look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

seeing some increasingly weird interpretations of this statement? it's pretty clearly just trump saying "all these people who are now distancing himself from epstein only did that when they had to, i did it way before that." can't we just appreciate "enjoy what may be your last merry christmas"

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume/
breathes a life of gathering gloom;/
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,/
sealed in the stone-cold tomb

ok, so this is something I've thought a fair bit about, I've never been a practicing Christian but like, I know the lore
it's literally on a narrative level flashing forward to the death of a person while celebrating their birth and foregrounding them as a baby
it's just obviously morbid!

Apropos of nothing, using the cross as a symbol of Christmas is weird? Like, the cross is a Good Friday/Easter thing. You already have the star of Bethlehem and all of the other seasonal stuff.
That's like using the Magen David at Hanukkah; sure you can but the menorah and dreidel are right there.

I think one of the defining things about our era and about conservativism, is an inability to distinguish between like, the actual government, and mid-level marketing managers at Target (who choose "happy holidays" to avoid leaving out non-Christian customers)
In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

This is how I want people to be posting on Christmas. Do not try to convince Mark Cuban's goofy ass that universal healthcare is right. I want to see pleas for character actors to cleave them in twain with a broadsword. I want people volunteering to get kicked down the Exorcist steps by Alicia Witt.
