Y'know that scene from the movie Parasite where the poor family's home floods in a torrential downpour, they lose everything, while the rich family was thanking the rain for cleaning the air, totally oblivious?

That's what we're living in right now.

"Coronavirus ends LA’s notorious smog and air pollution..."

Etc, etc.

Am I mad that the air is cleaner? No.

.

Am I livid that the MSM is putting a green spin on what may very well turn into medical martial law while the 99% are being absolutely gutted financially, robbed in broad daylight of trillions of dollars to corporate bailouts AGAIN? Yes.

#DNCFraudLawsuit Plaintiffs Petition Supreme Court

"As the Becks note, the documented election interference forming the basis of the DNC Fraud Lawsuit has seen no investigation or prosecution, with their suit standing as the single exception."

consortiumnews.com/2020/04/02/dnc…
"The party’s own defense counsel indicate that the DNC sees the democratic process in its nomination procedure as meaningless, with the real decisions determined by party insiders."
"Establishment media has hardly held them to account. DNC cheerleaders in the corporate press have not only ignored the fraud perpetrated by the @DNC in 2016, but some have argued that “Too Much Democracy is Bad for Democracy.”

Never forget how much the @DNC and its corporate-media-lackeys want to totally silence democratic voice of the people in broad daylight. They aren't hiding this agenda, they are openly advocating for it. And you trust them to count your votes accurately? Really?
The* democratic voice. ^_^

Frustration tweets are the best for grammar.
Oh and one last thing. Even the cover art for the piece is deeply insulting.

"Democracy is like baking a cake, and you don't even know the recipe, Serf. You just metaphorically stumble all over and spill things on yourself."

Clearly you haven't read this - goodreads.com/book/show/3650…

When sued, the Party's lawyers actually argued that its donors knew the primary process was rigged, by the way. The party will never allow a progressive to get the nomination, and it will defend its right to rig in court.
"It is impossible working within the system to shatter the hegemony of oligarchic power or institute meaningful reform. Change, real change, will only come by sustained acts of civil disobedience and mass mobilization" - Chris Hedges.

Rain Water Harvesting
(Memanen Air Hujan)

Tuhan telah mengajarkan kita melalui tanaman berupa rumput & pepohonan untuk meresapkan air hujan ke dalam tanah.

Daun2 di pohon/rumput memecah rintik hujan menjadi lebih kecil, air yg terpercik ke tanah ditahan oleh akar dll.

#Air 1
Biar info sy ini smakin tersebar luas sampai luar angkasa & planet Namec maka dgn berat hati saya CC org2 hebat berfollower Milliaran berikut ini:

Yg ini sy ikhlas 🙏🙏

#Air 2
Air hujan jadi mudah & banyak meresap ke dalam tanah sebelum akhirnya ke saluran air lalu ke sungai lalu ke laut.

Air yg meresap ke tanah akan disaring oleh akar, bebatuan, dll di dalam tanah sehingga jadi air bermineral.

Air itu akan menjadi Mata Air.

Fungsi lain?

I have a question for #Parasite director Bong Joon Ho.

I am wondering about his choice of appropriating Native imagery.

I wonder if it was a purposeful message.

As a courtesy, if you have not seen Parasite, there are minor spoilers ahead in my #thread.
In #Parasite, there are two families, one is a poor family struggling to make ends meet, they resort to fraudulently posing as potential employees to get a job with a rich family.

The mother of the rich family buys everything Native-related for her young Boy Scout son.
I won't go into details of the #Parasite film - but at one point, after an entire community is recovering from a disaster, the rich family has a Native-themed party.

Thus, the image I shared.

Here we go. I'm going to be skimming photos from wherever I can.
Gillian Anderson in light pink. We all know I'm tired of washed out white chicks (not our fault) wearing washed out colors so we turn into a visual puddle of blurgh, but since the designers officially push it, how can we hold it against the people wearing it?
Fit's great though, and it looks like rhinestone straps and she's got on earrings and I suspect there's going to be a dearth of jewelry tonight, so.

Winner.

Taekook au where;

“Shit— sorry I was looking for my fiancé, are you alright?” he extends a hand to the man he just knocked over and eyes widen when said man smiles in return.

“It’s your lucky day, you found me” the stranger winks, taking Taehyung’s hand as he stands up.
“Jungkook..” he introduces with a smile, lingering hold on a Taehyung’s hand a little too long.

“Tae-Taehyung” he coughs, feels flustered by the obvious flirting.

“Well Taehyung, if you don’t find your fiancé. I’ll be over at the corner cafe in an hour”
Jungkook blows a flying kiss before turning to walk away and Taehyung isn’t sure why but suddenly, he thinks his schedule has cleared up for an hour from now.

Of course if we look at every movie that's been review bombed on Rotten Tomatoes in the last 10 years, they're all movies with female or POC leads, soooooooooooo.....
The reality is that the stupid RT thing comes down to a Venn diagram of alt-right, The Men Who Hate Women™ and (yes this is real) toxic DC uber fans who believe film critics are paid off by Disney to give DC films bad reviews.
Wonder Woman isn't targeted because it's needed to prop up the narrative that Disney is the enemy.

Alita isn't targeted because it was made into a prop to attack Captain Marvel with.

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
