Like, there are a lot of reasons why I don’t post selfies anymore. A big part of it is that the last three years of my life have been hell, and it shows, and I can’t quite reconcile myself with that reality yet.

But also, the closer we get to an absolutely explicitly authoritarian government, and a brutality-first police force emboldened by both a government that backs them and a judiciary now heavily stacked towards supporting them, I know full well that all it takes is a few more twitches further to the reichright…  and all it will take is some cop who knows they won’t suffer consequences to face ID me, see my history, and come up with an excuse to hassle me.

To say nothing of when right-wing shithead hate groups get their hands on this in future decades.
