Here’s a reminder from an actual 14 year old about what a child even IS. If adults are out here debating the “acceptable age” of abuse, then kids aren’t the ones who need to grow up. ✨sources✨ https:/...

our crossing guards do mission impossible and I am so thankful for all of them, but JFC the fact that we need "Guards" to simply ensure drivers don't run over school children?
This is what is so twisted about our auto obsessed culture that we don't even see how we've completely normalized this.

It super sucks. All the doctors are using them now & I really hate saying 'no, thank you' when I'm asked if it's ok for them to use assistive note-taking. I know they have a lot on their plates & I'm sure scheduling has tightened to 'allow' for the use of this new tech. But ew.
It's ok to say no.

By my calculations according to her Wiki article, Megyn Kelly has a daughter who's around 14/15.
I wonder how she would feel if her own daughter was subject to the attentions of a grown man.
Epstein & friends were/are child rapists. There's no weaseling that, nor excusing it 😡

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

How come it's only "unity" when party leaders like it, and not when the actual electorate does? Looking at what happened in NYC recently & scratching my head.
Feels like rather than unity you want us to fall in line?
Run better candidates, make better policy, stand up & fight.

Stuff like this empowers the worst people to exercise their worst impulses. Some 57 year old white lady is going to report a 24 yr old who’s just trying to pay her fucking rent with a 3rd job for not smiling and get her fired because her manager is an asshole. Gross. Keep boycotting.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

This is why we need to tax the rich. Honestly, the 'Golden Age' of America that so many people are nostalgic for was brought about by the wealthy paying their fair share. We had a reasonable social safety net. An actual living wage. Affordable higher education. (and yes- a lot of that was gatekept..
Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Yeah sorry. This has a clear and unequivocal answer and anybody who is not a WS wouldn't hesitate for even a second to distance themselves from that ideology immediately.
A non-answer is nearly as loud as a resounding endorsement, honestly.
