Also part of the rebellion of punk was looking unashamedly poor. In the 60s and 70s calling someone “tidy” or “neatly dressed” was a genuine compliment. Untidiness defined the counter cultures of this time and looking clean cut was considered essential for mainstream beauty. So in the 70s and 80s when punks started looking sloppy, looking poor, wearing old battered clothes that were ripped and held together with patches and safety pins, this was rebellion against the middle/upper class ideal that everyone must emulate the tidiness of wealth. 

You know what? This actually isn’t funny at all because this really does happen. Baby boomers can’t afford to retire; that’s a big part of why millennials can’t find jobs in their fields. And if they lose their jobs (which can mean a variety of things, including their companies finding an excuse to fire them so they don’t have to pay anything for their retirement, which happened to my uncle and 5 people he worked with over one year), they aren’t as desirable because they’re retirement-age. The world has changed a lot since they got jobs they thought were supposed to be secure, and now their old strategies that used to work for finding a job don’t work anymore and they don’t know what does work. So a lot are desperate; I recently talked to a woman who had to be in at least her mid-60s who was begging on a street corner because she was replaced by a younger person and lost her job of 18 years, and it’s not the first time I’ve heard a story like that. A lot of people who were never rich to begin with lost a lot in the 2008 financial crisis and never fully recovered. Baby boomers didn’t all just magically become financially secure as they got older.

Actually I have anxiety, claustrophobia, sensory issues, & severe asthma, yet I still wear at least one if not two masks in public.

I called this hotline TODAY, about an hour ago. The person I spoke to was VERY HELPFUL. There are MANY OPTIONS at your disposal for resisting orders, even if they try to tell you they are lawful!

I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed …

As someone who has actually served and knows what the fuck she’s talking about, unlike people who wanna parrot an oath they clearly know fuck-all about, it is also pretty fucking clearly stated in the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and the Manual for Courts Martial that being ordered to mobilize against *and potentially kill* (because, brutal and nasty truth, that’s exactly what 45 is looking for) their own unarmed countrymen is an example of an unlawful order. 

It was hard to read in the screenshot so I found it and blew it up:

Okay this is absolutely terrible BUT there is one way you can stop. the bill has gone back to the house and nancy pelosi, head of the house, can put back and support the  Wyden/Daines amendment that prevents the Trump admin from spying on your Internet activity without a warrant. but YOU HAVE TO CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL THEM TO SUPPORT THE WYDEN/DAINES AMENDMENT .
