Been watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix and I’m absolutely in love with Nava Mau
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the carnation revolution in Portugal. Libs seem to have forgotten what the revolution supported.
It’s unfortunate how forgotten this piece of history is outside of Portugal. I also find it funny that I’m the only person in my family that “celebrates” this day.
Yep, April 25th marks the day when the Portuguese working class, with the MFA (movimento das forças armadas) took down fascism and almost made Portugal a socialist country.
And now they are talking about celebrating another date, 25th november, which marks the end of the revolution and the start of the turn towards capitalist western succdem government. Dudes really love discrediting actually liberating movements
yep, what a time to be alive.
First they give you the bible, and by the time you finish reading it they’ve stolen all of your land.
The lack of focus I was having last week is only getting worse, I sit down to work and I just…don’t. And I’m having memory problems, last week was even more of a blur than the weeks before it. Going to see a doctor about this soon, hopefully it isn’t anything too major.
I moved this weekend and I am sore as fuck now. Always a stressful thing, moving. But it was worth it I think. It’s a nice new place. Life is sort of tiring at the moment and I hope things get better soon. At least it is supposed to be better weather soon. Can’t wait to start my herb nursery on my new balcony.
I hope everyone has a nice week.
Now that you said “I hope everyone has a nice week” did you prepair the capybara video for @graineater
My capybara collection is still in a box somewhere. I have to unpack it still.

As always, death to the Zionist entity
For any of you following the events at Columbia University:
- The NYPD (!) was asked for a statement by the NYT and could not find a justification for why they were asked to arrest the students at the encampment last Wednesday
- The genocidal (even for Zionist standards) maniac Shai Davidai had his ID deactivated but has not been fired: https://nitter.poast.org/probablyreadit/status/1782408919979045117#m
- CU allowed the tents to stay up this week: https://nitter.poast.org/CallaWalsh/status/1782227447447986347#m
- There is a pro-genocide demonstration happening across the street from campus featuring a flag which is half the flag of the US and half the flag of “Israel”
- Please boycott Columbia
I had a discussion on trans people with my family in law today and it got really nasty. As in, I walked out of the room out of madness nasty. Screaming nasty. I’m not proud of it but I snapped when I heard the ‘rapist toilet’ argument come up again.
Good on you for arguing though
Yeah. Just a shame I let myself get angry. But if they conceil their arguments behind a thin veil of ‘concern’ while the arguments contain the words ‘mental disorder’ and ‘rape’ and ‘but our current heteronormative society mag not be ready’ even I seem to have my limits.
I hope it does not affect the relationship with your girlfriend
Major support if you grabbed the person making that “argument” and throw them in a toilet.
I was going to say “should we ban poc from going to the bathroom because racists are scared of them” then I remembered they’ll probably say yes
You see, we need to have a discussion about that. And when the white people feel comfortable enough, maybe we will allow them.
It’s Kings Day in the Netherlands today. I’m against the monarchy so I’ll not wear the royal color Orange when I go outside. For me it’s just an excuse to go party, but this year I’m less in the mood than usual
I always feel like a sour twat in my communist anti monarchist vibe this day. Luckily i live in Belgium now.
gawd i hate orange site with every fiber of my being
Also NK already has anime. Squirrel and Hedgehog slaps and it’s from the 80s. I’m also pretty sure NK must have furries as a result
maybe 9/11 was just a marketing ploy for general motors to increase white male anxiety and sell more big pickup trucks ten years later
about come and see. i agree with this
