Trump stinks! yeah yeah

Remember that tune? I’m not sure why I put the ostensibly most important and enlightened political thought of our day to the only J. Geils Band song I have at my immediate recall since I haven’t heard it in a long time. Maybe it’s the pause between the repetition of “love stinks” — like the […]

reality nightmare: TRUMP! part two

Continuing from part one, I take a look at the polarization caused by the Obama effect that’s been important in shifting focus away from him and onto Trump with regard to immigration. I try not to complain about an odious Jacobin article too much and who they represent instead moving on to who is really being […]

reality nightmare: TRUMP! part one

Departing from my research on eugenics, but only slightly in this first installment expanding on the reality nightmare theme I discussed last time, I am doing a series on the anti-Trump production that has been gaining momentum. Please do not take this to mean I don’t find antifascist action important — what I find sorely lacking […]

pyramid schemed pain

My husband and I turned on what is now known as television the other night – a show of our “choice” from a limited menu of what is “free” via streaming services that will now charge you another $35 a year or so to not see additional ads. But this had really terrible ads, and […]

here and there

For a while during my 20s, I was all “er fuck thanksgiving colonial holiday”. It’s not that deep of a sentiment actually, because the holiday is for people getting together who have all been touched by settler colonialism in some way, no matter the stated intent of who it’s supposed to “honor”. That’s what happens. […]

pseudo unity, adulterated antifascism

The ongoing “Nazi Soldier Honored” production in Canada is really a high-level operation and not nearly as crude as elements of it appear to be, even to a critical eye. I think it is an elevation of the Trump show and demonstration of lessons learned communicating a “yes, we own all and operate on a […]

a reader’s digest explanation of blogging absence

I realized in March, a year since this began, that I had not posted anything since October of last year. And then I sat down to type and realized WordPress updated their editor to something incomprehensible, at least for my first few stabs at it. I still don’t like it, I’ll say that. I haven’t […]

rising and falling

I’ve been waking up most mornings with an earnest hope that everyone has snapped out of this mask madness, this social distancing distraction, and that we can just forget this whole mess and move forward out of this advance toward total psychotic ruling class domination of every aspect of our lives. I wish it was […]

the “invisible enemy” exacted by the very visible

I #stayedthefuckhome today from carrying so much tension and being utterly exhausted and wanting to eat everything, but apparently the governor of our state will be issuing a “stay at home order” this afternoon barring all movement but for those who are deemed as “essential employees”. Everyone who has to work is essential to my […]

take my life, please!

You know that when the fascist state’s many nodes of power start telling you that they are concerned about your and the general public’s health something’s up. Synchrony Bank sent me an email about their precautions and three emails later, I found out they increased my credit limit. Hah! Everything indeed is very surreal. There […]
