We need to have a conversation about the differences between rituals and witchcraft and satanists and Satanic rituals and the Satanic Panic that is still a thing.
But I don’t think we’re ready for that conversation.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

Republicans running anti-trans hatefests lost and Zohran Mamdani is a hugely vocal supporter of trans and other LGBTQ rights.
That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on.
Roll around in all this & soak it in. This is the good shit, & it should be celebrated.

Mamdani was voted for by more people in this one election than voted for Kristi Noem in all of her elections combined (SD state rep two terms, US rep three terms, and two terms as SD governor)
Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

This is my last day off. Grace period up tomorrow so we have to do this BEFORE I SLEEP TONIGHT
Stuck at 820/1740 needed to pay the rent. If we can't we'll get issued a pay-or-vacate and have to pay an extra $400.
I'm exhausted. It's been a weekend of fear. PLEASE HELP OR BOOST! 😭

So. October!
Still coming back from Covid and adjusting to a strenuous part time position.
Our 10th wedding anniversary is on the 10th. We never had a honeymoon and we had a tiny flash wedding.
If we could make Progress towards the full goal in this first week of Oct, it would mean the WORLD.

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”
