Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I remember reading that at one point the plan was to end the Clone Saga with Peter retiring and Ben taking over. While those comics were almost certainly also gonna be bad, would we really have lost anything? 010

Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Basically hundreds of frat guys and alumni all over the country (but especially concentrated among SEC schools) will use anonymous Twitter accounts to spread revenge porn (including videos of rape) and sort of sexually gangstalk various young women for fictitious sexual transgressions. 140

Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Castro had critiques for what he viewed as an insufficiently militant and mobilized working class but you don't give golden guns to guys you hate. Allende died with that gun in his hands. Even the most cynical reading of Castro's actions would indicate he was trying to be a major ally. 0210

Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Lol I posted this before actually watching the video. Is that the audio quality on her podcast too? 000
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Really good demonstration of the difference between the DSA and everyone else is that you don't see Chevalier or Mamdani doing interviews with a bad webcam from their living room. 100
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 11/07/2026You can do whatever you want to Tyler Herro imo 000
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Like compare the relationship Chevalier or Valdez have with local left wing activism to Sawant for a minute and you'll have a good idea of which of these people is actually serious. 000
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Anyone supporting Sawant is probably well-meaning but it's very funny for her to try and position herself to the left of DSA. She's so much more emblematic of left critiques of electoralism than anyone they got elected in the past year or so. 100

Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Even if that was possible I don't see why it's a reason to continue to give them a million planes for free. 010
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/06/2026There's an old, probably aprocryphal story of Soviet soldiers forcing a German soldier to play piano for hours, shooting him in the head when he was done. This is, in microcosm, what October 7th was. 010
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Every single violent conflict has had "lethal violence in excess of self-defense." It does nothing to try and figure out where "excess" happens. Any Palestinian action taken to destroy Israel is not excess, that's impossible in the context of genocide. 110
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/06/2026And i gotta be honest, I really do not care if there was "lethal violence in excess of self-defense." I really don't. That's not the moral territory on which these kinds of things are argued. 110
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Anyone who could point to Gaza on a map on Oct. 6th knew that the Israeli response would be untold horrors, because that's the Israeli response to everything. 110
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I mean there was definitely expectation but why should October 7th not be celebrated? Morally speaking what is the difference between October 7th and, say, the Haitian Revolution? 100
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Do you really think Elon Musk was generally aware of left wing critiques of the structure of US foreign aid? You think he's got a copy of Shock Doctrine on his shelf or something? 000

Reposted by Shrinkage VioletJeff Sharlet @jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 23/06/2026There's a great deal that's alarming about the Prairieland sentencing, regardless of how one views the shooter, but the biggest deal is 30 years for a man who wasn't there, convicted of moving a box of zines while knowing protesters.

Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Maybe it's just a reality of there being fewer legal dramas and studio comedies overall. Not sure. All I know is that I can't exactly recommend Castration Movie to my mom. 000
Shrinkage Violet @shrinkageviolet.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Idle thought, but the 90's New Queer Cinema wave was paralleled at the time by a bunch of big studio message movies about being gay (think Philadelphia, Birdcage, In & Out). The current wave of trans cinema doesn't really have this yet. 110
