I'm stressed on tick 'cause I'm gacked on anger

[sovay]

A man in a car whose license plate I didn't get just drive-by screamed "White power!" at me and my mother as we were masked-and-distanced talking through the window of her car.

"Who the fuck can tell you're Jewish when you're wearing a mask?" I asked spatch afterward. He didn't think the driver could: he thought it had to do with the Black Lives Matter sign in our building's window.

I have been worrying about white violence this Fourth of July for weeks now. With all the fireworks planned for Mount Rushmore, I'm just hoping the man in the White House blows Jefferson's nose off.

I guess we're going to need to make more signs.

It’s very dry there and has been for a decade. I’m just saying. It’s really not a great spot for a pyro show.

[gwynnega]

Ugh. Whatever the impetus, that is terrible.

Would save on ditch and petrol costs, is what I'm hearing.

[gwynnega]

This could turn into an interesting sequel to the finale of North by Northwest.

[sovay]

Ugh. Whatever the impetus, that is terrible.

I did not enjoy it!

[redbird]

Ugh.

[sovay]

Ugh.

Yeah.

[muccamukk]

I'm hoping for Jackson's nose, personally, but Jefferson's could be okay.

UGH!!!

Also: the Sioux and other nations had to give in? Yesterday they were telling that creep he wasn't welcome.

I don't think Jackson's on Mount Rushmore (I had to check: I always forget about Theodore Roosevelt), but I'm in favor of blowing his nose off generally.

[asakiyume]

If he goes up in a fire of his own making ....

[asakiyume]

There was an asshole like that who drove by the rally in B'town. Such brittle injury combined with such menace.

[yhlee]

*goose hiss at evil man*

[sovay]

Gr

Mm-hm.

[sovay]

UGH!!!

Very.

Also: the Sioux and other nations had to give in? Yesterday they were telling that creep he wasn't welcome.

My understanding is that there were protesters and then there was police.

[sovay]

*goose hiss at evil man*

Thank you.

If they are so fragile, they should get their shattering over with and leave the rest of us alone.

[sartorias]

Ah hell. First Nationers get shafted yet again. Why am I surprised.

[radiantfracture]

Shattering is a satisfying image.

[radiantfracture]

That's disgusting.

[rachelmanija]

WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!!!!!

[sovay]

That's disgusting.

I knew we had local MAGAs because I had seen their bumper stickers and, in one case, the slogans painted on the side of their house, but I am not pleased.

[sovay]

WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!!!!!

It actually shook me. It probably shouldn't have: I read the news. But it was so sudden and so vehement and so personal. Did not enjoy.

[rachelmanija]

I would have been shaken too. I've never had that happen in my entire life.

[sara]

Oh good grief. What an unpleasant thing to have to deal with and especially on the 4th. But with the President winding up all these yahoos I'm unsurprised.

[sara]

Yeah, some arrests but they apparently lined the highway. Blessings upon them.

[sbrackett]

Ugh and fuck off to that guy

[sovay]

What an unpleasant thing to have to deal with and especially on the 4th. But with the President winding up all these yahoos I'm unsurprised.

It's not at all statistically/stochastically surprising, but I still didn't expect it. And did not like it.

[sovay]

Ugh and fuck off to that guy

Thanks.

[sovay]

spatch has just informed me of the existence of the Black Hills Bail and Legal Defense Fund.

[sara]

Yep, looks like that's the one Water Protectors Legal Collective is recommending.

[sara]

I think white supremacy is always unlikable.

[sovay]

I think white supremacy is always unlikable.

Quite a lot of people in this country seem to like it, but they are not people I want to (even if I could) be.

[rosefox]

Of course it would shake you up! I'm so sorry. <3

[cmcmck]

People like that baffle me.

Totally.

Hugs

[aurumcalendula]

Ugh

*hugs*

[kenjari]

Argh, fuck that white power guy. May he get the punching he so clearly and deeply deserves.

[phi]

How awful, ugh

I've been praying all the cursing psalms rather a lot this summer

[sovay]

Argh, fuck that white power guy. May he get the punching he so clearly and deeply deserves.

Amen.

[sovay]

Ugh

Thank you.

*hugs*

[sovay]

I've been praying all the cursing psalms rather a lot this summer

I can understand that.

*hugs*

[sovay]

People like that baffle me.

I understand the reasons they exist. I wish they did not.

Thank you.

[sovay]

Of course it would shake you up! I'm so sorry.

[lokifan]

JFC. That opennness of hate is so terrifying.

[sovay]

That opennness of hate is so terrifying.

It is. I grew up with microaggressions, but not screaming. On one level it's not different at all, but on another it really is.
