as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.
why 1949 and where?
fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .
the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.
it’s everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it’s strongest in africa
I loved that show because I identified w jimmy as someone whose ambitions/aspirations where openly thwarted by those he cared about and was devoted to but kept the open secret from him. I hated chuck because it was clear he was acting on a desire for familial revenge; but then the writers in the last season made it clear that Jimmy is always in the wrong so now I just have ambivalent feelings about a show I loved and then deeply hated in the last 3 episodes
Israeli intelligence knew and did nothing at the behest of their masters
We’re not stupid. We’re scared.
too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).
Winn is the sort of evil you meet on the subway, everyone knows one or two of her, and that hits harder
i wonder if that’s what inspired her for this role.
she was brilliant in ds9 and then she literally made me yell at the screen in anger when she played grandma gallagher in shameless.
and then i watched big sky and she touched my heart as the all-seeing/all-caring small town school teacher; fletcher was incredible.
execution
it’s wild that enterprise is the only series left out of the promotional material. lol
but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don’t do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can’t find any pirating stuff to share.
My own back spasms were similar; but I’ve had them enough times that I’ve learned ways to manage the pain enough to finish a thought other than “ouch”
I’ve been able to reduce the frequency of occurrence by experimenting w my sleeping and exercise habits and learned that pregnancy pillows are worth their weight in gold for me; maybe they’ll help you?
“There are many Middle East countries who do not tolerate homosexuals, they actually hang and execute homosexuals,” she said, according to Reuters news agency.
“In the US many states have passed laws that are either against or restrict activities of homosexuality… so why pick on Uganda?”
because they have more money than you.
Tell me you’re a white middle- or upper-class male without telling me…
also straight and clueless. lol
i had the same thought: NPR did a story on alaskan pipelayers & plumbers that were starting to experience the effects of climate change on the soil about 15-is years ago and then revisited them again about 5-ish years ago. in the first set of interviews from 15 years ago, a big majority refused to attribute the issues that they were experiencing to climate change and in the second set 5 years ago, they nearly unanimously refused to attribute the issues to climate change.
climate change is now politics and any and all politics will be denied if you want it bad enough
this why i’m skeptical of reports that people will stop voting republican in the united states. primarily because it’s been said before but also because climate change makes like harder and history has proven that whenever life gets tough; people become more xenophobic/racist/etc.
since making the fediverse my new home; i learned that i spend an hour (maybe 2 max) before i run out of content and i can spend 4+ hours without noticing while scrolling reddit even though i no longer have an account there and can’t participate in any conversations anymore.
make your billions by buying lots of small, but super profitable investments.
