The absolute spot on perfect description of what is currently happening in Belfast that has triggered violent, racist pogroms across the rest of the UK.

Its male violence, period.

(text of tweets below)

What the fuck is happening in Ireland has zero to do with injustice. It’s pure male violence, plain and simple, the same testosterone saturated, low-IQ, chromosome damaged primate aggression that’s always turned packs of men into rampaging animals the second they get the weakest excuse to burn, loot, and beat the shit out of everything in reach. These worthless cunts are out there torching the homes and cars of ordinary working people decent men and women who bust their fucking arses every single day just to keep a roof over their kids’ heads and food on the table, destroying the lives and livelihoods of the very people these brain-dead apes pretend to care about.

A filthy mob of knuckle dragging, brain-dead scum, bored, racist, radicalized fucking troglodytes being whipped into a bloodthirsty frenzy like rabid attack dogs by parasitic multimillionaire grifters who’d sell their own mothers’ corpses for one more click or one more donation. These leeches don’t give a fuck about any cause; they just want the rage to keep the money flowing.

These aren’t protesters. They’re subhuman vermin, evolutionary dead-ends who’ve been handed permission to act like the violent, drooling beasts they are, and they’re getting off on every second of it. Inarticulate, violence-junkie rejects who couldn’t spell “injustice” if you tattooed the first five letters on their foreheads and beat them with the rest of the alphabet until it stuck.

I would never pay money for a redbox. if you ask politely and are very very persistent (i.e. annoying) they will let you take it away

here's my dad and i taking it away

luckily there are no shortage of freaks like us who will just take them away on our own volition. we did it all "by the book", too: we set up cones and caution tape, disconnected electricity properly, used an angle grinder to grind down the bolts in the concrete so nobody would trip on them, then cleaned everything up afterward and sealed off the electrical panel so the store would know everything is safe and tidy. though they were hesitant when we were first contacting them, they were honestly very relieved and grateful when we finally took it away, especially once they saw that we "knew what we were doing" (we don't) and look like we've "done this before" (we haven't).

the fun part: the reason why this redbox, in particular, was completely full and unraided is because the computer hardware inside had failed some months before the bankruptcy, and a failing company sure as hell wasn't gonna send a tech out to our podunk dipshit city to fix it, so it was impossible to rent movies or take any discs out. plus, for who knows how long, people were returning old redbox discs to this machine and not taking any out, leading to a much higher variety of movies than your average redbox.

there is a thriving community of redbox hackers and modders out there, as well, creating open-source software for repurposing the machines and not letting their very interesting and robust disc-management hardware go to waste. this one belongs to my brother (who was very annoying persistent and did all the legwork of contacting managers and securing permission) who is a programmer by trade and will be hacking it into a family-access movie library, with whatever discs we want. i mean the machine is completely weatherproof and has a built-in AC unit, it would be such a waste to not try to turn it into something cool.

if we get another one, i'm gonna try to mod it into some sort of art or zine vending machine. the disc boxes are just the right size for small print art or stickers. would make a great "little free library" too.

🧵 THREAD: This #PrideMonth, don’t forget that the fight for queer liberation didn’t start or end with marriage equality.

💪✨ We need to keep fighting for our rights.

Here’s are a few examples:

💋 Before the 2003 Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, same-smex smexual activity was illegal in fourteen U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. military

👶 Before 2015, LGBTQ+ couples couldn’t adopt in all 50 states. Before the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, laws varied wildly by state.

🏳️‍🌈 Before 1973, the American Psychiatric Association listed homosmexuality as a ‘mental illness.’ In December 1973, a vote was successfully held to remove it.

🗳️ Before 1974, there were no openly gay elected officials. That changed with Kathy Kozachenko, who became the first openly gay American elected to public office in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

🎖️ Before 2011, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” banned LGBTQ+ people from serving openly in the military.

💍 Before 2015, LGBTQ+ couples couldn’t get married in all 50 states. At the time, laws varied by state, and while many states allowed for civil unions for same-sex couples, it created a separate but equal standard.
