“I wish I wasn’t a Victorian invalid”

Text I got from my guy friend who’s currently dating a man for the first time when I asked him how it’s going

Long Live the Black Parade was incredible and I've made 6 new stickers which will be available soon. 🤘

[Image: a digital painting of Gilly, Franny, and Nico, from Get Fatter Now, each sitting in their own wonky little cart modelled after their car. They are all colourful aliens made from simple shapes. Gilly is green, with short black hair and two large conical “horns”, looking alarmed at the speed of the cart; Nico is blue, with darker blue dreads and spherical “horns” that look similar to a bear’s ears, and looking worriedly towards Franny; Franny is pink, with curly blonde hair in pigtails and long, S-shaped “horns” that look almost like antennae, with a playful expression on her face and overly long sleeves that cover her hands. Their designs each have a shape motif: a triangle, circle, and diamond, respectively. They’re rendered backlit with smooth shading, and the background is bright and abstract. End ID.]

Also... it is funny. Except for the poor ducks, it's funny. Man lost a war to algae. His "American Flag Blue" is green and slimy and the paint is peeling off, and all before his big 4th of July show that no musicians want to play. It's funny. Point and laugh. That is fighting fascism, actually.

Any public slight, no matter now petty, no matter now little it matters to everyone else, gets under his skin like those screwworms he accidentally let Musk reintroduce to Texas (causing the government to call a state of emergency as it's trashing their beef industry).

And that's why we're riding that fucker so hard. This is what's under the power fantasy. Deep down, he's just pathetic. And that's what Mel Brooks understood with Springtime for Hitler. You don't fight the Nazis by making them big bad scary evil guys. You fight the Nazis (when actual weapons aren't a present option) by making them a laughingstock. There is no way to derive a power fantasy from being the object of derision.

Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.

It takes an extra step in our part, but this is part of what makes it effective. It's not one click, one reblog activism and it hits them where they care: their damn KPIs.

why did no one tell me that the full context of “Sasuke snapped back. ‘Anyway, what’s Gay Pride Day? What are they proud of?” was so fucking funny
