Yesterday we took toddler bear to the zoo nice & early & encountered the most incredible gorillas. The one dude sat down on mere feet away, folded his arms, glared at us with the most knowledgeable & disapproving look Iβve ever seen. Yeah man, I know. We (humans) are pretty epic fuck upsβ¦ π¦π»

Nothing says #July4 like a juicy slice of watermelon. This delicious fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 lbs. It's 100+ degrees in Bakersfield today. Can you imagine harvesting them in high temps? #WeFeedYou

Being annoying as praxis is only the first step. The second step is to gather likeminded neighbors and friends and ask each other how you can maximize your joint annoyingness. Congrats: this is called organizing, youβre building a base of your common man united on a common cause.

Even if you have a cute little garden you won't produce enough to live or feed a family in a societal collapse. You will always need other people. You will have to work your ass off every day and fight men at the same time. Y'all don't put laundry away for days.

There's no country on earth with a bigger differential in voting access by race. The most impacted group is Black voters. Etc For Black folk, the US has always been authoritarian by any reasonable definition. Even now, more US folk are mad about me spitting these facts, than the facts themselves.
