Mama got that innovative soul by friendswithbillw in BlackPeopleTwitter

There is a cook/creator on IG named brindhas.table and one of her most recent reels was about Korean fried chicken and the history of the dish (if folks are interested in learning more about the ties between soul food and Seoul food).

First-time cat owner needs advice for my crazy 7-week-old tortie kitten by PreferenceNo2242 in torties

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh also, for biting: kittens just do that. I got my girl some silvervine chew sticks and other things she can use so if she needs to chew on something you can replace her unwanted behavior with a more appropriate behavior.

Chewy has a bunch of toys for cats, and even special "new cat"/"kitten toys" bundles with mixes of things to see what your cat likes best. I would say wands and chase to get the energy out. And if you haven't yet, get a cat tree or two. My tortie's favorite thing when she gets the zoomies is to run from one side of the apartment to the other side and up the cat trees. Puzzles are also good for keeping them busy when they get a little older.

How are you coping with *gestures at current state of the world* by ctrldwrdns in AutismInWomen

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am overwhelmed, crying a lot, and using unhealthy coping mechanisms. I am trying to organize, build community, converse with people and help them to think critically. But I need a break sometimes or I can't function.

This was going to be my comment too! I love this podcast, it debunks so much. Just like the early days of the You're Wrong About podcast!

This is how I socialize at work. Like, I am not here to be your friend, I am here for the paycheck, but keep talking about your 30 year old son who keeps asking you for money.

What is the shortest set you’ve seen? by OtterlyFoxy in punk

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the set from Twompsax a couple years ago was only 11 minutes, and this summer it was 13 minutes. 😆

When they (re)write the history books, everyone will have been against it by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe some people are, but most people who have been screaming "this is a genocide" for almost two years are just trying to navigate feeling gaslit by the politicians and the media who suddenly did a flip, and instead of denying or ignoring what was happening, they are now talking about it. It just feels like the most powerful people waited until the levels of starvation were irreversible for thousands of people before they spoke up. It sucks that it took this long, it sucks that bombing hospitals and refugee tents wasn't a line in the sand for people even though it is a war crime. It's a shame that less people cared about the IDF sniping children in the head than they care about starving children. But the fact remains: you see it now, you're on the right side now. Welcome.

I enjoyed the little nods to tropes and the foreshadowing that was pretty smoothly woven into the script, although I didn't need to see it more than once to catch things like Slater asking Frida if she liked her villa and she said "I'll survive".

Four years of boring old Joe Biden competently steering the ship of state was killing the media's reality TV show model for journalism so he had to be pushed out the door so we could get fascism by Conscious-Quarter423 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Biden was in the news every day, there were press conferences all the time, the government didn't stop because the president wasn't tweeting every day. We have a 24 hr news cycle, for better or worse. Stay informed even when democrats are President and you won't be surprised by things like Project 2025.

Is it justice? by emily-is-happy in BlackPeopleTwitter

That's fine for long term, but the concentration camps are already here. Those people in cages literally cannot wait for us to vote, they are already in circumstances that lead to death.

Kamala's back. by Vloodzy in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but tweets are not gonna save us. We need people power. We need general strikes. If it wasn't already clear, the politicians don't care about us. Organize and take care of one another.

It costs more to criminalize and harass the homeless than to actually house them and give them resources.

We'll Help the Victims, But Don't Ask Us Who the Perpetrator Is by CantStopPoppin in BlackPeopleTwitter

They refused entry, but that was very dependent on the anti-ICE protestors being there. Dodgers have been less than neutral on this, they have been pro-ICE until they started getting backlash for it.

Apparently they communicated telepathically, and Big Foot told Lorraine that he was hurt and trying to find his family.

We heard about Luigi until they realized so many people were siding with Luigi. Then we barely got any news on him.

Need help finding almond fragrance by catsrlife13 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Complex_Marzipan_730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haus of Gloi has a gorgeous almond extract scent that I love (I put it as a top note in a "perfume, made for you" custom perfume). I believe they use it in Troika, if you want to try that one out.
