I have an idea of how we deal with the increasingly widening wealth gap. We start fresh with new currency and the rich people don’t get any. Then they have to actually work to earn some.

Wet Leg Moisturizer may just be my album of the year. While No Peeling’s 7 song, 8 minute EP might be my recording of the year.
And yes, that’s two queer women topping my list.

Saying this as a parent.
Parents have obligations toward their kids. Not the other way around.
If a parent is abusive, manipulative, or damaging, children have every right to cut them out of their lives.
No one is obligated to put up with abuse from a parent. That's not how it works.

I hate that the World Juniors is on the NHL network. I’m not paying for another streaming channel and the NHL is not the IIHF.
I follow Junior Hockey and this is the only time of year that I cannot actually watch it in the states without dishing out even more $$$$$

“I didn’t vote to kill your trans son, I voted because…”
That’s when I cut him off and shouted “I don’t care WHY you voted for them, the reason doesn’t matter. The fact is that you voted to kill my trans son!”
He has never come back to another one of my gigs. And I’m not sorry.

Evidently this person hasn’t been paying attention to democrats since Reagan.
We lost to Bush, Bush II, Trump and Trump II. Don’t underestimate the Dem’s capability of fucking it up and Republican voter’s capability of being even dumber.
