@2legged@mastodon.ie These corrupt idiots will use any excuse to call someone a terrorist.
Device has microphone? "must be a terrorist." (some British cop)
Doesn't like fascism? "must be a terrorist." (Trump)
Is transgender? "must be a terrorist." (Trump)
Is holding a blank piece of paper in protest? "must be a terrorist." (Putin)
I remember when these kinds of words meant something. I don't want to be defamed as the same maniacs who wants me dead, just for simply having a recording app on my phone.

@2legged@mastodon.ie I just realised that I don't need to manufacture an IKD. (improvised karaoke device) I can just buy a pre-built one from a department store for about 150 dollars or less.

@alice_pea_3526@mastodon.social In these times, I find myself returning a lot to Louis MacNeice's poem 'Prayer Before Birth'. I wish that after nearly 90 years, it wasn't so damned relevant. https://www.oatridge.co.uk/poems/l/louis-macniece-prayer-before-birth.php
