Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

No mourning or condolences for a right-wing fascist that wanted this.

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other god given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk

Yay, TikTok is back! Take a step back cause there’s a lot going on right now. Trump started this whole mess about a ban BUT democrats signed on and it was signed by Biden. Dems took a big L on this and Trump looks like the savior. TikTok has been restored (for now), but the ban is still in place.

If the interview goes well, I’ll be one step closer to getting my #PhD

Honestly, it was a relief to delete my Twitter accounts and I’m hoping it will be just as cathartic to delete my Facebook and Instagram accounts. I don’t know why I even have them, I check them maybe once every few months and post maybe once a year. Fuck Zuck and his capitulation to the right wing
