The Selma to Montgomery march was part of a series of civil rights protests that occurred in 1965 in Alabama, a Southern state with deeply entrenched racist policies. In March of that year, in an effort to register Black voters in the South, protesters marching the 54-mile route from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery were confronted with deadly violence from local authorities and white vigilante groups. As the world watched, the protesters—under the protection of federalized National Guard troops—finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomery, Alabama. The historic march, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s participation in it, raised awareness of the difficulties faced by Black voters, and the need for a national Voting Rights Act. :amerikkka:

Cat update from yesterday:
We gave her a box and some blankets and she spent most of yesterday resting in it, probably the most secure she’s been in awhile
Seems like she’s been living off of bugs in the sewers.
She finally started drinking water on her own after we fed her by a dropper most of the day.
Seems to be feelin better, just gonna try to keep getting food and fluids in her over the next couple days
Edit: cat vibin in her box
My cousin died on the street today. I thought he was safe in supportive housing, at least he was last time I saw him. He wasn't even in the same city. No idea what happened in between. He died in front of a combo rehab/emergency shelter. Police said they didn't suspect homicide or anything. Could've been anything, overdose, hunger, exposure, covid or pneumonia I have no idea.
He had some financial support because he had pretty hardcore schizophrenia, but between the supportive housing arrangement and his monthly government checks I thought he was 100% squared away. I could've checked in on him more often but he's on my asshole dad's side of the family, so I don't spend a lot of time with them now or growing up. I only met him a few times. I liked him, he took care of my granny a bit when she was in hospice/end-of-life care and would visit her every day. He was a hold out in a weird estate thing because he was worried the ghost of grandad would haunt him if he sold his portion and he refused to sign anything. The times we've met he seemed gentle and generally caring, I never understood why the family was so stand-offish around him but I was also shielded from any breaks or episodes growing up, too.
Gonna be honest, I thought the Vegan clique was going to win this struggle session, good things our secret police were monitoring their communication networks.
The cat just died suddenly and painfully today. More evidence that life is pointless and filled with nothing but pain. And no one will learn from this.
I would rather the mods ban a 1,000 libs than lose one more comrade to burnout
The scribes have already said, it will be the one who can both wield the Shield of Engels without their hand burning to ash and can finally pull the Sword of Marx from its pedestal.
Oh shit! My bands latest release is on spotify!
But i cant share it because of opsec :agony:
actually i checked, looks like we werent using full names

Was part of a split, i like to keep them together.
Also spotify link https://open.spotify.com/album/5sfUGSVTfOyEj2lvQuZto0?si=FjFXsxvdSKm2B1oEYOr45w
Just take the songs and pop em on a SoundCloud or YouTube and link it.
The music is published with my name, i think you can see the problem.
Besides, if I could share, i’d want people to find us. A real conundrum 👉🏼👈🏼
My personal thoughts there is to think. Would anyone really want to doxx you and if so is there really anything they can do to you? For me, any government agency or whatever really wouldn't get any new info from linking me to this account, my job is under no threat at all from internet weirdos cause I'm a cook, any friends that someone can socially engineer away from me via internet history was either shitty or I would deserve it and if someone wants to come at physically they would be risking severe reprisal, not a tough guy personally but I am likeable and have a lot of friends that are okay with jail.
Perhaps it’s paranoia?
Thinking on the Beatnik thing, they could construct a barely passable simulacrum of what kind of behaviors I could have, coupled with things I talked about once. i’ve already pushed it a few times here.
Also reciprocity, I could say something that gets linked back to this acct, back to hexbear. It’s as much for all of you, as it is for me.
That's why I was saying think of your personal situation and what the consequences really could even be. In the case of Beatnik the consequences are a lot different, being a site admin makes you a clear target and we as an audience were of course going to have to not just dismiss it as crap, that's a vulnerability that was specific to that person. Playing it as safe as possible is of course always the best bet but it is good to consider your particular situation. Hell, if you have little risk of consequence from being doxxed it might even be better to be less careful to give potential threats an easy bread trail that leads nowhere. I'd never blame anyone for erring on the side of privacy though, it is the best default.
That feels dirty just to make people listen to my band.
Why do I have to have such a sensitive conscious?
You're not making us. I asked you for a way to hear it, in all honesty there's a pretty small chance it'll even be to my taste but you did a thing that you're proud of and it must be online for some people to hear it right? Obviously don't expect everyone to be into it but please don't be afraid to share your art.
I'll go first! Jere's the last thing I did that's online, there's next to no reason anyone should like it. I also did the art which I am really proud of tho.

I decided why the fuck not, link to the music is on the top post of the thread
I'm listening now. Just started on the first track but since most random music people post on the internet isn't usually my jam.. I AM SURPRISED PLEASANTLY. I love me some screamo and this is legit good quality stuff
Is the name a Discordian reference or just a Greek mythology one? Also are you planning on getting this pressed or just digital? I would legit but this record and if you do want to get a record out I might actually be able to help you get a run out.
Couldnt tell you much about the name, i joined Pique at the start of last year, and Apostles of Eris is an offshoot of MRTEX if I’m not mistaken.
Oh It's a split. I'm crust oriented more than anything but in the mid 90s there was a time where screamo was actually mostly in the crust as far as shows go and there were a lot of crusty screamo bands ala His Hero is Gone. My 43 year old Stenchcore as fuck roomate can tell ya and there's some sick bands from that time as well. Check out .NEMA from Montreal sometime.
If I can throw one criticism down I'm noticing as info through this, a few of the slow tech bits are a little samey Edit: wait are both bands on the split here? Cause that may be the other band having a couple similar bits.
It may feel dirty, cause you're thinking of how pushy music can be at times, but you're sharing your art, probably won't like, make a ton of money of us haha. Don't feel guilty! We share things with our fellow humans all the time
Alright, guess i better start thinking of funny alts in the meantime.
AM durnk right now but I like this. Very soul ful reminds me of vampire the masquerade with that one game let it die. Good job Grown
Tell a comrade you love them today! George Soros will promptly mail you a hundred dollar bill.
real shit though, Soros and Xi should actually be sending me checks for the amount of simping I do on their behalf
now I'm imagining airdropping propaganda pamphlets that have bitcoin redemption codes to poor americans lmao
I always appreciate your optimism and positivity, Quill, love you comrade :stalin-heart:
thanks :comfy:
Love you too comrade :cat-trans: !
edit: oh shit a Red envelope with $100 bill in it just fell out of a crack in my ceiling wtf
I'm going to the hospital to visit my grandma. Possibly the last time I'll see her...
Our condolences :chavez-salute:
Tell her everything, leave nothing unsaid.
Friendship temporarily ended with Paradox games :morshupls:
Stardew Valley is now my best friend :penguin-dance:
I want to get back into stardew valley but the last time I played it I ended up with pages of hand drawn crop calendars and ROI spreadsheets, and I'm afraid of falling into that hole again.
Layers of the atmosphere ranked:
- Stratosphere, we love our ozone, don't we folks?
- Exosphere, the final lap to outer space (that's cool)
- Troposphere, on one hand this is where good weather happens and on the other this is where bad weather happens
- Thermosphere, I respect how big it is but nothing else
- Mesosphere, I fucking hate this layer. bunch of madeup bullshit.
Thermosphere, I respect how big it is but nothing else
the thermosphere also gets space hurricanes just sayin
I'm so disconnected that I didn't even realize Spring started yesterday.
