And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it’s 4am so you definitely won’t be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•New Army Shaving Policy Will Allow Soldiers with Skin Condition that Affects Mostly Black Men to Be Kicked OutEnglish34·2 days agoBack in basic, almost every black person in my division got what was called a “shave chit” which was basically just a piece of paper saying “this recruit doesn’t have to shave every morning for medical reasons”
And having seen them try in the first week or so to shave with everyone else, yeah. Fuck shaving every day anyway, but why would you purposely force someone to essentially slice their face off little by little wherever hair grows???
Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.
I’m too old for this shit, just don’t wake me up.
Luigi x Toad romcom fanfics are art thank you very much.

I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.
And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”
Yes masters, we should all die quietly.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia at immigration court. His family is suingEnglish122·4 days agoThis is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.
In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.
Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that’s what’s happening. I’m sure they’d prefer to frame it as “making sure our community doesn’t get taken down by The Man”

Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.
