@mattjhodgkinson Very interesting - thanks!

Oh and even more sad in some ways is the fact that when these groups collapse because the same old types dominate the groups and settle into roles of responsibility and/or "leadership," those types shake their heads at folks not contributing enough to keep it going. They don't even recognise the comically tragic irony.

From my experience, there are way too many anticapitalist spaces that collapse pretty quickly because they allow a replication of common power imbalances - for example, they quickly become dominated by white cishet men and more marginalised voices are shut out. I'm not saying it's intentional every time, it's just something too many groups are allowing to happen at launch.

Everyone who JK Rowling considers an enemy is a fucking angel by comparison because JK Rowling is verifiable dogshit as a person and malevolence is the motivation of every goddamn thing she does.

@GreenRoc Thanks. And hell yes, well said!

@GreenRoc Yesss!

The same person also told both of us (wearing our masks) how they'd had Covid but recovered and is glad things are "better now" because so much mass mask wearing meant "children didn't learn how to smile." Wait, babies don't innately smile?! And what? Why were parents and children masking at home for dinner? What the fuck? What is wrong with these people? They work in the National Health Service! Another reminder that the NHS is not itself immune to misinformation, disinformation, or ideology either, for that matter. Masks work. Masks are good. Not enough people wear them. They are a weapon against Covid, and eugenics, and fascism. #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

I can confirm that my partner's Long Covid and ME symptoms worsened after this test, also being told by a member of staff "See? You could do it!" when clearly "could" does not at all always mean "should," not by a long shot. https://thesicktimes.org/2025/04/08/its-like-torture-the-tilt-table-test-could-be-risky-for-many-people-with-long-covid/ #ME #MECFS #LongCovid

@maggiejk @mu Yes! Even more now I will shout: Go bears! (Or are these another kind of bears...I should really know this...!)

@maggiejk @fkamiah17 Ah, so many of us have done. The best of us admit it! I was posting my old Obama t-shirt to someone here the other day, and don't get me started on my defence of Ed Miliband, the same guy who later rejected his party members' choice of his successor.

@mu Go bears! (And I'm not from Chicago)

@maggiejk @fkamiah17 Well said!

@maggiejk @fkamiah17 It's bizarre because I recently read the superb comic book series Survival Street and that was supposed to be far-fetched with the U.S. becoming governed by corporations yet it seems to have turned out to be almost prophetic. Good grief.

@fkamiah17 Ha, exactly. I still remember "freedom fries," oh my stars...

I think they mean "dystopian": https://www.popsci.com/technology/billionaire-freedom-city-greenland/
