I'm calling them Flutters!

"You don't consider" is what you literally started that with, to me, lol... I'm not centering myself, I'm commenting only on what I've experienced. I was asking you for the same input, because the comment you replied to was ALSO someone commenting just from what they've lived & experienced...

Again I was born in 84, so none of that I was alive for (or at least remember, for Reagan). But it's definitely good to have reminders of other horrors that have happened that (to this point) are worse.
For me, it's more shameful because with all those things in the past - we *should* be better now.

I absolutely agree that it's not the worst or most shameful atrocity in our country's history by a long stretch (and please God let it not usurp those events), but this thread is purely about what we've been alive to see, not all of US History. The continued horrid treatment, absolutely agree on.

I've been calling them Flutters over here lol... but I'm seeing most calling it a post.

Oh yes for sure that is needed here too!
November 30, 2024 at 2:12 PM
Hate when that happens! Def need the edit, but at least we have an easy copy option if needed!

*waves to Skipper excitedly* Hi Skipper! Thank you! Enjoy your cute little clown! 💜

Oh how fun! I was listening to Nothing More, Disturbed, and Beartooth tonight, doing the exact same thing! 💜🤘🤘💜🤘🤘💜

Disgustingly so but yes, yes, you have it right. 🤬

Honestly, he should never have been able to run the first time for so many reasons.... but when he did that at a political rally, and they didn't disown him they just voted for him?!?!? I knew we were a lost cause.

I'm still mad, not sad, too.

You can right-click and copy post, delete the errored one, and then repaste it and fix the error... that is the only way I can find!

They are saying in their 38 years existing here, they've never felt this ashamed of their country. Nothing else...

As someone born in 84, hard agree, same here.

Do you consider those other historical events you called out more shameful, or less than this? Since you mentioned them & all...

Whole family was ecstatic and edges of our seats for that one! Go Lions!

Ohmygoshthepreciousbabyissoprecious! *gasps*

They're only following ELEVEN accounts?!?! Yikes.

You were one of the first I looked for when I came over! Happy to see you here!

Weird as it may sound, I would look for Facebook groups/pages/creators of/for those types of people, and then see which have a Discord for it. She is a white trans creator, but Mercury Stardust (the Trans Handyma'am) has one and has curated it similarly & done it from her IG & FB sites!

I've honestly never understood people not wanting to read diverse characters. It's SO satisfying to read about something you don't know firsthand & learn different perspectives! They are absolutely missing out on amazing things.

Any standout recs/authors you love to get people to read? TIA!
