Hey! That Bug is Dancing … !

By my doges that love gravy, this is perfectly spot on. The only issue is that by Russia, the creator means both the USSR that was then ruled by Russia and what Putin is trying hard to recreate today.


Side note.  I am very sore and torn up.  The last few days I had a bug / light flu.  I have been sick to my stomach, very tired, diarrhea, and lots more pain.  But today I felt better, woke up a little before 2 AM, snuggled Ron for an hour, got up and started my day.  But I spent about 4.5 hours doing dishes while helping Ron understand / find stuff for my new office. Sadly by 5 PM I couldn’t stand upright and lost the ability to walk more than a few steps unsupported.  

After eating the wonderful supper Ron made of burgers with all the fixings including he made sautéed mushrooms and a cheese sauce, I am finishing this up and going to bed. Because I am struggling to walk, Ron fixed my food and delivered to me, and took everything away after.  He has been very attentive once he realized how much I pushed myself and how bad I was.  Ron has already said he will help me to the bedroom and getting into bed, but he has warned me I can not delay much longer, as he doesn’t want to hear me crying tonight in bed.   Night to all and hugs   

Demonstrators stood outside Austin high school with anti-LGBTQ, abortion messages

What a way to entice young people to come to your church or endorse your religion by screaming hate and angry virtual at them.  What a great way to save souls.  What this really is meant to show what they think is their superior morals and showcase their bigotry / hate.  It is driven by right wing media anti-LGBTQIA propaganda.  It is fueled by conservative preachers that can not adjust to the modern age, preferring a time when only cis straight people who dressed more modestly were in public and young people deferred to adults as a normal practice.  Hugs


AUSTIN (KXAN) — As students were released from McCallum High School Tuesday afternoon, the district confirms roughly eight people stood outside with anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion signs.

“The protesters were on the sidewalk but were blocking the buses, so they were asked to move,” a spokesperson for AISD said. “Austin ISD Police officers were on-site to ensure everyone’s safety, and the protesters left after about an hour.”

KXAN does not share photos or videos of possible hate speech as standard practice, which is why we have not included photos in this story and blurred signs in the video above.

“Instead we need to be standing up and saying that everyone belongs, and this is a community for everyone,” said Council Member Alison Alter of District 10.

In July, Alter officially helped launch an anti-hate campaign called “We All Belong.” The program came about after a series of hate speech incidents and a hate crime in which Alter’s synagogue — Congregation Beth Israel — was lit on fire in 2021.

Alter said the goal is twofold: One, to make reporting a hate crime easier and two, to connect people with resources and support.

“{The We All Belong website} tells you when to call 911, when to use IReport,” Alter said. “Not every hate crime or hate incident is the same, but people do need to report.”

You can also partner with the city to host a pop-up event through the program. The city will provide materials and messaging for the event. You can apply to host an event here. Some funding is available.

“Take action in the form of having those hard community conversations or creating a space where people can come together and celebrate,” Alter said. She continued: “Fight hate with love, fight hate with light.”

The district said school counselors will be on standby for students at McCallum upset about the Tuesday incident.

Man Who Charged BLM Protesters Wearing Glove With Serrated Blades Guilty On 9 Attempted Murder Counts

The goal for these gang thugs is to make everyone afraid to protest the abuses, to make the treat of violence and harm so great people stop putting up supportive signs or speaking out.  And it has worked in a lot of cases, with venues cancelling events.  Horrible way the country is going.  Hugs

Proud Boys Menace Tennessee Anti-Gun Prayer Vigil, Activists Removed From Hearing For Holding Signs

And of course the Proud Boys which are gang thugs carried guns and got to stay while grieving parents holding small signs got removed.  The police stood by and let the gang thugs harass women and anti-gun people.   Well it has come out that a large number of the police are white supremacist bigot gang thugs themselves.  Birds of a feather type thing.  The country is fast becoming over run by authoritarian cops and fascist politicians that are backed up by gang thugs.  Welcome to the fall of the US democracy.  Hugs

Gender Affirming Care Is Evil Except When It’s Not

Thanks to Ali for the link.   This cartoon really says it all.   Please go to the link above and read the two few paragraphs that fill in the cartoon’s backstory.  It is important.  I am going to post the cartoon so you get a taste of it, but the two short stories of how the same care is approached when a young person is cis vs when they are trans.   Hugs

Homocons And Armed Nazis Menace WI Pride Event

Compare the actions of the pride attendees and the Nazi thugs.  The pride people were having fun, smiling, laughing, dancing, singing.  The Nazis were screaming threats while brandishing weapons, scaring the kids and others attending the event.   Which one was presenting what was good for children to see, angry face covered armed shouting men or dancing happy singing pride people?  Also these thugs claimed that masks kept them from breathing when it was necessary due to a public health threat now wear them to hide their identity so they don’t get fired for what they are doing.  Notice in one of the tweets, one of the men loaded a round in the chamber to threaten reporters on a public street.  These are the thugs that DeathSantis hires as staff and refuses to denounce.  These are the people that trump claimed were very good people on both sides.   Hugs.


Newsweek reports:

An armed Neo-Nazi group protested a Pride in the Park event in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday afternoon that featured a drag story time and drag shows.

Video journalist Oliya Scootercaster took to Twitter on Saturday to document the protest and wrote, “BLOOD TRIBE group marching in Watertown Wisconsin protesting Pride in the park.” In her videos, one Neo-Nazi group member can be seen carrying a weapon.

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Blood Tribe is described as “a neo-Nazi group with semi-autonomous chapters in the United States and Canada. Blood Tribe promotes hardline white supremacist views and openly directs its vitriol at Jews, ‘non-whites’ and the LGBTQ+ community.”

Read the full article.

 

The proud people are the ones not concealing their faces.

The others are coward losers.

Fortunately, Harrisburg’s Pride had no visible Nazis on Saturday. Just the usual Truly Religious…not there to heckle or incite, of course, just concerned about our souls. They’re just so fucking thoughty, bless their hearts.

Pride organizers must be ready with videographers to document these protests. And news outlets must show videos making the public aware.

Eventually this menacing won’t be enough for these haters.

It’s just a matter of time before one of these Nazis pulls the trigger.

To be followed by a deafening ‘look what you made him do’ from the media.

 

P.S. Sometimes I listen to those right wing talkers on the radio (talk about a soul killing experience). The outrageous and inflammatory venom directed at Transfolks (and those who support them) is going to egg on someone to do violence and they know it.

They know it, they make money off it. And they will make money off of the result of their stochastic terrorism as will their MSM peers. They will make even more money as they squeal about how unfairly they are being portrayed and they cycle continues. Stay safe, my dear.
