Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus.
In the United States.
In 2025.
“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

“it is possible for two things to be different amounts of bad” has broken so many brains
He correctly points out that horrendous plagues of police brutality existed under both Dem and GOP administrations. But the idea that what ICE/CBP are doing is merely business as usual rather than an extreme escalation of the evil, and the *implication* that Harris would be invading MN too...?

Who takes notes and does the dishes for the revolution is a political matter. Look around you at your organizing meetings. If women are always the ones keeping minutes, assign a man. If women are always volunteering to get shit going, assign some men.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂

We were not supposed to need to literally re-enact the Revolution on the 250th anniversary of 1776, but here we are. The President thinks he is King George and we have had two Boston Massacres in less than a month.
This fucking sucks.

Americans don't accept Kings or Nobles. The modern aristocracy may have forgotten, but they are about to learn just like their forebears did through first principles.

The world may surprise you; I'd recommend against reading too much into your future, particularly if you're depressed, because it's pretty much the arc I followed up until that point and the future I ended up getting was not the future I expected.

I am blocking ANY fuckface who insists you need to watch the shooting or you're failing democracy. CPTSD is not going to make anyone functional in the face of a terrorist regime, you assholes. You need clear heads to navigate this and secondary trauma is not a helper. You look fucking ignorant rn.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
