Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.

Adding to this: the volunteers are usually doing this thinking they’re helping. Please don’t be unkind to them- at best, you’re ruining someone’s attempt at a good deed, at worst, you’re confirming an “evil queers and libs are out to get us” agenda.

Don’t give them a cent! But don’t flip them off.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Not only do the grifters want to steal everything artists have ever created, but now they want taxpayers to foot the bill for their ecology-wrecking plagiarism goop machines. (WaPo article; the headline says it all.)

Here’s what I firmly believe about climate catastrophes: the answer is never to place blame or to shrug and say certain people need to “just move.”

There is no place that isn’t going to need help in some kind of a catastrophe.

"Square Waves."

They were recently spotted off Anna Maria Island and are known as a cross sea, when two swells meet to form a checkerboard pattern. They are best to observe from a distance and can be dangerous. (Credit: Rick Thress)
