#everythingispolitical — Public Fediverse posts

Today’s #ThursdayFiveList is #ColorfulPictures (we’ll let the spelling slide). Songs about drawing, painting, visual arts or about a colour/ colours.

As today (in UK) we have the #GortonAndDenton by-election happening, I thought I’d simply go for one colour: #Green!

A Hack is Not Enough

> There is a tendency, especially among technically competent people, to use the ability to work around a requirement as an excuse to avoid dealing with it.

Hypothesis:
The US Religious right is putting the kibosh on NASA's mars missions, because they don't like NASA having maybe found signs of life on mars.

Specifically signs of chemosynthesis in sedimentary rocks.

I went to the Edinburgh Jazz Festival's carnival. I haven't been for several years. It was even more fun than I expected! And the sun came out.

Lots of exotic costumes from all around the world. It was wonderfully inclusive - just great to see people from so many nations getting on, supporting each other and just having fun. Everyone was smiling!

I took lots of pictures with my camera, and these with my phone.

#politics as a concept is never not dangerous. It didn't just start to be this year or the last. If it did to you, you might google "solidarity" and check your #privileges

I like some good craftivism.

Since apparently it needs repeating:

Yes, capitalism is boiling the planet. Yes, it's capitalism and not some special, uniquely corrupted system that's somehow distinct from Real Pure Equitable Regulatable Non-Toxic Capitalism(TM). Yes, capitalism may have changed and gotten worse lately, but that doesn't mean its earlier iterations were at all redeemable. They all contributed to getting us to this planet-boiling point.

Stop defending the system that's killing millions and incubating multiple infectious diseases rather than disturb business as usual. Stop letting your friends defend it. Capitalism is biocide. Capitalism is death. Abbey was right: capitalism is the ideology of a cancer cell.

ONE HATH BLOGGED

The statements in this blogpost are me, noticing what beliefs I think I hold.

What do you call someone who stands by these?

This is your semi-regular reminder that everything humans do/say/think/make either influences or is influenced by how we all choose to live in this world together; therefore, *EVERYTHING* IS POLITICAL.

I will not be taking questions at this time. 😘

As an author, I‘be joined a lot of Facebook groups – for readers and for writers.

One of the readers groups is currently blowing up with the idea that ‘AUTHORS SHOULDN’T BRING POLITICS INTO THEIR WRITING!’

And, boy, do I have news for them.

#EverythingIsPolitical #ItsAllPolitics

Hello, supposedly communist / socialist Tooters - how about alt-texting those "revolutionary" pictures you're posting?

Because if you're excluding visually-impaired workers THEN YOU'RE NOT FUCKING COMMUNISTS, ARE YOU?

fuck me, get a grip and stop with the fucking ableism.

Can we make #ukraine win #esc until they can host it themselves again please? #everythingispolitical #eurovision #eurovision23

@Heliograph @jakecoppinger indeed, I feel like one or two surprises from the Gladys era are left to be unveiled

It's just quite rare to have anything but functionalism, particularly in public transport

But universally in America, where I fear the car lobby even extends its influence into making bus windows smaller, paint schemes blacker, general atmospheres grittier

It's one unbroken line from racism to "white flight" #everythingispolitical

@mlepage I forgot to ask you to clarify:

Is the "minimum $35" a kind of policy that prevents you from reaching zero?

If so there's doubtless a fruitful discussion about the nature and effectiveness of cross-subsidy, and encouraging transitions to accelerate beyond their natural pace

Aaaaand quickly coming up the rear is an associated discussion on the necessity and effectiveness of Redistribution of Wealth and the duty of public utilities (looking at you, banking sector)

#everythingispolitical and never more so when the big thumb of the mining industry extracts enough (extra) money, from every customer, to pay for everything we need to transition to renewables

@thetitanborn Someone once said, “If you don’t do politics, politics does you.” #voter #politics #EverythingIsPolitical

ZATTY SAID: please f(…) off with your unsolicited and unCW'ed politics in my mentions. You sound like a conspiracy theorist of the bad kind jumping in and presenting your views like that with a s(…)load of political hashtags.

@zatnosk
What is this in relation to, Man O' War? We can't see anything with you tagged from us. Please explain what toot it was that hurt you.

Regardless, anything can be #political. As a #ManOWar can you not have a #WarOfWords?
