You became part of the problem, when you were supposed to care about trans people.

Which is fair to a certain point, but I still think people need to be careful before the BECOME the "proof" that empathy is a sin.

Exactly. Red states face some of the most gerrymandering and the worst voter suppression. Also, statistically, mosy of PoC populations live in those states. So I guess fuck us racial minorities who VASTLY vote democratically.

Also, I don't think you should screw over people in your local community that rely on those taxes for aide and help. It also means you might not qualify for tax benefits you didn't even know you had.

Do not be stupid about your taxes.

And if you do want to keep up with that kind of rhetoric, it shows you don't know a lot of elder queers like myself, and you can kick rocks.

You may be queer but you're not safe for the queer community if you're all right with coming across like conservative gays playing pick-me.

This is my people's effort to ensure our language doesn't die out. I highly encourage everyone to start with Cherokee 1.

Damn it really looks like he did

I absolutely adore this look.

Agreed. It reminds me of when Saint unironically wore a shirt with Stalin on it-- to my it's absolutely insane to see people supporting Stalinism.

Did none of y'all learn anything from the fact that Stalin was a fucking psychopath?

The idea that Stalin was inept and foolish instead of knowing full well what he was doing and banking on having enough support to do it without people stopping him isn't an idea I sit comfortably with.

Stalin wasn't foolish or inept. He knew what he was doing and exactly how to get it done.

I mean Stalin actively ordered the deaths of millions, usually through starvation and brutal mass killings, so, yes. He was a genocidal maniac.

The 1937 order No. 00447 that called for the mass execution and exile of “socially harmful elements” as “enemies of the people” is, in fact, genocide.

I'll have to check that out!

I won't spoil too much of the movie if no one's seen it yet, but I highly recommend it.

It's a brilliant bit of satire that uses a sharp, singular focus to talk about a broad range of topics, and it does it super well.

You're not supposed to want anyone but Margo (the Final Girl, if you will) to survive. The movie makes it okay to feel good about her surviving and others not because that's the point!

These rich culture vultures aren't good people. You're not supposed to be rooting for them or the villain.
