One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

sucks that tradwives are a thing because it makes impossible to go places and brag about how my wife is so good at baking bread and sewcraft and hot water canning without sounding like the world's most heteropatriarchal socialist lesbian

We absolutely should be horrified by reports of planned public executions and see them as an overt re-embrace of spectacle lynchings--while also understanding that the story of the "modern" death penalty in this country is inextricable from that history, rooted in racial violence & white supremacy.

Alabama’s Lynching Memorial and the Legacy of Racial Terror in the South

At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, the historical link between lynching and the death penalty is hard to miss.

counterpoint: if we win every game by this trend where the opposing team gets on the ice and simply forgets how to play hockey every time, that’s actually extremely funny

this season of washcaps hockey, where we spent all of our money and resources putting together a team everyone universally agrees kicks ass, is already very challenging for me, a person who specifically loves rooting for a team that is mid at best

I have my favorite professor for class again this semester and routinely he will say something with such conviction and gentleness that it makes me nearly cry listening to a grad school class lecture. this is today's:

it’s literally always worth standing ten toes down on the right to repair movement IMO. either you fix the old one and practice a very cool skill in the process or you fuck it up and just have to go with the other option, which you were prepared to do anyway, but you still learned something.

“I don’t have a problem with trans people, I just don’t think they should be able to use public bathrooms or play sports or get healthcare—“ ok so that’s segregation. you are functionally a segregationist. and you want me to believe that fights fascism somehow. ok.

Hi, poor person here. this is an incorrect trope often used by the upper classes. both political parties cater to the very rich who have oddball priorities often driven by esoteric moral values. the poor are never given an option to vote for any of their own interests at all. thanks for reading.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

angelika does these monthly secret screening events where members can get super cheap tickets to see advance showings of flicks that are getting theatrical release soon, but you don’t know what they are before the movie starts

if we can find a good time absolutely!!! i was really trying to see it after work tomorrow bc it’s on my way back from the city but they only have like 2pm and 10pm. i’ll look at some other weekend times though!

alex flannelshirt @coffeedetective.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

this is slightly unfair: the angelika is showing it, but i was trying to find somewhere else to see it because i was upset with the angelika for showing all the harry potter movies. except apparently EVERYWHERE is showing them, and only the angelika has camp miasma as well.

030

alex flannelshirt @coffeedetective.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

the fact that i can’t find an evening showing of camp miasma anywhere but every fucking movie theatre has room for 8 different harry potter movies is going to make me the joker

also, it should go without saying but i know/am aware that these medications are not in fact cures. that is what i am talking about. but the public marketing/presentation/distillation/social narrative presenting them as such intentionally obfuscates and downplays systemic correlates of health.

alex flannelshirt @coffeedetective.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

does that mean that medical management for addiction is a bad thing? no! it’s amazing. but, especially in the USA, medicine does not exist devoid of systemic—and social!!—context.

alex flannelshirt @coffeedetective.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

if an “addiction cure” becomes commonplace, where does that leave people who can’t afford it? who relapse? can’t tolerate it? just don’t want it? well—it leaves them with fewer supports, more negativity around accessing resources, increased judgment, decreased community, & poorer outcomes overall.

alex flannelshirt @coffeedetective.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

which is that the widespread emergence of a super-effective *~miracle cure~* puts disproportionately more pressure on people who then, for whatever reason, *don’t* use it.

really interesting thread (read in its ENTIRETY, pls) that highlights some of the issues with “silver bullet“ cures in the context of the systems within which they occur. unfortunately, as we are already seeing with GLP-1s in the cosmetic weight loss application, there is an additional factor here—
