  • Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

    Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then “start” my round and repeat when I need to log that I “visited” a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.




  • It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don’t want to use the neutral “they”, and instead want unique pronouns such as “xi/xir” or some such.

    I personally don’t agree with it. I’ll just continue to use the singular “they”, as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.





  • The problem is that people are not exercising their political power to the fullest extent.

    Going to a demonstration where people are just standing around and voice their concerns doesn’t actually exert any legitimate political power. It is toothless. Failure to listen to demands doesn’t hold any consequences for them or threaten their control. They know we will all still have to go home and participate in the system that they control and gives them their power over us.

    Protests of the past worked because the people stopped listening to their authority and threatened to take back control for themselves. That took monumental efforts of organizing to allow people to exert their own political power over their labor in order to put a wrench into the gears of the system.

    The point of a protest is for, the reason it worked in the past was due to, people taking a stand to say “change this system to better benefit us or we are going to change it without you”

    It’s time to start changing.


  • This country is so fucking stupid and brainwashed.

    The establishment has spent the last century doing everything in its power to control the narrative around the Civil Rights Movement (and, even though not mentioned, the Labor Movement before it) into this idealized “peaceful revolution”, making sure to erase any mentions of the effective methods which were able to buckle the system and force it to listen to demands from our education.

    This article explains exactly why and proves that they were effective in their efforts. Now, when we need to do the same thing as our forefathers, no one knows what we need to do, and insist on copying half measures without understanding the full picture of why those methods worked in the first place. People have this idealized vision of that time period; a vision that was tailor made to ensure compliance and that they be wary of those who actually know the truth and advocate for effective methods of protest or alternatives.
