Hobipalooza tonight! July 31st

Fierce Planet Posted on July 31, 2022 by jnfrAugust 3, 2022

Catch j-hope’s set on Hulu, scheduled for 10 p.m. eastern time. May have been extended. May start early. I wanted to give a shout-out to DeafArmyEducation, who arranged to ensure Hobi’s set had ASL interpreters. Armys! If you’re wondering how there is a request for interpreters for #Jhope performance. I AM THE ONE who reach out to Amber Interpreting Production Team to confirm they are interpreters & request them for J-hope’s performance. They are aware of our Deaf Army fanbase. ☺️ + pic.twitter.com/vkTTl4Nu2j — Deaf Army Education⁷ (slow) 🤟💜 (@deafarmyedu) July 31, 2022 Edit to add, 8/1: What a night! … Continue reading →

Hobipalooza — Checking in with ARMY

Fierce Planet Posted on July 27, 2022 by jnfrJuly 27, 2022

Continuing thoughts on the complexities of ARMY, only peripherally about j-hope.💜 Quite long. I have looked again and again at the My White House Day With Army post. I don’t write romantic. I really never write romantic. And yet this is the most romantic thing I can imagine writing in my entire life. I’ve thought a dozen times that I should delete it, but I can’t. All I see is an honest account of exactly how I felt that day. It was a peak day in my life, and though I’m embarrassed, I can’t be sorry for it. We’re all … Continue reading →

And this comes as no surprise

Fierce Planet Posted on July 22, 2022 by jnfrJuly 22, 2022

Read the whole thing, then contact your Congresscritters and state officials. Demand that all Americans have their full rights respected. We can’t let these bigots determine how we live our lives. Gift link, should get you past the paywall for a while. After Roe, Republicans Sharpen Attacks on Gay and Transgender Rights Since the Supreme Court decision last month overturning Roe v. Wade, anti-gay rhetoric and calls to roll back established L.G.B.T.Q. protections have grown bolder….many Republican officials and candidates across the country have made attacking gay and transgender rights a party norm this midterm season. In Texas, Attorney General … Continue reading →

The great disconnect

Fierce Planet Posted on July 20, 2022 by jnfrJuly 20, 2022

The Globe and Mail of Canada presents a lot of polling data showing how the people of the United States have grown more progressive in nearly every area of public policy, and on most measures of cultural significance as well. And, as we have noted, conservatives have worked hard for decades to impose conservative policies on the nation even as this liberal greening has continued. This is a recipe for disaster. Americans are more liberal and tolerant than ever. Too bad about their institutions …Those aren’t cherry-picked figures: It is hard to find any area of values or beliefs where … Continue reading →

Beyond the Scenes ~ The Daily Show ~ July 12, 2022

Fierce Planet Posted on July 13, 2022 by jnfrAugust 1, 2022

The whole episode is worth a listen, starting off with Roy Woods, Jr. interviewing Jordan Klepper and his field producer about their Daily Show segments with MAGA types on Jan. 6, and other strange people at other rallies. I’ve set this up to start at a later segment (at 38:42), where Chris Hayes talks about the events of January 6th, and what they might mean for our future elections. Below the video I’ve included a transcript of a portion of this discussion that seems especially pertinent to those future elections. As always, any transcription errors are my own. Transcript from … Continue reading →

They are just getting started

Fierce Planet Posted on July 8, 2022 by jnfrJuly 8, 2022

As I said earlier, it is important not to accept this Roe decision as normal, or as status quo. The Christian Nationalists have no intention of stopping here, no intention of letting those of us still living in free states live our lives as we wish. They intend to stomp on us all unless we conform to their religious dictates—no feminists, no queers, no history or discussion of the lives of people of color, certainly no movement forward on issues of equality and justice for workers, families, or those who live in poverty. This New York Times article reports on … Continue reading →

My White House Day with ARMY

Fierce Planet Posted on June 9, 2022 by jnfrAugust 14, 2022

ARMY is the collective name for fans of the k-pop group BTS. To be ARMY is to be part of a community, and that community is made of love. To be ARMY is to have a constant source of hope and joy, and also to feel seen and comforted in your darkest moments. ARMY fans can be found in all countries, in all languages, of all ages, of all races, of all genders and identities. I am 68 years old, bisexual and married, in rather poor health, with a long life behind me as a progressive activist. I have lived … Continue reading →
