So yeah, I just saw that 7 planets will align towards the end of the winter, and my band is gonna try and book a special show for that where we can drone out behind someone leading a ritual of some sort. I don't really know many people IRL, much less anyone that would be fit to do something proper for this, so wanted to reach out here.

So I guess yeah, if you think you fit the bill here, get at me! This would be around the end of February

Literally cannot fathom how he got away with something so corny. If anyone did this today they would get laughed out of the movement. How did he pull it off?

can't describe my request any better than this. sorrry if it's too vague. books that dismantle your liberal understanding of the world. can be a historical work of fiction, doesn't really matter. just something that'll leave a mark on you ig

just remember once reading an account of the liberation of a nazi concetration camp, not going to talk about the details, but just imagine the most horrific shit you can imagine and it's a hundred times worse than that. want to read books that have that kind of visceral feel

I became conscious while walking through LAX airport holding my moms hand as we approached a strange smiling man with an afro and handle bar mustache (turns out it was my father)

These people have to be faking it. No way chopping my neck with their hand is fixing anything. Just stupid human brain placebo at the little popping noise(s).

We should honestly burn these people on crosses for the pure heresy they excrete. Fucking tricksters. Honestly could sympathise sooner with a mass murderer than a chiroprater. Freaks. Total freaks man

Lately I am having a hard time getting any of the 3rd party front ends for social medias to work properly. Is it just me?

The site doesnt load, it can't find the media, etc. Sometimes I can get one item to load but then can t get another on same instance.

Twitter, reddit, YouTube mainly but sometimes I want to see something on tiktok or Instagram.

I use libredirect/Firefox on desktop and as a last resort on mobile. I regularly re-ping the instances list although it doesnt seem to reflect which ones actually work. On mobile I prefer newpipe or another app if available.

Not sure if VPN is getting in the way, or adblocking on mobile etc. Sometimes turning it off helps but other times it does not.

Obviously it is not theory but as a piece of dystopian fiction what do y'all think of it. Is it as overtly propagandist as Orwell's works?

Edit: I'd also love to hear opinions on Grapes of Wrath which I did not read in 8th grade. Really I'd love to hear about Steinback in general, my great grandfather knew him in highschool (or so my grandmother claims)

Obviously, police and military monopoly of power is last resort.

What do, though?
