"It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui." - Helen Keller (Formerly Yet Lotuses Bloom.)
Having to be a Chinese-American whose country of birth is hated, whose adopted country is also hated and is itself consumed by centuries-long hatreds, whose atheism makes me part of one of the most hated demographics, whose asexuality is misunderstood and, yes, hated...
How can I NOT hate myself?
Blocking me for disagreement over a provable fact—Genghis Khan was a cruel, bloodthirsty imperialist brute with a vast empire—is part of the reason why I'm fucking leaving this place.
In what way are his descendants a threat to Xi? Why even post that at all except to express your hatred of China?
Goodbye.
Have a nice life.
I see it. I know it. It rips me apart each day as someone whose heart has never left China despite having lived 36 years in the US.
But I know China will continue to exist, as it has in some form or another over 5000 years.
Long after the USA finally, inevitably cannibalizes itself due to racism.
It hasn't escaped my notice that some here think Mongols should re-invade China, that the panda isn't a Chinese animal, that China needs to be broken up.
I KNOW you'll NEVER say SHIT about imperialist Japan because you love their culture. No one ever speaks about the atrocities Japan committed.
I have nothing more to gain on Bluesky. My interactions were no longer satisfactory and and only serve as a reminder of how I've always felt like an outcast.
Anti-Chinese and anti-China sentiment is rampant, and I'm sick of having my country of birth trashed, my culture treated as less-than.
If you wanted to make a point about Xi Jinping being a brutal imperialist dictator, you could do much better than using notoriously bloodthirsty imperialist Genghis Khan as a foil.
You want to talk imperialism? The Mongol Empire at its peak was far larger than China has ever been.
Stop this.
Let's see how many followers I can lose with one post.
Coffee isn't all that.
I hate butter.
Cheese makes me bloat.
Beer tastes nasty.
Bacon is unhealthy.
Cow's milk is for calves.
Fried foods? With our healthcare system?
And finally...
Football is a celebration of violence.
Democracy has always been a nice idea in theory, yet in practice, participation has always been limited to a relative few members of society. It has never been a fair system, and we've been regressing after making so many hard-fought gains that challenged white male hegemony. They want Athens back.
Isn't it ironic that when the ancient Athenians established the first democracy in world history, only adult males who were native-born and free could vote?
Who's eligible to participate in a democracy has been limited since democracy was first put in practice. They want to return it to its roots.
The way Jasmine Crockett is being treated mirrors exactly what happened to Kamala Harris, and it’s why Michelle Obama wants nothing to do with electoral politics. America loves the idea of Black women, but not giving us real power. #pinks #Momsky
I called people out on Democratic Underground for expressing the same sentiment that Trevor did and got flamed for it.
DU, DKos, Wonkette, etc. are teeming with white liberals who'll swear to God that they are the least racist people ever only to shit on Black people for the flimsiest of reasons.
Age verification?
I used to play Number Munchers and Oregon Trail off a 5.25" floppy disk on an Apple II computer.
Pro-Palis fucked up the world in the name of Gaza, including Gaza itself.
And they are proud of it.
I feel less American for not liking football.
“Candidate A supports 90% of what I believe in. Candidate B only supports 10% of what I belive in. Therefore, both candidates fail to support 100% of what I believe in and I will not vote for either.”
And that’s how we got here.
Here's the thing that irks me. Half these motherfuckers sat home and didn't vote and told all their friends to not vote or as white people they voted for this bullshit and now that they're miserable they want everyone else to be miserable with them.
GTFOH!!!
Nothing in the history of the world could be more stupid than surviving trump somehow & then giving him the keys again & nothing you can ever say will change the fact that you should be shamed for eternity & this includes all eligible voters who did not vote for Kamala Harris. So just cut the shit.
Various styles of compression gloves
Happy Black History Month!
It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale.
These compression gloves are great quality and have helped so many people reduce their hand pain and swelling. It allows them to do things longer!

Denmark or other European countries are not socialist.
They are all market based capitalist countries *with high taxation rates*.
Biden wanted to raise taxes on those making 400K and up BTW.
There’s a reason why Bernie Sanders has been anti-immigration for the vast majority of his career— labor hates immigrants because they’re competition at the bottom; capital likes immigrants for the same reason-- the US left being pro-immigrant is sort of a modern anomaly
Hamas and Netanyahu were not willing to negotiate as Netanyahu wanted a Trump win.
And since Trump won, how's the ceasefire? How is Gaza?
Hey everyone, when you scream at Democrats instead of Republicans you show this regime that the more they break the law, the madder you get at Democrats.
Why would Republicans stop? This is win/win for them unless you start acting like they have agency. They have the WH, Congress, & SCOTUS.
Not for nothing, the person who coined the "Kamala is a cop" meme that took off like wildfire in "leftists" circles was a woman who was convicted under Harris' tenure as AG for indecent contact with a minor, a teenage boy.
a reminder.
racism and antisemitism from the left is an equally bad thing as it is from the right.
Rearranged two of my bedrooms, turning one into a computer/media room and the other into some semblance of an art studio.
And I am exhausted.
Talking about the Dems are weak. No, YOU'RE weak, stupid AND selfish for not voting like you gave a shit about anyone other than yourself.
Not finding rape funny makes one humorless now?
That's enough Bluesky for me today.
I am obsessed with emperor penguins.
Especially their adorable chicks.
Someone actually transcribed emperor penguin noises onto sheet music.
Now I've seen it all.
