There's this adorable thing about America where they pretend that access to unnecessary consumer goods makes up for the ambient gun violence, for profit healthcare, and massive homelessness crisis.

P sure that my parents' neighbours who live in cars outside their house don't have dryers, but hey-ho!
Also in Czech it is sušička. Just saying.

Actually I was so cute at 22 that it genuinely is not fair to everyone else and also current me.
Love that I was paid to look good and actually also convinced that I was not, in fact, good looking at the same time. Being a woman is good.
Honest to god... Image

Hey mates my brother's DIY skatepark in PDX is under increasing threat of shut down by the city, because having a free place for working class kids to hang out is bad and vacant lots are good apparently. Could you take a sec and sign a petition? Thanks!

Look at my brother's good dogs enjoying the park. Do you want to make them sad by shutting it down? No you do not. Image
And here is an article on it if you are interested :

The Moe throwing Barney out of the bar meme but me and people saying medieval Europeans didn't bathe.
Just saw someone say that the Church suppressed bathing? Like mate I have *some news* for you about the power of the Church to make anyone do anything especially in the early medieval period.
Just, every green reminder Image

Lads what is going on with that one courtside Sun's fan. You know exactly who I am talking about. Is it like, on purpose, or does he just dress like that?.
Like I know the purple is on purpose but... The hair? The beard? Has he lost a bet? What is happening?
And the one behind him counting money? This is just... This is too much for me.

No, I am sorry. I don't care if you are a "history buff" you do not, under any circumstances get to make pronouncements about Nazi collaborators based off of a wikipedia article and girlboss vibes.
Here are some excerpts from Kelly Ricciardi Colvin's Gender and French Identity:
Gender and French Identity after the Second World War, 1944-1954:
"At first she [Violette] had been part of a reconnaissance cell, one which would track down Resistance members and turn them in and she also concerned herself with economic requisitioning for Germans.
She denounced members of the French Resistance and participated in deadly raids, and she was at least party responsible for the deaths of dozens of resistors. As the war went on, she transitioned to physical violence, becoming, according to one historian, one of two

Going to try to use my big platform or whatev to point out that this post is still up after 8 hours and the replies are absolutely swarming with Nazi apologists who are defending the Hyena of the Gestapo. Public historians have a responsibility not to celebrate people like this.
And yes, it is clearly celebratory. When someone tortured people for the Gestapo you lead with that. That is the thing about them. Everything g else is background colour. Pretending otherwise emboldens fascists, and the replies here are testament to that fact.
If you say you want to prove that women don't always have to be good, fine, but you then frame the post around how this woman was a fascist and tortured people. You do not do a friendly little write up about her and occlude what she did.
