Why does Pride matter? Why do we get a month? What was it all about? I’ve posted an article from People Magazine below to give a brief rundown for the oft-asked questions. June is Pride Month, and though the LGBTQ+ community continues to face an uphill battle — the ACLU reports there are currently 491 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation being floated around the U.S. — there is still much to celebrate. According to the Library of Congress, the month recognizes…
I’m back, for now. Turns out that social media sites don’t take too kindly when you’re using your forum to help women find birth control medication thanks to the recent Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade. I mean, can I prove that my site was deleted because of that? No. Am I an idiot? Also no. It only happened, and quickly, after I started posting links and sharing them with social media sites. By the next morning, my forum…
I have an idea about what I want to do next.I’d like a forum for leftists. I mean a place for socialists of all stripes: Democratic Socialism, Marxism, Anarchism, et. al., to come and talk without interference from moderators. Certainly, there are a few spaces where socialists can talk, but they’re almost always governed by people who have a vested interest in maintaining a corporate atmosphere and always willing to pull the rug out from under people as soon as…
tap tap Any bronies and pegasisters still here? I know it’s been a while. MLP:FIM ended last year, and now we have a new generation of ponies on the way.

I didn’t become the way I am because of communism, I am this way, and communism happens to match what I’m looking for in humanity’s future: a stateless, classless, moneyless society where everyone truly can work to achieve what they want in life, rather than what is dictated to them by those who will never have to worry about having a home, food, or peace of mind. If, as an American, the first thing you think of when you hear…
I just want all of you to know that even though I can sometimes seem abrasive, even hateful, it is not out of hatred or disgust for any of you, but in defense of you. I hate the system that traps us here, that keeps some of us bound, and others fighting just to breathe. I have no tolerance nor patience for injustice, cruelty, exploitation, and in the process of burning away as much of it as I can, it…
Yes. With a serious caveat. We didn’t get this way overnight, we won’t move people away from it overnight. Millennia of conditioning, of accepting your God/the King/your Lord/your President/your Boss as your sovereign leader who knows best, has lead us here. This is why we’re in the position we are. There are examples of humans working together without benefit to a hierarchy, there are studies that show humans love to share with each other, that it makes them feel good….
