Peace and Love (or Kevin)

Regarding any tweet I made in the past: My perspective on the issue is more nuanced than represented in the tweet, and has almost certainly changed since it was posted because if I'm alive I'm still learning about new topic(s)/ideas/facts. #Uncancellable #PeaceAndLove #AMA

This installed itself, and I don't like it. (I use Avast, so it definitely wasn't me) Just thought I'd tell y'all, because @mcafee's founder is shady af. Anybody else had this pop up on their Brave browser? cc: @BraveSupport (At least Twitter is still good for this)

@Mitebsyco Oh, or _PeaceAndLove on Discord. I didn't realize it would just send a friend request instead of letting me add a message.

@Mitebsyco Found you on Boo, and because I'm not really on social media, I logged back into a dead account to agree with you 100% about BeyondPod. It was an unbelievably awesome app, and I miss it all the time. You seem cool af, and if you wanna chat, match over there, I guess?

@kaycetta Acknowledging that I'm still growing and learning has kept our communication open and honest.

Apologizing when you're wrong won't cause you to lose the respect of your kids

My @YouTube feed briefly had only thumbnails, no titles or channel names or literally any information at all about the videos. If they implement this, I'm done with YouTube and their deliberate dumbing down of the feed.

@JerryTurin @TheoGregoire @zapatas_mom [citation needed] The person you're saying is wrong produced sources. Where are yours?

@TheoGregoire @zapatas_mom Wrong. Those cheering the assassins get louder but remain tiny in number and radical. They prove their danger &delusions. The shop keepers & all normal people turn on them. This impowers govt to clamp down on the radicals and, in some cases, those they claim to represent.

Can a history nerd tell me what happens after a general population becomes so enraged and outraged against their ruling class that they start cheering for assassins? What comes next?

@NOTGH_Holly She's on the Hallow payroll? I hadn't even heard about her sex scandal yet.

Is there no culture Gwen Stefani won't appropriate??

I hope @3FieldsEnt finds Blue Sky soon. They'd be much happier there.

@BigNickR10 @Canaansdad1987 @erin_VMD I got so excited that I accidentally posted this without checking it, but then I went back, and apparently this was posted originally in 2017. Same doofus, same fight.

6. No more helpless/hopeless talk: - Expanded Rationale: Helplessness leads to apathy, which is the enemy of activism. By rejecting hopeless rhetoric, individuals are empowered to act, even in small ways, which collectively build momentum. Encouraging actionable optimism keeps movements alive and growing, preventing the paralysis that often accompanies despair. 7. Support artists and the arts: - Expanded Rationale: Art has always been a cornerstone of cultural resistance. From protest songs to political cartoons, creative expression has the power to inspire, educate, and unite. Supporting artists ensures these voices remain vibrant and accessible, offering an emotional outlet and a means to communicate complex ideas effectively. 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it: - Expanded Rationale: Disinformation erodes trust and credibility, both of which are essential for effective resistance. Verifying information before sharing ensures the integrity of the movement and prevents opponents from discrediting it as unreliable. Fact-based critiques are harder to dismiss and more likely to resonate with undecided audiences. 9. Take care of yourselves: - Expanded Rationale: Activism is emotionally and physically demanding. Burnout can derail efforts and weaken collective action. Prioritizing self-care ensures sustainability, enabling individuals to contribute effectively over the long term. This includes mental health support, rest, and community-building activities that foster resilience. 10. Resist! - Expanded Rationale: This is the core call to action, emphasizing the need for active, intentional opposition to harmful policies or practices. Resistance can take many forms, from protests and petitions to grassroots organizing and civic engagement. The key is to remain persistent and unified in pushing back against injustice. Assign Actions to "The Republican Administration" or "The Republicans": - Expanded Rationale: Shifting the focus from one individual to the collective party or administration holds all members accountable. This strategy forces legislators to confront their alignment with controversial actions, creating pressure to distance themselves or take a stand. It also deprives the leader of personal attention, reducing the amplification of their persona and reinforcing the importance of systemic critique. Overall Purpose: This strategy combines emotional resilience, strategic communication, and systemic focus to create an effective opposition framework. By avoiding distractions like personal attacks and centering on actionable critiques, the approach fosters unity, credibility, and hope. It aims to empower individuals and communities to resist divisive policies while building a foundation for long-term change. 2/2

Fun fact: CVS (the pharmacy) was allowed to purchase Aetna, (the insurance company) in 2017 despite the obvious conflict of interest. If you're frustrated that there's only two people in your CVS pharmacy, that's why. Government should have stopped it, but didn't.

@amydiehl This has been my experience. It's pretty awesome. bsky.app/profile/peacea…

Bluesky has better safety controls -- block and mute various people, words, and tags, hide individual posts on feeds, and subscribe to curated block lists directly from the platform that blocks users en masse. vox.com/technology/385…

@dlegiontoday @0liviajulianna Talking to people who refuse to listen is a waste of both of our time.

People on the left just witnessed an election where one of the lessons is “meet people where they are” and are now fleeing this app because of Elon. Have we learned nothing!?

@0liviajulianna On the other hand, being on this platform directly contributes to Elon's wealth and allows him to literally influence my voice and impact.

@StckedLibrarian I decided to double check myself before writing an angry reply, so I learned the difference between dissociation and disassociation today. I'm curious if this was the intent. I doubt it, but I hope so. #Vocabulary #Education ezracounseling.com/dissociation-v…

If you were a big reader as a kid, you were disassociating.

That adults were generally smart.

@kyjablue @0liviajulianna Lots of (mostly legal) voter suppression as well. That was pretty effective.

@0liviajulianna They didn’t have to tamper with voting. The massive amount of disinformation that MAGA consumes is astounding. That’s all they needed to do - overwhelm voter with lies. It’s very easy for them to do now.

I now understand how 2020 broke the brains of so many right wingers to become conspiracy nuts because I’m watching people on the left absolutely lose their minds with election conspiracies. The election wasn’t stolen. We lost. You sound insane. Stop it!

Thanks, @PhillyD for shouting out one of my homies here in Texas. youtu.be/fpfm6behn6E&t=…

@zaidtmusic You ended your video saying to "Clown them", and I did a stand up set that included dunking on Elon on election night, so I feel like I'm doing my part. (If you want, I can send you the link. Building up a full year's worth before I launch social media)
