Aight, despite feeling like kitty litter unevenly heated in a microwave I need to share links to the four pieces I cleaned up and expanded on over on NIDC, because a lot of my readers are smart enough to avoid weekend Fedi like the plague.
If you've already seen the posts I'm about to link to, please just ignore these and don't take offense; I'm a one woman operation here, I don't monetize my work, and my "advertising" consists of social media shares and reader word of mouth so I gotta do this.
On my experiences with Long Covid, the reasons behind the conspiracy of silence, and why capitalists will give a lot more people Long Covid unless we start making them feel the pain:
Fuel for the Pyre
https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2024/08/23/journal-fuel-for-the-pyre/
"if your plan is to “let ‘er rip” while telling folks a deadly virus is no different from a common cold, the very existence of people who did not and could not recover from the after effects of that virus would represent a highly inconvenient counter to your propaganda."
On the evidence that JD Vance is literally and overtly a fascist, and why it's long past time our media class and larger establishment started saying so out loud:
The People and Ideas JD Vance Applauds
https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2024/08/24/nina-bytes-the-people-and-ideas-jd-vance-applauds/
"If supporting all of the monstrous bullshit we’ve talked about in this blog doesn’t make Vance a fascist, then we should just do away with the word entirely because it would no longer have any meaning."
On why the effort to erase history and transform education into a functional arm of the police state is about indoctrination for a dark future:
Indoctrinating A Dystopian Future
https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2024/08/25/nina-bytes-indoctrinating-a-dystopian-future/
"There is of course a reason for that, and that reason is indoctrination; if you can control what the next generation of people think about, and even more importantly how they think about it, you can also to a great degree control how they feel, and how they act in society at large."
On why this year's DNC was not a celebration of unity, and the 2024 Dem Party platform is a heartbreaking and infuriating surrender to the fascist American right:
Falling Backwards Into History
https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2024/08/25/falling-backwards-into-history/
"This convention was no triumph; it was a surrender to the reactionary right on so many levels it made my heart hurt, and dashed my (already quite low) expectations for a likely Kamala Harris presidency before that hypothetical administration even exists."
@rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.socialOn the plus side, they aren't gonna place us in death camps for disagreeing with them. The cup can be 1/24th full.
@rjblaskiewicz Naw, just prison tho right?
@rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.socialDepends on how that dissent is expressed, I suppose.
@rjblaskiewicz I'm not gonna spend the next hour producing evidence that the American police state is repressing protestors for constitutionally protected behavior even while and where Democrats are in power; you've got a search engine and you can watch the news like everyone else.
All you're doing here is telling on yourself.
@rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.socialDon't worry, I'm not asking you to.
