New convert to cats as pets

Will probably post more about them than I will Mormonism

He/Him
I just had a security guard at The Highline ask me if I was a local after he saw me waste a predatory hustler's time.

It's just so nice to know I'm enough of an asshole to pass for a New Yorker. Seriously, it's an immense compliment.

I tripped over a dustpan and let out a hearty 'fuck'

But it was a joyous, celebratory 'fuck' because today I'm grateful for Christ—thanks to Him I can say 'fuck' in a perfect, resurrected body one day.

Spencer Cox is a shill for fascists. Sending people to a repressive foreign prison based on the whims of ICE is criminal.

Sad to see that the current Wendy's tweets will never again have the fearlessness of the OG team.

Amy Brown may have gained a career from her time managing the Wendy's account, but we all lost a lighthouse in a world of stormy cyberstorms
wendys made me a decent cheeseburger last week but katy perry hasn’t made anything good since 2013
I choose Wendy’s over Katy Perry any day and twice on Sunday.

One of my big fears is that there would be a new Kent State massacre and people would be so brainwashed that they wouldn’t even be horrified because we’ve fallen so far but that is pretty much actually what happened at Kent State

The lady at the vet clinic asked my cat "oh, are you a little Pokemon"?

And then it got awkward.

Do I answer for my cat? Do I do a little squeaky voice when I do? AM I NOW EXPECTED TO SPEAK FOR MY CAT?

I just looked at her all confused and then she took the cat away to give her her shots.

A few weeks ago, Mormons with Hope (MWH) had a demonstration at the UT capitol

MWH is a group of leftist (not liberal) Mormons who are committed to pushing back against the fascist undertones of the American LDS church

Mormons aren't doomed to fascism—many of us are fighting back successfully
I believe the knee jerk rejection of the Democratic Party by a large majority of US LDS, leaving Trump as their preferred alternative, has had a devastating effect on the church as non-Trump aligned members left. It becomes a negative feedback loop as church becomes more toxic for non Trumpers
Rod Decker on the political/religious divide in Utah:

“…Utah has the most religiously divided electorate of any state…every other religion or no religion, votes pretty strongly Democratic...
…Utah would be one of the most Democratic states if no Mormons could vote.”

I think Changelings are inherently autistically coded. "Someone swapped my perfect precious baby for this fae thing that doesn't act like he's supposed to." Sounds like an Autism Speaks parent!

In Spanish we have a saying: "When the devil dies, everyone suddenly speaks well of him".

Those who knew Love personally can certainly mourn her, but I don't believe in condemning people for expressing public relief at the death of a public figure who was as harmful and cruel as Love was.

Having done a fair bit of ketamine, I can absolutely see how it can break your reality if you're not careful about it (I did it under medical supervision and it was still extremely disorienting)

Rationalism makes a lot more sense once you realize all their proponents are unmoored from reality

Did we buy him a cat wheel because we love him?

No, it's because we're jealous he gets to loaf all day and we want him to feel the inescapable death cycle of capitalism as well.

Curious why we don't see much Broken Windows Theory applied to police

You let cops get away with little crimes like parking illegally and passing out “get out of traffic ticket” cards to friends & family. Next thing you know they’re killing unarmed civilians and abusing their spouses at high rates

I know Democrats essentially t-balled every horrific thing that Trump is now able to do, but he's so awful that I do find myself missing when they were uselessly in power.

Too many of the kids I grew up with in Aurora are now dead or in prison—I'm sure many of these parents saw these jobs as ways to keep kids away from gangs.

This is what happens when social programs aren't funded—capital instead exploits us under the guise of "providing opportunity"
