Obviously this map is inaccurate because Central and South America, Asia etc should be pits too.

Almost a mayor but not

As a trans woman I find this pretty spot on. And bleak.

Historically, even unpopular dictators who ruin their countries tend to hang on to power indefinitely: Cuba,…

But also we’re just going to fire shots at the most LGBTQ progressive country in North/Central America, on the way out.

It was weird, there was all this talking about how she was going to die of kidney failure immediately but there was no mention of dialysis.

Baby Zombies will jump onto chickens and ride them, it’s pretty rare.

It’s the explanation for the beach Spongebob visits too

They’re like small minority of Christian proto anarchists (no priests no churches, occaisonal communes/intentional communities) who are extreme pacifists, but understand how imperialism, social murder and slavery is violence, constantly acting against it by non violent but radical means.

A bunch fled the UK to the USA to avoid religious persecution and them immediately got started to get themselves lynched for helping slaves escape and working with first Nations people.

That said Richard Nixon’s parents were Quakers and he was ostensibly one at some point, but he sort of drifted out of it in college before ever getting disowned (quaker excommunication). But he kept the ascetic aesthetic (Quakers don’t drink or smoke, wear fancy clothes etc)

I get what you mean but Quakers have been persecuted for pretty much always being on right side of history their whole existence.

What is to be done?

Finished or just reading?

I’m almost finished Ex Libris by Simon Groth. It’s like a YA update of Fahrenheit 451. It has this gimmick that 12 chapters are randomly shuffled, like background vignettes on the 4 main characters so every copy is unique. Neat in concept but overall the book is okay, fun at times but not great.

Before that I finished Everything for Everyone : an Oral History of the New York Commune. It’s a speculative fiction post a successful 21st century communist revolution. It’s nice to read an upbeat sci fi setting, and I think it’s good to show societies absent of capitalism like The Dispossessed does. I found it a bit slow though, like it’s anthology interviews, not a lot of drama or tension.

Before that I raced through Welcome to Dorley Hall and really liked it. I’m trying to wait for the next paperback as I’m trying to get back into physical book reading but it’s so good I might read it online via the patreon.
