I fucking hate land acknowledgments so fucking much. I’d rather they not do it instead of make a mockery of indigenous people’s suffering and existence.

What does acknowledgment even mean? I acknowledge I stole your land and genocided your people. Reparations? What? No no no, only acknowledgment! You want me to actually give back the things I took from you?

It’s a liberal thought terminating cliche that’s supposed to make libs feel better and nothing else. “At least we can talk about it, so shut the fuck up.”

My work just sent out an email wishing everyone a happy fourth of july, with a land acknowledgement in the footer. Pick a lane, motherfuckers.

“Subway: Eat Fresh and Freeze” was something used in one of the most recognizable parodies of libertarianism that was written a little over a decade ago

Now it’s barely satire.

Hey, it’s not called that! It’s just called the Grand Pride Parade. Presented by Boeing.

Bold of them to assume that the people cheering were queers and not cishet tourists tbh. There’s a fuckton of those, you learn about it if you try to talk to people at big events like this

Sadly there are a lot of queers who could not give less of a shit about Palestine as long as they get theirs.

There is no LGBT rights until there are Palestinian rights. As long as any one minority group can be oppressed, any minority group can be oppressed.

If only there was a way to thunk that through all these thick skulls.

This is what matters. I was a “cishet” ally for years until I found out I wasn’t het and until I found out being cis is silly

Is it possible to remain “cishet” eternally? I kinda like a little gay sex but I don’t want to appropriate bi culture because society totally sees me as het

St. Louis is cursed to being home to the worst US corporations, relative to its size at least. Boeing’s military division is there (one of the biggest employers there, former McDonnell Douglas). Mallinckrodt, Monsanto (poisoning our food + inventing agricultural IP), ABInBev (shitty American beer), and Peabody/Arch Coal (coal mining and they also figured out how a corporation can legally shed their pension liabilities. And they all love their performative liberal bullshit. And you can add Michael Brown and all the racism on top of it, too.

Missouri is fucking horrible as a whole. Kansas City is an engineering hotspot. Honeywell, NSC, McDonnell, with bullet factories being the best jobs available to working class people out here.
