Bookwormjillk That woodpecker story was so funny. Listening to the stories my family tells though I‘m surprised it wasn‘t a wild turkey. I can‘t get through a visit to my family in Massachusetts without a story where a wild turkey chased someone somewhere. 1mo

Karisa #cheetosatan for the win! 😂 1mo

TheBookHippie Cheeto Satan 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk Wild turkeys are ridiculously evil. 🫣😵‍💫 1mo

mcctrish I read somewhere that the only president to have a worse first 100 days was William Henry Harrison and y‘all should meet the geese we have up here #cobrachickens 1mo

AnnCrystal 🐕‍🦺🐶🐕🫂💝💝💝💝💝. 1mo

dabbe @Aims42 💚💜💚 1mo

dabbe @ravenlee And he's a Woody the Woodpecker! 🤩🤣😍 1mo

dabbe @peaKnit Full credit for this goes to @TheBookHippie. 😍🤩🤣 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk OMG, I would be terrified of a wild turkey! 🤣😱😍 1mo

dabbe @Karisa You've started a trend, @TheBookHippie! She gets all the credit for that one! All I did was add a # in front of it! 🤣😍🤩 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Great name, though! That's the only thing that's “great“ about it! 🤣😍🤣 1mo

dabbe @mcctrish As in Canadian geese? They're so beautiful, though! But I get it. Even our geese here can be fairly treacherous! 🤣😍🤣 1mo

Socialist Standard | The Socialist Party of Great Britain

#TransRightsReadathon
“Digital Book Burnings in Trump's America:
Attacks on marginalised groups are likely an early indication of rising authoritarianism. A century ago, the Nazi party of Germany targeted transgender people & the scientists who were pioneers of sexual research, raiding Magnus Hirschfeld‘s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, one of the world‘s first centres dedicated to the study and care of queer and trans people. The Nazi Party ⬇️

Bookwomble raided the clinic, terrorised the workers, and burned thousands of books, papers and research materials in a public spectacle of hate that foreshadowed the grim horrors to come. Now, today, a modern version of this erasure is also underway. This time, the flames are in the form of a trash folder, as it is a digital erasure, and this horror is unfolding in the United States under the directorship of Donald Trump.“ (edited) 2mo

Bookwomble Going on to describe Trump as “the Marmalade Mussolini“ gave me a laugh in a relatively grim #SocialistStandard article about Republican transphobia, and a call for socialist allyship for trans and other lgbtqia+ people ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🚩 (edited) 2mo

Jari-chan Marmalade Mussolini 🤣🏳️‍⚧️💖💪 2mo

Bookwomble @Jari-chan I know, right! 😄 2mo

Bookwomble Interest piqued the "Marmalade Mussolini" tag, I found a serious comparison between Trump and El Duce in this 2017 article by professor of history, Mark Bickard: https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/the-scary-parallels-between-trump-and... 2mo

TheBookHippie Cheeto Satan to me 🤣 and yes I‘ve screamed about this history since 2014. 😵‍💫 2mo

Bookwomble From Prof. Bickard's article:
“The attacks on central institutions of American democracy as “enemies of the people” has a horrible and horribly dangerous historical background. Trump may (or may not) be too ignorant to know of that background, but his inner circle most certainly knows of it, and intends it in full.“ 2mo

TieDyeDude Larry Wilmore likes to refer to him as the “Tangerine Idi Amin“ 2mo

dabbe #marmalademussolini #cheetosatan #ldf (lame duck felon) #tangerineidiamin
He's so “great“ with the ad hominem attacks, it's time to redirect some back to him. #resist 👊🏻♥️👊🏻 2mo

GingerAntics This is truly terrifying. What is more terrifying is the people okay with this, that just don‘t see the parallels. 2mo

CarolynM @GingerAntics Exactly 2mo

GingerAntics @CarolynM as a historian, I feel like I‘m shouting into the void sometimes, just trying to get people to wake up! I‘m just so tired. 2mo

GingerAntics @Bookwomble that‘s the thing. It‘s 100% intentional. People saying stupid things like it‘s just coincidental or it just looks that way are just so entirely out of touch. 2mo

Bookwomble @TheBookHippie I feel the name Cheeto Satan is too harsh - on Cheetos! 😄 2mo

Bookwomble @dabbe 😄 2mo

Bookwomble @GingerAntics It's hard to understand people's lack of recognition of what he is. It is tiring living through such times. I hope you get times where you can switch off and tune out for a while to test and recover ❤️‍🩹🫂 2mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwomble 😂😂😂😂 2mo

TheBookHippie @TieDyeDude 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics or they do see the parallels and embrace it. 2mo

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude I love these alliterative nicknames for him 😄 2mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie that is so true… and beyond terrifying. 2mo
