#so you know who and what Citibank is now. fucking Citibank

[prettyhighforawhiteguyblog]

You know why we are taught to despise the French?

and poo poo their military prowess? Even though they are lovely people & have historically been glorious, brave, and victorious on the battlefield?

And were our partner in our own revolution?

It is because they killed their masters.

And they hold their police in check.

And protest for everything. And chase their police away. And get what they want. And have a pretty nice life.

They had a violent, coordinated people's revolution. Actually several. They kept trying and dying till one finally succeeded. They put the Aristocrats to death.

All the Aristocrats. Not just the bad ones. All of them. Even Marie Antoinette who was just a spoiled princess who quipped a stupid joke that got turned into revolutionary propaganda. She got disposal as well. Some people are just too dangerous to let live.

Because Aristocrats have babies! And those babies will network and rebuild Aristocracy and no Aristocracy may be allowed to exist if the people are to thrive.

That's why. Our Aristocrats don't want us getting Frenchy ideas.

Maybe we should.

DIVEST FROM BANKS FOR PALESTINE

.....Correct me if I'm wrong but allies to Israel would have no money to move around and spend if we and banks have no money to move around for them right?

Even the US treasury needs a way to offer collateral for the billions they give to countries like Israel. Do you know what that collateral has been thus far? Your paycheck. The future paychecks of babies that can't even talk yet. That's how they'll pay all this off.

The government has been giving us the biggest fuck you that they could. Let's return the favor.

"yeah but the banks-"

Have been bailed out every time they've asked for it since I've been alive. They love debt when they aren't the ones paying it. They'll know how heavy the weight of their arms dealing is. There's a reason they have been phasing out paper checks and money- they can't move money they don't have and digital bank accounts can't see the paper money in your drawer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So yes absolutely keep boycotting.

And we should pull all our money out of Major Banks.

It's incredibly accessible for most people who already have a bank account, even if you can't protest or strike. And you don't have to miss any work.

So let's hit em where it hurts.

Banks (from this list of Banks that heavily fw Israel)

Citibank

Bank Julius Baer & Co

Bank Lombard Odier & Co

Banque Pictet & Cia SA

BNP Paribas Israel

CBH Compagnie Bancaire Helvetique S.A.

Dreyfus Sons & Co.

Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneve SA

JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.

Silicon Valley Bank

Union Bancaire Privee

HSBC

Barclays

BNP Paribas Israel

State Bank of India

Other banks that have supported the genocide

Goldman Sachs

Bank of America

Wells Fargo

Blackrock

AXA

Capital One

RBS

Marks & Spencer

Tesco

Scotia Bank

Bank of Montreal

No, you don't have to cancel your direct deposits (most places in the USA won't even pay you without an account anyway). But you should drain your account ASAP. Don't let the money sit in your bank. Pull it out and use cash for everything you can. Don't put money in the bank unless you need to.

The point is just to keep as much money as you can out of banks for as long as you can.

Yeah it's gonna be harder to order online which may be inconvenient until we readjust but thats good.

It'll be a natural way for the boycotts to evolve.

A lot of fighting in the Red Sea is being done because of how much money the USA, UK, etc have to lose if they can't get their products on time. The Houthis turning ships away cost these countries millions every time. If there are less ships to turn away cuz people aren't ordering stuff from overseas then Good.

Yeah we could have an organized day to do this but...why??? It's accessible, it's free, and the people across the globe experiencing a genocide right now, from north America to Africa to Palestine don't have the luxury of waiting a few months for us to spread the word and organize.

If you see this share it. Copy/paste, repost, retweet, idc. Spread like wildfire pls

Actually if I was an elder queer and had to watch

1.) all of my interesting lovely eccentric SEXUAL queer friends die because the government didn't care and

2.) my community regularly being censored, subjected to purity culture, and shamed

only for young queers down the line to try to get rid of proud kink at Pride because it's "unclean" or "unsafe for minors" or "will make the straights think we're bad" I'd start breaking shit and becoming so bitter. Imagine all of the rights you fought tooth and nail for get flushed down the drain because baby gays prioritize being palatable to society. You are not doing anyone a favor. These are people who gave everything to be able to express themselves for one day openly and proudly around other community members. You are not going to take that away for a Citibank sponsorship and the illusion of minor safety. My first experience at Pride was going back when I was 15 and getting hugged by gay men in pup masks because we were all just so happy to be there and meet other people like us. They're the same men who comforted me when I cried from the anti-abortion and anti-gay protestors at the parade. Because they've done this before and know just what to say to make it better. They've walked the mile and did their time and they KNOW better than you. I'm sorry but they do! This is their fucking life! We who have the discourse are just now really learning about it and flowering into adult queers. We cannot sanitize our colorful, wonderful history. Because the people who were alive to see it won't be around for much longer. Folks who were young during times of liberation and a rapidly developing culture are going to be dead in 20 years or less. Genuinely terrified that pride might just be a glorified advertisement block with drag queens and rainbow floats as spice by the time I'm 40.

Please stop trying to beat the flavor out of queerness with a broom and a bible. You are not helping.

[whitehotharlots]

Anything changed yet?

The "2020 UGGGHH" discourse is insufferable. It boggles my mind that so many people think an arbitrary temporal distinction is the cause of our nation's collapse. They believe, in all earnestness, that 2021 is going to be better simply by virtue of it being different.

There's a very good chance--better than 50/50--that 2020 is going to be the best of our remaining years, that every year and month and day from now until the sun explodes is going to be progressively worse than the one that preceded it.  

I had a sad, drunk epiphany last night about neoliberal management strategies during our collapse. The general consensus is that people like Mitch McConnell and Larry Summers are evil and stupid. But what if they're actually evil and competent? They know that mass displacement is coming, probably very soon, and they intentionally want to immiserate most people beforehand so that we won't have the resources or will to mount any consequential protest as the cities start to flood and burn and trains start herding us into camps.

You might have heard of The Great Reset. Like all other reflections of our horrific future, the political media recently began referring to it as a "conspiracy theory." Indeed, it has been badly misunderstood by paranoid right wingers. But it's real. There was a Davos conference that was literally called "The Great Reset." Transcripts and videos of conference proceedings can be found with a 10 second Google search. These people put their ideology out in the open for everyone to digest, and now simply re-posting the things they said on record makes you a conspiracy theorist.

These types of Rich People Gatherings--Davos, the Aspen Ideas Festival, etc--should not be regarded as a meeting of soothsayers. They're not even really prognosticators. They are, instead, the collected mewlings of the modern clarisy. Their declarations are meant to placate the hyper elite, convince them that their destructive behaviors are moral and the current system is totally sustainable even though the ground is clearly caving in beneath their feet. 

You can think of the visions set forth at these conferences as sort of what the rich think the best case scenario might be.

The Great Reset's best case scenario is terrifying indeed: one of the very first slides announces that by 2030 upwards of a billion people will be displaced by climate change. We won't eat meat anymore (okay, fine, whatever). Oh, also, our economy will be entirely rentier-based. You don't have any possessions. You rent everything you use. You don't draw a steady paycheck. Everyone is a gig worker. There is no retirement, either; you work until you can't, and then you die. 

This is the world both of our wretched political parties want to build. To the people who control our fate, this is idealism.

The weirdest omission is that they all seem to think that the masses are just going to go along with it. India and Pakistan will not exchange nuclear weapons: each side will merely accept that their countries are no longer inhabitable and instead of fighting for water or territory they will simply sit tight and wait for immolation. Eritreans will humbly march themselves into the sea. American homeowners will simply shrug their shoulders and consent to signing all of their earthly possessions over to Citibank in exchange for a weekly allowance of 4 cans of Spam.

Is this naivety, or do they know something we don't? Are they stupid enough to simply believe that no one will fight back, or are they planning some type of mechanisms for the suppression of unrest?

Maybe neither? Because, honestly, I can't see any reform taking place no matter how bad things get. Next year--after Biden eliminates all remaining vestiges of the social safety net and unemployment hits levels never before seen since the dawn of industrialization and the police continue to murder people at will--we could very well see riots that are ten times as destructive as the ones that hit over the past summer.

So what? What will change? The government will act swiftly to ensure that the hyper rich don't suffer a moment of inconvenience. They will give everyone else the choice of either dying quietly or getting mowed down by cops.

Remember the French Yellow Vest riots? Those were morally clear cut: their shitbag neoliberal weasel president eliminated the wealth tax--because omg can you imagine the injustice of a Kardashian only inheriting 80% of their father's money? To pay for this, France instituted a regressive gas tax and incredibly cruel pension cuts. This generated two straight years of violent, disruptive rioting. Macron's approval rating cratered toward near the single-digits. 

What was the result? The wealth tax was not reinstated. The gas tax was not rescinded. The government made a minor concession on the pension reforms, cutting payments on average by 40%, instead of the 50% that was initially approved. 

This is the efficacy of protest. This is the best us non-elites can to do change the future everyone in charge has very explicitly said they want. 

The Democrat adoration for Biden sends a clear message: you get nothing. You will never get anything. You are a bad person for even asking for something.

I’ve mentioned this before, but Endless war, deadly austerity, and environmental destruction simply do not enter the liberal worldview. Anyone who tries bringing them up is a racist sexist bro who cares more about "preventing the oceans from catching fire" when he should be paying attention to something really important, like the newest trans Marvel hero. L-look at this Beefaroni commercial that features a biracial family... you gonna look at that and tell me we're not making progress? You ingrate. You fucking worm. How fucking dare you be upset that we just stole your pension? Your soul is so blighted by privilege you think you just deserve to not go bankrupt to pay for cancer treatment? 

That's the thrust of liberalism post-Obama. No solutions, just excuses. We're not going to help anybody. But we will give relatively well off people a means of justifying, in their tiny brains, why it's good when the leaders they adore act like cruel shitheads.

[centrally-unplanned]

Gonna be a dumbass and discourse on gender politics! So Apple recently hired Antonio Garcia Martinez onto their team, but that become a big blow-up as he has authored a quasi-biographical/quasi-fictional book Chaos Monkeys and he was fired. Its views are Sexist (now Apple™ certified!), and this is the money quote that circulated:

The Verge article, because of course there is a Verge article - praise the spirit of Friedan that there isn’t a Jezebel article - is here, with extremely useful information like the percent of tech workers who are white and Asian, gee thanks for the context. 

Much more of his book of course is presented, and that is the real context you do need. Martinez describes the book as “total Hunter S. Thompson/Gonzo mode” and yeah, its a pretty passable attempt, kudos. Which means, of course, that we are going to be insulting fucking *everyone*. Everyone is a shitheel, a patsy, a fraud, or a victim (already or destined-to-be), this is How The World Works and the dear author is gonna expose The Truth. That’s the genre, so into the text we go:

The above passage is, of course, setting up a comparison to the woman the main character is dating:

Ah, not from money, lived in poverty, has done manual labor, tall, imposing. This is what we call contrast folks! Gonna set up a norm for what “regular” people are, and make a character who stands out interesting. Kindof a literary 101 here. And we are gonna throw every other woman under the bus to do it, right?

“Well that is what’s sexist, calling all woman that”. All women in the Bay Area, you mean. “Okay sure, but that is still sexism”. Pause for a second - what do you think his opinion of men in the Bay Area is? I won’t bore you, its that they are petulant louts whose arrogance and entitlement is eclipsed only by their ignorance. Because its Hunter S Thompson! Everyone sucks. 

Look me in the eyes and tell me you think the median mid-level product manager at a Bay Area tech firm would be worth a pinch of salt in a gunfight - you know they wouldn’t! Well that is the claim in question, what's the objection?! ‘Why care about that metric?’ No clue, seems crazy to me, I guess machismo is one hell of a drug and Martinez is riding it into the sunset but I can’t claim its any worse than making hitting Diversity/Inclusion metrics for your company’s Board of Advisors your high of choice.

My high of choice is this fucking needle injection of a quote from the leader of the protest:

I am sure you did “work relentlessly”. A decision that was, in all likelihood, made easier by having no college debt and attending a private highschool and having infinite access to tutors and whatever resources you needed to succeed, the typical experience of the large majority of the people who work in finance in the Bay Area! ‘Earning’ your income but also benefitting from deep structural advantages that put you there? If only there was a word for that. Would be neat if there was anyone identifying as a leftist at Verge who could comment! Maybe you could ask Martinez for help - since that was literally the point of the passage in question.

(Though seriously Martinez, I know your girl had a rough facade but her first job was an internship at Citibank. Comparing her to the Afghan Eyes girl is, to speak your lingo, overpricing your asset’s fundamental value)

The rest of the complaints are like this, with a healthy dose of “man describes how he is sexually attracted to someone, and That’s Bad”, and its all so vapid. Fundamentally, this episode, while of course tiny and Not Important, is just another part of the creeping ‘professionalization’ of every aspect of life that so many people demand. Not only is the content proscribed, but the manner of expression is equally placed on guardrails. I value too much diverse art to not be pissed off at the increasingly-obvious attempts to censure swaths of it away, even if it is very much doomed to fail.

so. fucking. cute.

This sounds so incredibly vain and shallow, but have you ever aspired to be in a relationship with someone that you knew strangers would look at you two and go, “oh they are so fucking cute together”?

With respect to this show, sure, Kim Tae-ri and Lee Byung-hun are beautiful and so that makes them especially cute. But I’m remembering something really vivdly right now.

Back in 2010-2011, I was bank teller at Citibank in Rancho Bernardo. It was a chill job that paid me an amazing $12.50 an hour, the latest I ever had to stay at work was 6:30pm on Fridays, and I got paid federal holidays.

To this day, I still remember two customers I had who were so in love with each other I can’t help but feel my heart melt just thinking about them. They’d stroll into the bank laughing and she’d be locking arms with him, maybe he’d be finished telling the punchline of a joke, or maybe she would. Their energy was infectious, and I remember I’d always have a smile on my face taking their deposits.

I remember one day asking them how they met. I forget how but it wasn’t an intrusive question it was sort of the next question I could possibly ask them -- they were both in their late-40s/early-50s but had the energy of young newlyweds.

She mentioned how they were both at a professional conference together, they just started talking, and boom -- that was it. They were inseparable ever since. They were both single and knew they’d be together. It was the strike of lightning to the heart that young folk dream of but don’t have the experience to distinguish and only the older, wiser folk with the battle scars of previous relationships can recognize. I can’t recreate their faces in my head, but what sticks out to me is how she was really beautiful for her age and he was a balding, glasses-wearing middle age man. I’m imagining Michael Pollan right now and that’s pretty accurate. But goddamn, they were so fucking cute together.

There was no doubting how in love they were. They had this nuanced body language when they were together where they were always somehow pointing in each other’s direction even when they were side by side. They were both very present, and when one of them was talking to me the other was dutifully listening, ready to chime in with an insight or a joke.

It’s one of the few (not rare, but few) instances where I said, “oh, that’s what love is... that’s the encyclopedia definition right there”

***takes Polaroid photo, shakes it a couple of times, puts it in a big book labeled Encyclopedia F-M page 296 -- LOVE***

I have no idea why that came out as I posted that clip, that wasn’t even my intention to write that story out. But I’m happy i remembered it, I can only appreciate those 11 months I spent as a bank teller now that I’m so removed from the experience.

Damn, I just remembered that girl with the glasses who’d come in every Friday.

And if you’re reading this, hey Cate, I remember meeting you there, too ;) -- knowing you and receiving your Facebook message 5 months after you sent it and long after I quit Citibank is certainly a highlight of those days.

And then we did drugs at Coachella like 4 years later!

Life is but a dream.

***From Bitches With Riches*** . . . So, for about 8 months I've been straight pimpin my credit score to my moms cuz I've been all adamant in making every payment on time, paying off my debt the minute I use a credit card, and checking my FICO scores from Transunion, to Experian and Equifax online like, ... every damned day! 😀😀😀 . . And for months my mom is like, 'Blah, blah, blah. Who cares about your credit score? It's not like it means anything. Blah, blah ...' 😜😜😜 . . So, I have a couple of store cards. Nothing big. About $1500 a piece. And, of course, that mandatory Capital One piece of shit card that everyone gets when they start accumulating credit cards. But my score had gone from, like, 610 to 740 in the past 8 months! And I KNOW that means something good, right? RIGHT?!? 😳😳😳 . . I decide to check Capital One by asking for an increase to see what my credit score was worth. They offered me $100. 😲😲😲 Fuck. That. Noize. Then I apply for a Citibank Diamond Preferred card because they've been sending me applications for a no APR super card for months now out of anger over that fucked up Capital One offer ... Approved. $5500. BOO YAH!!! . . Fucking ... $100?!? MY ASS!!! 🤣🤣🤣 . . It's not a million dollars, ... but It's a good start, right? I'm transferring the balance from my Cap One card to my Citibank and cutting that fucker up. . . Lawdy! It sho do feel good to be told your worth nuthin and find out you is at least a lil somethin somethin! 😎😎😎 #whatsinyourwallet💵

Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Part 1: All the Times Luann de Lesseps' Defense of Tom D'Agostino Broke Our Hearts

New Post has been published on http://gossip.network/real-housewives-of-new-york-city-reunion-part-1-all-the-times-luann-de-lesseps-defense-of-tom-dagostino-broke-our-hearts/

Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Part 1: All the Times Luann de Lesseps' Defense of Tom D'Agostino Broke Our Hearts

Luann de Lesseps didn’t want the Real Housewives of New York City season nine reunion special to be about Tom D’Agostino. But as the saying goes, it’s about Tom.

During part one of the three-part special, after host Andy Cohen took Ramona Singer to task for her erratic behavior all season long and grilled Sonja Morgan over her touchy relationship with Dorinda Medley, talk turned, as it so often does when these women all get together, to the onetime, but now former, Mrs. D’Agostino’s doomed marriage to the man everyone warned her about.

And while it’s easy to bask in the schadenfreude while watching poor Lu twist herself into a pretzel as she tried to excuse any and all of Tom’s bad behavior, knowing that she’d file for divorce only a few short weeks after sitting down to tape the reunion, we couldn’t help but feel terrible for her. This isn’t going to be an easy watch for the erstwhile Countess.

Charles Sykes/Bravo

First, there was the initial, rose-colored glasses description of married life: “It’s fantastic. I love being married. I love the life that goes with it. I love having a partner in crime, and I love Tom. He’s a good guy.”

Then came the moment when Andy brought up last year’s reunion, where Ramona seemed to imply she was aware of further indiscretions on Tom’s part, but chose to keep quiet. “Yeah, I did,” she told Andy when asked if she knew more than she let on. “When Tom was at the Regency, the reason he was at the Regency kissing another girl was he had a huge fight with you and was pissed at you. Then he went to L.A. and started kissing that girl again…And he laughed and said you deserved it.”

And she didn’t stop there. “He met a woman from Philadelphia who was recently divorced at the Regency bar and he went up to the hotel room with her and he said he had an open relationship with you,” she revealed. “But nothing happened.”

Then came Tom’s infamous “de-mic” moment with his ex Missy from the season finale. Turns out Lu had only gotten to see that episode the night before taping. “I have no idea,” she admitted when asked what he said free from prying microphones. “I didn’t see it until last night. Now I’m going to ask him because I haven’t had the chance.”

Up next? Her defense of the “dog with a leash” “joke” Tom made in regards to his wedding ring. “I always look like the tough guy. I try to look at it he’s trying to be funny and he doesn’t realize it’s going to look weird,” she said. “He shouldn’t say things like that, obviously.”

Then came the depressing admission that not everyone in her family welcomed Tom with open arms. “That’s been tough, especially on Noel, my son,” she revealed. “It was hard for him to accept him in the beginning because of what happened. Of course, he’s my son. He’s very protective of me.” 

And then, in the face of everyone echoing Ramona’s suggestion that she “ban the Regency,” came this tepid response: “It’s either I accept him for the way he is—I’m not going to change him at this point.”

Had she demanded he stop frequenting bars known to get him into trouble, the others wondered? “I have suggested,” she said. Oof.

While the Tom train will chug along into part two next week, it wasn’t all D’Agostino doom and gloom this week. Read on for our favorite one-liners.

Best Bites – “You’re in a good place. I have no face.” – Bethenny Frankel, mocking Ramona’s mushy Mexican chat with Sonja while recovering from her major facial laser treatment – “No, I mean, I think a monkey has the same opinion.” – Bethenny, on whether she found it ironic that she and Jill Zarin shared the same opinion about Ramona’s mental state – “Someone said it at CitiBank to me the other day, one of the tellers.” – Dorinda on her legendary “CLIP!” moment – “I did trash her, but by the time she saw me, she was pissed and I had moved on.” – Sonja, not understanding how feelings work – “No. But like at what point–how many decades into this do I have to not answer this question? What do I have to fucking do? Do I have to Dorinda’s house apart, wear her fucking underwear? What do I have to do not hear this question that you ask me every Watch What Happens Live, every reunion, birthday, Hannukah. You ask me all the live long day, OK? Like, enough.” – Bethenny, shutting down Andy’s latest inquiry into whether she would ever reconcile with Jill

What did you think of Luann’s Tom defense, especially now that they’re divorced? Sound off in the comments below!

The Real Housewives of New York City‘s reunion special continues Wednesday, Aug. 23 at a new time, 8 p.m., only on Bravo.

What’s your nightmare, since November 8th? Perhaps your subconscious, like mine, has reserved 3AM-5AM for an exercise I like to call “Panic Town,” a half-awake, blurry, mental recitation of anything that could go catastrophically wrong for the country, or for you personally, or for...literally anyone. It’s a fun two hours! Then I read the news.

Lately, these fear ramblings largely focus on what will happen in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. (I know there are other things to worry about too, maybe even more pressing, how about you not tell me about them in the comments.) And while I’ve always laughed at the doomsday preppers who build bunkers and stockpile guns, I’ve recently started to consider that they might be on to something. Not for an apocalypse, necessarily, but for a disaster on an ordinary American scale: Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy, September 11th, even the 2010 blizzard with its empty grocery shelves and no clear routes to the hospitals. In my early-morning panics, I ask myself, how on it do I think the Trump administration will be? Will Trump’s FEMA be a fast, organized, efficient machine?

LOL. I started ordering canned food.

And so, while I don’t think I’m newly paranoid, I am newly...prepared. Fortunately, the internet provides both camaraderie and online shopping for people who can vividly imagine literally every terrible scenario, and I quickly found myself down a rabbit hole of opinions on what I, my husband, and two small kids need, for, say, two weeks in an apartment with no access to food, water, heat, or medical attention. Or what we’ll need for a fast skedaddle out of town. But I persevered, and bought what I think is the bare minimum for health and safety in the event of a disaster. Below, everything I have in either my emergency supply kit or our “go bags,” or both.

Water. After the 2010 blizzard, I laid in some gallons of distilled water, but they eventually leaked, and—being an easily defeated person—I never replaced them. Google tells me that you want hard-sided, refillable containers. We live in a cramped apartment, so I went for the stacking water bricks that don’t take up a lot of room. You want a gallon per day per person: FEMA says for three days; NYC says a week. I say for as many of those water bricks as I can drape a quilt over and call it a coffee table.

Food. Canned goods for home, and energy bars for the go bags. Two weeks’ worth of canned goods for four people takes up a whole cabinet in my kitchen, so that’s now my designated emergency-supply place. So long, popcorn-popper and stand mixer. You are artifacts of a more happy-go-lucky time.

A two-week supply of birth control. No one wants a disaster baby.

A whistle. I mean, I don’t think I’m going to be trapped under rubble, but then, who does?

First aid and toiletry kit, especially Band-Aids and moleskins, in the event of hiking out of town. The kit includes sunscreen, Advil, children’s Tylenol, Imodium, Claritin, sunscreen, toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Masks. For any kind of disaster that involves dust and debris.

Paper maps of New York and surrounding states. I have a terrible sense of direction, and God forbid I have to walk to my parents in West Virginia with only a dim idea of which way to go. I’d be all Blair Witch by the time I got to Pennsylvania.

Copies of all our important documents, in ziplocks. Also good for when the terrorists take down the cloud and you have to argue with the Citibank teller that yes you do have an account there.

A utility knife. A Leatherman, which is now in my go bag, and which is so much fun to play with I wish I had a second one. If you don’t want a utility knife, at the very least keep a can opener near your food.

Duct tape. I don’t know why, but the various preppers recommend it. It’s cheap, so why not?

Potassium iodide. This was actually not my idea, and on the paranoia scale I think this one’s pretty high up. During the George W. Bush administration, my former boyfriend’s mother, a M.D. who had trained to care for people who’d survived war and other traumas, insisted we keep a packet of potassium iodide, which provides some protection to the thyroid in the event of a dirty bomb. After the breakup, I kept the Le Creuset, and he kept the KI. So it’s paranoid, whatever, potassium iodide is cheaper than Le Creuset.

Mylar blankets. If the power goes out, no heat. If we’re walking somewhere in the winter, no heat.

Tampax. My period has taken me by surprise every month for thirty years, that’s how fast I learn. Disaster-time will be the moment that all changes, I swear.

Cheap ponchos. If we’re walking out of town I want to try to stay dry.

A crank radio that will also charge our phones, and extra chargers.

A flashlight, plus more flashlights. Every flashlight I buy, the kids squirrel away for nighttime shenanigans, so now I actually have nine or ten flashlights that I can’t find.

A lamp and a billion-hour candle.

Batteries for all of the above, in ziplocks.

A deck of cards. I love games and in fact wrote a giant how-to for parlor games, outdoor games, and card games. And because God is capricious, I married a man who is not a big game player. A disaster is the perfect time to force him to learn.

Chocolate bars. In the event of a shelter-in-place kind of situation, we will need some treats. Unfortunately I ate those treats immediately after buying them, ordered some more, ate those, and so on. I hope the disaster catches me in the four-hour window in which I actually have chocolate in the house.

Five backpacks, which I got at the Good Will, because I am a frugal paranoiac. These are our go bags, one for each person for our family, plus an extra for my husband to keep at work. In his work go bag I also put a blanket, another billion-hour candle, and, in case he has to sleep at work, a comic novel. Something lighthearted, because if he’s sleeping at work I know he’s going to be freaking the fuck out. I considered The Road but decided that was unkind.

Water purification tablets, a bottle of unscented bleach, and a medicine dropper. Also feels a little ‘noidy, but if we run out of bottled water, I don’t want to be gulping grody bacteria water.

Matches in a ziplock.

Cash in small bills.

A roll of toilet paper, baby wipes, and hand sanitizer. Paranoid ladies still want to stay fresh.

Contractor’s bags. If the toilet stops flushing and there’s no trash pickup, we’re going to need to designate a waste zone. I’m going to call it “somewhere pretty far away from here.”

A gun: Just kidding, no gun. If my kids can find all the flashlights, they can find a gun.

For specific product recommendations, I relied pretty heavily on this product guide from The Sweethome, New York City’s Emergency Management “go bag” page, and FEMA’s Emergency Supply List.

The thing about disaster preparedness is that it’s hard to stop. I mean, 3AM-5AM still serves up dreadful scenarios every morning, and I usually need a couple cups of coffee to determine whether stockpiling camping gear, Tamiflu, lipstick, and nylons are the next logical steps or merely the ravings of Panic Town. But for now, at least, we’re set. Except for the chocolate.

The bipartisan consensus on holding immigrants hostage

I've tried describing my disgust with DACA a few times, but the whole situation is simultaneously so evil and yet so beloved by liberals that I don't know if my complaints can ever penetrate anyone's thick skull.

Here's the gist of it: DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and right away once you expand beyond the acronym it stops sounding hopey changey and takes on a decidedly fascisitic tone. 

DACA allows some young people who arrived as undocumented immigrants to defer deportation. They're not granted immunity from deportation. Just a deferral. They have to play by the rules and voters have to keep Dems in office, or else something bad might happen to them. The Democrats are, in effect, holding these kids hostage. 

As can be expected from a policy designed by Democrats, DACA's vaunted deferral status comes with an awful lot of strings attached. First off, it's not blanket protection: kids need to apply for it, and pay a 500 dollar fee. The kids have to have gotten here before their 16th birthday but could not have been born before June 16th, 1981 (I am not kidding; the date is that specific). They have to have either graduated high school or still be in demonstrable good standing with their school--meaning they can get deported if their GPA dips. They also must have never been convicted of a crime. 

Even if a person meets all these requirements, they're still not citizens. Oh no. They instead enter into a kind of servitude caste where their ability to evade deportation hinges on remaining in good social standing. They must reapply for employment eligibility every couple of years. If they don't have a job or if they get arrested, that's it, they're gone. 

This is very, very obviously not a great system. But you may think, welp, it's the best we can do, a sort of compromise between the kindly means testing of the Dems and the evil racism of the GOP. But that overlooks a very obvious and infuriating fact: DACA was the Obama administration's attempt to exempt some people from a mass deportation system that they themselves designed. This is like if a spree killer didn't shoot children and got called a hero for it, if years later a new spree killer came in and threatened to renege on the "no child murder" policy unless certain demands were met and then everyone rushed to meet those demands.

Or, really, it's so cynical and cruel that there's no fair metaphor for it. Obama devastated hispanic communities and helped turn ICE into a lawless paramilitary organization, but he spared the most sympathetic group of immigrants so he's a fucking saint. But he didn't spare them out of kindness. He spared them for political leverage! Now, Dems get to keep deporting people but they can also use this one sliver of semi-decency to guilt voters: "yeah, we're cruel shitheads. If you don't like it  you can go fuck yourself: the other guys are even worse."

And then when the GOP inevitably returns to power, they can likewise threaten to get rid of DACA unless, oh I dunno, maybe unless congress passes a new act that allows Citibank to legally own your children if you fall behind on your credit card payments. The Dems can agree to that and still get hailed as girlboss heroes for standing up for DACA. It's a win-win for all sides.

This is why it's so fucking infuriating watching all the academic liberals I know wring their hands and get the vapors over Trump threatening to deport international students if their schools don't have face-to-face instruction. The goal here isn't immediately obvious so they're all blaming it on whiteness or whatever. But there is a goal: Trump is holding international students hostage in order to achieve the unrelated goal of forcing public spaces to open back up. This is disgusting. But, hey, guess what? Obama invented it! The guy you cheer you for. Your BFF. He created this precedent, and oh whatta know the Republicans wound up using it, too. Golly, who coulda thought that would happen?

Of course Biden isn't gonna change any of this. Why would he give up that kind of leverage? Why would anyone give up such an easy means of achieving high moral standing? Who would be good when simply being slightly less bad is so much easier, comes with so many more benefits? He's going to continue being a massive shithead and brutalizing poor and minority communities, and every Resistance moron is going to post about how great it is to return to normalcy. Because Biden's voters, like Biden himself, are subhuman bags of shit. 

If you vote for Biden, you are voting for racism and mass deportation. As you pat yourself on the back for supporting a “lesser evil,” keep in mind that your willingness to do so is exactly why we live in an unfathomably cruel country run by the worst human beings in the world: it’s because of you. It’s not because of Trump voters. It’s not because of privilege or whiteness. You did this. It’s your fault.
