we weren't spending a billion dollars a day on war[in iraq], and our meat wasn't

"I'm aware now
how finite all human relationships are
how finite the charisma and beauty of youth can be
both internal and external
I'm aware now, how deep and special the moments are
when you're with the person you're falling in love with
And that you need to make the best of their every second
You can stare blankly into the distance,
and only be
waiting
and you can't always not be doing this
but those seconds are precious and worth a lot"
2010: #noagenda on the g20 protests and the police response.
worth remembering : this is what happens when we elect conservatives - a billion dollars+ spent, toronto becoming an occupied zone...etc

Even the tools that allow you to make sense of loss, you'll eventually lose. If you want to survive, practice losing, because you're going to need to be able to hit the ground rolling when the big pillars that hold you up crumble.

"quick rundown:
-
feminism.lgbt was a mastodon instance that, on the surface, looked to be like your typical left-leaning instance, complete with a ridiculous about page
-
in fact, that's why i signed up: i was disenfranchised from being constantly banned from mastodon instances for my edgy memes, and i wanted to bait one final retard into banning me so i couldn move on
-
so you can imagine my surprise when sjw at feminism dot lgbt was actually an anime posting impostor. it was the perfect cover
-
many fun times were had under this false impression, including very surprised mastodon users reporting sjw to himself and the first inklings of what became #fediblock
-
however, one day we got a bit too cocky and trolled the wrong person. they started a mass email campaign to the registrar of .lgbt and got our domain take. away for "hate speech against the lgbt community"
-
neckbeard.xyz was registered as a replacement, and sjw switched to hosting pleroma instead of mastodon"

interesting that none of the stories of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junayd_of_Baghdad (and Sari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sari_al-Saqati ) from #kashfAlMahjub appear in his wikipedia
article
sari / baghdadi went to sleep
sari dreamt allah was getting muhammed #ﷺ telling baghdadi something, muhammed #ﷺ shows up in baghdadi's dream telling him something.
This coincidence of makyo is a cute trick, but was used as evidence of not just their faith but also that *the sheikh gets access to the dreamstate of his disciples
"Sheikhs are in every case acquainted with the inwardly experiences of their disciples"
Imagine believing this today. This is the sort of thing young children believe about adults before they get a fully developed theory of mind - they don't know that their parents can't know
what they are thinking without inference, and don't know how an inference can be drawn.
2024
for anyone who wants to live in a country where the next generation of youth are excited about science and challenging the understanding of our world using experiment, instead of just passively accepting ancient backwards religious dogma.
