1 min and 45 secs, that's how long the phone call with my sister lasted to tell her happy birthday.
I brought up the stock market crash as an excuse for why i didn't call yesterday. She said, "it will rebound." Then, "i don't want to talk politics," and hung up.
People are still in denial.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

When did parents stop wanting their children to be smarter/better than them?
I want mine to have a happier, healthier, and more prosperous life than I had.
The, "I want my kids to be able to say slurs," parents are garbage.

She thinks she’s the victim because her high schooler told her he’s not allowed to say “r*tard” at school.
She’s absolutely indignant. She thinks it’s her right to throw slurs at special needs kids.

The most frustrating thing about this "debate" is that we already live in the world right-wingers say they want: Vanishingly few trans people play sports; medical providers require long assessments before transition.
You cannot appease bigots because their stated concerns are not based in reality.
You cannot appease bigots because their stated concerns are not based in reality.
Throwing trans people under the bus is morally wrong and it would not do a goddamn thing to help Democrats, it would just demoralize the base even more.
Precisely zero anti-trans bigots are ever going to vote Dem. None. Not a single one.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.
