Whenever you praise declining birth rates, you are effectively ignoring the hoarding of wealth and resources, the poison that capitalism and imperialism continue to dump into our harbors and our drinking water. Those are the problem.
When you praise declining birth rates, you are advocating for a restriction. And we know very well that whenever you restrict anyone from doing anything, you make it OK for the rich to do it and it comes down on the poor. Any time you dabble in eugenics, it affects the poor, people of color, disabled and neurodivergent communities, queer people.
That's where declining birth rates always lead, because the marginalized will always be the undesirables before we point the spotlight on the problem: cis white people with wealth, and the systems that protect them from the consequences of their actions.
I don't want to talk about Black history yet. I want to talk about why if you grew up in the North or West, your high school history book likely talked about the "Articles of Secession,"
but if you grew up in the South, those parts are removed and lied about.🙂🙃
Disinformation.
You can literally go and read the "Declaration of Causes of Seceding States," primary documents written by confederates themselves, on why they are Seceding.

Some schools refuse to teach this.
People that got "As" in AP history, that didn't know this, are running to their favorite search engine right now to try and fact check this. Let's wait for them... ⏳
Why do US people not know their own history?
Before folks ask, "Why was I not taught this in school?!" Look at what DeSantis is doing to AP history in Florida. You know exactly why you weren't taught this in school. Because it's easier to get you to accept mistreatment of Black people, if you don't know white American history.
@drewharwell Talk doesn’t jack to Musk and his people! Leaving the bird site is the only way to punish these despicable people.
Yes, another sunrise photo. This one taken just a few minutes after the one I shared yesterday. The sun now above the horizon reflects in the wet sand. Each day begins in it's own unique way.

What is a Landscape? An abstract piece that seeks to answer that question. Modern and lots of blues.

I have OCD. When you see a piece like this from me, know that I hand placed every circle. I spent hours making them and placing them because it soothes me.

Okay, now that I'm catching on to the customs, it's clearly time for a new #introduction! (hashtags, Chaz, #hashtags...)
So, here I am, fresh from the #TwitterMigration, looking to find friends and like minds.
Professionally I've been a #writer all my working life: #novels and #ShortStories, across many genres but mostly fantasy, science fiction, horror, crime, romance.
Away from the keyboard I #cook obsessively, read likewise, and care for my disabled wife.
@chadloder He never will be because Twitter is owned by a white supremacist now.
In September 2021, Andy Ngo colluded with Proud Boys to endanger me and my son. Ngo tweeted out a video that was recorded illegally by far-right extremists trespassing on my property. The video shows me standing inside my home and it shows the interior of my small apartment including the area where my son sleeps.
Despite the court granting legal sanctions and a restraining order protecting me and my son from the violent Proud Boy responsible for the video, the video is still up on Ngo's Twitter account — showing a detailed view of the inside of the apartment and naming my city. https://theintercept.com/2021/11/10/proud-boys-antifascist-tweet-chad-loder-court/
@aramsinn Don't hide your books! Flaunt your books and fight these fascists, or there won't be anything left to fight for!
This is the saddest headline I've ever seen. And there have been a whole lot of sad headlines lately.
The sale on signed copies of my first book "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences" is almost over! Packard is a chapter and you also get a free 5x7 print, so it's a pretty solid deal. Here's the link if you're interested: https://www.dismantlingthedream.com/product-page/signed-copy-of-abandoned-america-the-age-of-consequences
Ella Irwin also explicitly directed Twitter to ban journalists like me. The fact that she has used her access to people's private messages should be a wake-up call to everyone on Twitter, especially journalists; how can you protect sources in a place like that?

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
