Salvaged from Mount Buxton, Calvert Island, British Columbia, in the spring of 1964, after having been there since it crashed there on August 20, 1942. The OS2U was rebuilt by the members of the Vought Aeronautics' quarter century club."

weed being illegal despite alleviating so many of my Symptoms of my Illnesses is sooooooooooo ableist and homophobic actually

#i'm kidding but i'm not #my muscular twitch has calmed down since my edible kicked in. that's god.#(took an edible bc i'm skipping my middle class bc fuck it actually)#my edibles are thc delta 8 which is legal in north carolina but the fact that ANY weed is illegal ANYWHERE honestly bewilders me #but i also think that drugs should be entirely decriminalized so maybe i should calm my commie ass down #mer rambles

[You got to come meet this cat. Amazing. So since we're all about pork, though class supremacy can rest only on class degradation on the East Coast. We love coming to North Carolina.]

i am genuinely so fascinated by sororities.

#like what is going on in the south. i mean my family is from the south but theyre still normal. maybe it's the fact that theyre middle class #and this is just some rich people bullshit #but like the whole instagram ultra put together monogrammed everything #culture. like that seems to be specific to the south? like isn't caitlin covington from north carolina? and i feel like those sororities ar #always big southern universities #like ive toured them theyre crazy #i'm just. so fascinated by what the deal is with that

Earlier this year, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled partisan gerrymandering to be legal, overturning a long-standing ban on the anti-democratic process. This is all part of the empire-wide Republican suppression of democratic rights; the attack on bodily autonomy is merely one front of the right-fascist war on the crumbling center. Feckless and spineless Democrat leadership, in the form of the walking corpse propped up to give speeches and eat ice cream at the White House, has categorically refused to take meaningful action to protect bodily autonomy. Control over the U.S. imperial government is often bandied about like a kind of game between the various factions of the capitalist ruling class. They scheme and plot to snatch the flag of victory, and it has been the perennial Democratic strategy to attempt to do this in the face of overwhelming defeat. The tired line within the Democratic Party has it that they do best when they are confronted with the annihilation of democratic rights. Since the election of F.D.R. at the end of the 1920s, the Democrats have tried to replicate the powerful class-collaborationism of the proto-fascist New Dealers. How do they do that? By building up the right-fascist danger as much as they can. Now, the Biden cronies are counting on the administration’s own failure to prevent the rapid rollback of political and social rights to carry them to victory in the 2024 presidential election.

…Indeed, Cooper did what Biden and the White House ghouls would not dream of: as soon as Roe was overturned, he signed an executive order into law to guarantee abortion protections in his state. Knowing that he cannot win in the halls of power where his opponents possess the silver-bullet override, Cooper has turned to the real source of power: the people. Unlike the run-of-the-mill elected officials in the Empire, Cooper has spent the last week going from rally to rally to raise local opposition to the oppressive bill. He, at least, has realized the limits of Democratic strategy.

linguistics teacher gave feedback on my presentation and it’s stuff i can’t fix and am embarrassed to have wrong in the first place and knew was going to be an issue but chose to push past and now here we are

#i just don’t have enough fucking data like at all #‘surely the results weren’t all integers. why aren’t there any fractions?’ well you see. it’s because i had 14 recordings and two listeners #the moment my teacher shifts to understand that each data point is exactly what i collected as opposed to an average of what i have….#but it’s fine. it’s fine. in other news guess who dreamed about the spreadsheet i was working on last night #okay how do i say this in a normal way though….#‘hey joe - thanks for the feedback. i had a lot fewer listeners than speakers #so a lot of the numbers are based on one listener each. it’s the main flaw concern with my data but makes for very round numbers’#perhaps. is maybe the only way to say it without just sounding fucking evil about it #anyway i’m cold and tired and i don’t want to go to class…. and i don’t have linguistics today so that part will be an email #my eyes hurt so bad i want to go back to sleep but this is second to last day of class this whole semester #so it’s kind of important that i at least try to participate #also does anyone have links to an npr story about a fading north carolina accent cause i know it exists but i don’t remember where #and my teacher always wants me to cite it but i can’t find it #that sounds worse than it is. my teacher picked out this article for me to use and then i can never track it down when i need it but i can’#complain that there aren’t any sources i can use cause he so clearly described this one to me i just can’t find it. i didn’t invent a sourc #anyways…. i’m cold and tired and honestly plenty annoyed and i want to go back to sleep….#but i will persevere i guess. a little over a week before i can just be free of all these classes #i’m tired when i wake up when i’m opening my eyes when i’m not feeling low i get tired out by the highs (/ly)#my eyes hurt and it’s cold outside the blanket and i have a stomachache and i feel strange. but i will persevere #okay. today i have two classes then i come home have a good call and work on the presentation in question. and perhaps go to a cocoa event #wednesday i have three classes including the actual presenting part of my presentation. and MAYBE a car seat headrest moment at my partner’s #but that’s just wishful thinking on my part and has not been discussed. car seat headrest moment = sleeping together in the literal sense #(it started out ironically on his part and now that’s just how i call it shdhdf)#and anyway then thursday morning either way we go and get breakfast early at like 8:45 and then by 10am i’m at a bus stop about to go home #for a MONTH AND A HALF. and there will still be assignments due in the meantime but so much less. and i’ll sleep a lot more at night i hope #anyways i’m going to be late to latin cause there’s nothing motivating me to pull up. but it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine #idk. i hope everyone is doing well and i’ll be back in a couple hours. i’m just not feeling well #me. my post. mine.#delete later

sometimes i think about how pazuzu was my highs school english teacher’s neighbor before he was arrested 🧍🏽‍♀️

#hdmiports #and she just dropped this like it was very normal in the middle of class one day #apparently one time she was in her car getting ready to leave and he just walked up to her window and stared at her for a few minutes before #leaving ??#pazuzu is the most insane thing to have ever happened in north carolina

School gun report for the week of 11/12/23-11/18/23: Michigan to bring back hunting classes edition

11/12/23: Headline: Bill could add gun safety, hunting course to Michigan schools FTA: “Our hunting ranks are shrinking,” she said. “We’re not doing a good enough job getting new kids in to replace the people who are aging out of the hunting activities. So this is a great way to really recruit and retain individuals.” I don’t know about you, but that sounds a lot like indoctrination to…
