no no no no no

oh god oh no
theyve done it
put the shovel in the environmental movement

first you know
they jail the radicals

then they feed concessions
to the liberals

finally theyll make money off it
that part has been going on
for like the last decade
trying to string the economy along
put a bandaid on a headshot

what a mockery

we have been so insulted
but people will be laughing

this while the planet is crumbling
in 10 years the democrats
will run a presidential candidate
with a green nonprofit background

call something so basic
as mowing the white house lawn
with a push-mower
progress

this shit will be the death of us

inspiration for the modern hobo

i watched the first disney movie in a long time tonight that i actually liked

the journey of natty gann

it's about a little lady during the depression hopping trains and eating out of garbage cans and generally escaping THE MAN's clutches on the way to reunite with her dad in washington after he had to leave her behind looking for work

so it's obviously like a disney movie family values kid with animal feel-good times etc and so on
but one thing i liked about it besides the occasional swear and a little bit of smoking and violence and general riffraffery is a young strong female protagonist

kind of reminds me of katniss of the hunger games fame
so i guess i would be wrong to say they wouldn't make a movie like the journey of natty gann today because they sort of have even though the hunger games is a dystopia and natty gann takes place in the real world arguably also dysoptian but i digress

this scene towards the beginning of the buxom middle-aged hotel owner powdering her face and bullying scrappy natty around in her fathers absence reminds me of the makeup debates going on in the feminist blogging circles

im inclined to be like yeah
sgood to feel empowered when everything tries to take your agency away
just as important to realize that what you do with your agency is important too - you know jumping trains organizing shit workplaces and fighting oppression blah blah blah

disney movie for cryin out loud! i haven't seen this much capital-r RRResistance in a disney movie in anything before or after 1985
