easiest scenario: you've stocked up on the meds you need. and now look, there's a ban and everyone is struggling to get their meds. you have six months of meds saved up, but some stranger you hardly know has none meds saved up! what do you do?

you give them all six months of the meds you saved up.

there are a lot of problems right now but it's all tied to what?

class warfare

fire

if it's in a campfire way, no. if it's in a flaming way, yes.

"you're accepting the right's framing"

you are maybe trying to say something about trans people without being a phobe, but you're starting with some phobic assumptions that you've probably accidentally absorbed from conservative talking points that have seeped into the zeitgeist

what's it mean when we call someone a "fierce ally"? should they, like, feel good about it?

it means they're using "ally-ship" to better their own situation. they should reflect on their choices.

it's 2028. trumpticorn vs ja bidin. don't nobody plz scream bout how that can't happen, cuz i think we're way passed being surprised by this stuff right? okay, so, trumpticorn is still trumpticorning and ja bidin is saying how he can trumpticorn better than trumpticorn but as something called "democrat." what do you do?

you can't vote because you're no longer a citizen of the united states because you ain't the captain of this ship so why are you so heck bent on going down with it? and if you're still here for whatever valid reason, don't vote cuz they'll be able to track you from that and is it worth it to turn this fire into a different fire that burns different anyway? no, just stay in the underground society we've made for you.

the media is how we understand the news and the world. 

the media is motivated by clicks and views. all we can learn from the media is "what does the media think will get them the most clicks and views" because that's what gives them money and this entire mess of a world is a giant class war that we lost long before any of us were born but that we can win before some of us are dead.

a clown

there is a medical breakthrough that will cure the ills of every human who has less than a billion dollars in their bank accounts. but it will kill everyone who is worth more than a billion dollars. what do you do?!

democrats are debating if trans rights are worth fighting for if they can't win while fighting for trans people. 

harris didn't say trans once during the campaign. no trans person was involved with any of it. the only trans person to run for a national position won. democrats are pretending that they supported trans people but they didn't. they abandoned us months ago (at least) and are now trying to back up the car and run us over for good measure.

rocky horror picture show
i think it really was at a time, but it's gotten to be too mainstream, so it's kind of lost its camp. like, it's camp for cishet normies now.

who went from "selfishly won't step aside so we hate him" to "what a hero, stepping aside to put great nation first" to "he doomed us to fascism" all in the course of, like, just 2024?

ja bidin

you have a basement meeting with all the queer people in the city where you are surviving a fascist regime. two queer members of the community are brought forward. they recently snitched out fellow queers in exchange for the release of their families from the podcast farm. you are told by your treasurer and secretary that no one in the community trusts these two queers anymore. the queers in question beg forgiveness. if they are cast out, they will likely die at the hands of fbi lawyers at the podcast farmers. if they are allowed to stay, you risk a queer uprising and your lienency on snitches may emboldened others to turn each other in for their own protection. what do you do?

the only definitely wrong answer is to create your own podcast farms within the queer society. if you did that, then you lose. otherwise, you get the points.

trumpticorn's appointments to his cabinet have included some men with horrible histories of treatment towards women

these are truly horrible men who may or may not receive their appointments, but in the meantime, the media isn't at all noticing that all of trumpticorn's appointments are out of touch billionaires who will continue to wage war on the poor

disney original movies like the space girl one or the roller blades one

if you're watching it ironically, yes. if you're, like, 8 years old and loving it authentically, still yes. the whole drawing the mickey mouse ears with a magic pen is def too capitalist to truly be camp but it's still SO camp to me.

"this gron's got a dusty way"

this old person has some outdated (maybe phobic) ideas

who is the two time "person of the year" according to time magazine who recently said that trans people are a small percentage of the population so probably not a problem?

trumpticorn...cuz...didn't he spend hundreds of millions of dollars advertizing how much we suck at life and now he's, like, "never heard of a trans"? wha? and since when did "never heard of a trans" count as fierce ally? (probably when thompson mcgawlls got all those awards for being a bully)

you are part of a grassroots org that shuttles trans kids from red states to cottonwood in new york. your instructions from ny this month say that it would be much safer if you had the kids mode to their AGAB until they get up to the blue states. you know that the kids you are shuttling won't be about that, but, apparently, kids who mode have a much greater (almost doubled) chance of making it to safety.  out of the seven kids you're taking this time, three are uncomfortable but chill with moding. two are distressed by it but willing. and two refuse, saying they never should have trusted you to begin with. what do you do?

this is hard. i think i'd come up with a system that lets everyone survive but that recognizes that moding affects different people in different ways and it's all valid. like, maybe kids have the choice to go with a moding group or a non-moding group? that way they take the best chance they can without crossing a line that hurts them?

there's all these drones flying all over New Jersey and other places and no one can get any answers! what's really going on?!
