Just more slop from and tiktok

You didn't blink for six hours. Not once. Just stood there—soaked in sweat, pale as death, pupils like pinholes—ripping through that mountain of filth like the apocalypse was scheduled for dinner rush.

You smelled like metal and burnt toast. Your playlist was just the sound of sprayers and your own breathing. Every plate? Clean enough to do surgery on. Every pan? Shelved like a museum exhibit. Your speed was terrifying. Forks lined up like soldiers. You alphabetized squeeze bottles. You reorganized the Cambros by color.

Nobody spoke to you. We all just watched. In awe. In fear. In reverence.

Whatever you took—Godspeed. Because tonight, you weren't just a dishwasher. You were a force of nature. And if your heart explodes in the alley during smoke break, just know: the kitchen will remember you.

Always.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's unhinged response to Pope Francis' death:

Today there were major shifts in global leaderships.

Evil is being defeated by the hand of God.

It's true.

I like sending this to my liberal American friends because I think readings from their own civil religion have a better chance at radicalizing them than my usual rants.

The (queer) kids are alright.

Recently, I went to a (historically extremely lib and very performative but I repeat myself) LGBT meetup and figured I'd test the waters with this patch from Off Color Decals. I was feeling a little fighty.

All my encounters were comrades. Best comment to summarize the vibe: "I used to worry about gun control a lot, but if the folks on the other side of the protest are armed, I'd much rather have rifles on our side too."

I got to invite a bunch of fresh-out-of-college queers to shooting lessons!

Oh and the guest speaker dropped three "fuck capitalism"s. Some of the oldheads bitched about it online later on, and basically got "Ok Boomer"ed.

I thought I could cause a scene/start an argument, and maybe grab one or two folks. Instead, the vibes may be shifting, and this gives me great hope.
