside his shell.
