It definitely made me double-take at first because my brain tried to read “burners” at first until I realized that isn’t what it said…

And I thought the torches were flags for a second, too.

Banners of books

People who exist to ban books from being read

That or there’s a giant banner stretched out and made entirely of books just to the left.

I’ve been told I need to redo paperwork because I marked the date like 12APR2025.

I get standardization for computers, but for something a person is going to look at I feel like it’s very direct, needs no explanation or interpretation. Anyone who sees it should be able to figure it out instantly.

“BUt tHaTs DiFfErEnT”

HOW

Why is one okay and the other isn’t?

As usual, the only real answer is either an appeal to tradition or an appeal to authority

Let’s burn this bitch down and start over with the common man in mind, and the needs of everyone met.

Or let’s go find a new planet. With blackjack, and hookers.

Fight fire with napalm.

Works every time.

I’ve been noticing a lot of trump flags going above the American flag around Ohio.

It’s not surprising, but it is very telling.

Oh hey, you just described my in-laws. sub a minivan for the truck though.

They sure do love going on about how this nation was founded on “CHRISTIAN principles and beliefs”, yet every single word out of their mouths, every vote they cast, every action they take says “if Jesus were in front of me today I’d be the first to grab a nail gun to put that commie-social-Marxist in his place with the other snowflakes”.

I have a bunch of 10+ year old shirts that I got for about $0.93 each on July 5th.

While the faded, cracking, sometime half-gone flags are a little apropos, I only wear them now when I have a hoodie on or something that covers it. And my other shirts get worn first.

It’s really hard to find shirts that are comfortable for my body type and sensory issues and 100% cotton…

But every time I see someone with apparel or decals of American flags now, I can usually accurately guess the person’s voting habits and how they feel about the fact that gasp people can be gay. And asexual. And bi. And everything in between and around, up down and sideways.

Literally today on my way across the state I encountered a middle aged chucklefuck decked out in a button up top shorts, a hat, and phone case all adorned with the flag, and within 30 seconds of being within earshot I heard 3 different slurs.

Something something PrOuD tO bE AnMuRrIcAn 🤮

“you try proving to the SS you aren’t jewish/homosexual/autistic/POC/etc”

I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees

Hands off my forests or I’ll shoot your fucking knees.

As I’ve said time and time again, me standing up for what’s right doesn’t matter if I’m standing alone, because then I’m just some lone nut job dead in the street, that nobody will pay attention to.

Organized resistance is effective resistance. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Every day the regime reminds us why organization is important.

Man, I didn’t even know David Bowie was in Ohio that day, let alone the same zoo!

Every so often while working retail we would get an out-of-towner in the store while that happens.

They lose their shit and panic.

One time at a sports store, a guy heard the sirens at the checkout counter and just left the cart and booked it for his car. I guess he figured he would outrun anything coming at him…

The last two places I’ve lived choose a specific Wednesday of the month to test, and always at noon.

They still test in rain, so every so often you still feel that mild panic again until you look at the clock.

There’s only one appropriate response to seeing someone getting kidnapped in the street. And it sure isn’t a peaceful one.

Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

It’s still weak, just like humans are still slow.

At least compared to other animals.

But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.

And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.

Just like gravity.

We can try to keep going until we just can’t anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.

Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.

I have been personally invited by two brits and an Irishman to piss on Margaret Thatcher’s grave, and in turn I invited them to so the same to Reagan and any confederate they can find.
