@octothorpe@mastodon.online Crazy how nowhere in there did Sharif apologize. (Okay, it's a screenshot of a quote, but still.) If anyone went MAGA and truly recognizes the error of their ways, they will be welcomed back into the fold, but it has to be because you recognize your mistake and take accountability, and not just because you, personally, got hurt when you thought it would just be the queers that you hate.

@octothorpe@mastodon.online The average rightwinger doesn't seem to realize how much they benefit from even a soft American empire. Being the world's reserve currency has very real advantages that Cletus doesn't seem to understand. (Not that I agree with even our more Clintonian better angels as a country, but I don't think people realize just how bad their cozy, comfortable lives can get. If they're going to ignore the more brutal and dehumanizing elements of fascism.)

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I feel like all of mine are separate texts or poetry set to music in the English choral tradition, but I love Milton's "On Time", set to music by C. V. Stanford (really, the entire poem is beautiful):
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,
Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace;
And glut thy self with what thy womb devours,
Which is no more than what is false and vain.
