  • disillusioned Bernie bro here lol lol loool . I was younger than you are, now. I was a construction worker in an airport. no trees, just hot, wet, blistering concrete jungle. hearts die fast there. Two, three hundred men. Boys really. work n sleep, until the only thing i could remember was work n sleep.

    Then one day, i started to itch. all at once, i could feel my skin coming alive.

    It was the hexbear. They had a leak. You could feel it before you could smell it… .world panicked and ran away, but… it was new to me!

    That… itch, that burn… You feel how badly she wants to explode.

    Look at us. Unloved, hunted, bannin fodder, we’ll all be defedded before the revolution n yet… here we are.

    We’re the triad, kid! we’re the thing that explodes when there’s too much PPB in the air! Let it in! That’s freedom calling! Let it in, let it run! Let it run wild!




  • Description: Eye squinting happens when the eyelids are compressed together serving to constrict the eyes. It can sometimes occur in just a fraction of a second before disappearing.

    In One Sentence: Narrowing the eyes is due to physical or emotional pain.

    How To Use it: When you do not like what is being said or seen, simply narrow your eyes. This tells others that you do not like what you are seeing or hearing. You may perform this eye language in brief within just fractions of a seconds. While people may not consciously perceive the signal, it will likely still register subconsciously. If the person for whom the cue is intended, notices, they may revisit their proposal and add additional incentives to ease your negative judgment.

    Context: General.

    Verbal Translation: “What I’m seeing is causing me emotional or physical pain and to prevent all that negativity from coming into my body I’m going to squint and block to resist.”

    Variant: See Anger Facial Expression, Hand To Eye Gesture.

    Cue In Action: a) A person will wince when reading objectionable portions of a contract. b) She winced when the student missed the correct note on the piano. It caused her visceral pain.

    Meaning and/or Motivation: An eye blocking form of body language designed to prohibit distasteful images or even thoughts from being received at full view. Narrowing eyes indicates contempt, distaste and anger. A person will not only squint from seeing objectionable sights, but also negative thoughts or sounds.

    Wincing falls into the category of microexpressions since it can happen in only fractions of a second before disappearing, yet it remains full of meaning.



  • the bugs are gone. living in the suburbs of the midwest, once the summer heat died youd wanna go out and enjoy the nice evening, but if you didn’t have bug spray the mosquitoes would absolutely murder ya. so we would slap on the ‘off deep woods’ and light a citronella and enjoy the lightning bugs. so many, like stars all around, trying to hold a convo over the loud-ass crickets. guardin your can so a bug wouldn’t fly in. if you drank a soda, there’d always be some damn bee hasslin the mouth of the can

    by the busy side of a highway, the buzzin and chattering of bugs was a cacophany of life. those gas station scrub stations (the ones that are always dry now) were absolutely vital as the windshield would get covered in bug guts. id stop by just for that often, even when i didn’t need gas.

    now just 30 years later, i can have a beer or two in the evening, chill outside a couple hours and get bitten maybe once or twice.

    it doesn’t matter so much how the stations buckets are dry, my own sprayer n wipers is enough. the lightning bugs are few. crickets are few. the sides of the road are silent.












  • Trump announced that he was lifting U.S. sanctions and called al-Sharaa “attractive” and “pretty amazing.” Those probably aren’t the words Netanyahu would use.

    <insert> :jesusmeme:

    isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?

    this whole fuckin piece reads like this, like it was written by an Israeli head-of-state or AIPAC. fucking skin crawling read.

    if you were came here hoping to see actual cracks? save yourself the trouble and answer cuz no. there are no “cracks” in the alliance, there will be no brakes applied to Israel’s genocidal actions.

    pearls were clutched because trump was ‘in the area’ and ‘didn’t stop by’. The consent-manufacturing machine surrounding the genocide and the US-Israel “alliance” complains about anything short of the most fawning deference.
