I'm not worried about the licensing. I'm saying it doesn't look good up close. It's sloppy and obvious. Which is too bad, because it's a great concept. They should have paid a queer artist to actually create the image for them.

Except this looks all wonky if you pull it up. You can tell everything was just placed over a stock image. The HRC specifically looks wrong - it caught my eye immediately as looking tacked on afterward. If you want to make a big, cool statement graphic, this ain't the way.

No I figured out why it looks weird. Someone took an already existing eagle image and added in the harness, makeup, etc. That's why it looks wonky. It's just gussied up stock art. That's kind of not cool. www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/2...

Why does the HRC symbol on the harness look like it was photoshopped in on top of something else?

That stretch never made a profit. Now the tracks are owned by companies that ship goods and Amtrak doesn't want to pay what it would cost to buy schedule space.

That was the last Muppet movie in which Richard Hunt voiced Janice. She hasn't sounded quite right since then.

Some people just don't like cringe humor and watching people embarrass themselves. I've seen a lot of the office and it largely made my skin crawl. I can tell it's well written, I can see why people like it, but it's not for me.

Hey, how's your blood pressure?

I'd love to see your sources on that.

In 2000, I was on a greyhound headed for Cali. In western states, law enforcement stopped the bus and went down the aisle checking docs on anyone who was brown/had an accent. They removed people, loaded them into a truck, and took them away. We have always lived in a country like that.

I don't see Democrats doing a damn thing about it either, honestly.

I remember when I was a queer teen in the early mid 90s. I used to hunt down any gay-related catalog I could get my hands on (teeshirts, gay cruises, jewelry for homos) and save them. I'd read them until they were shreds because they were proof that there was a community out there somewhere.

I've said most of those things in Host Voice because of you.

I don't know, that's a good question. Any system that allows the populace to vote in a fascist regime that strips the country for parts, sells citizens into slavery in different countries, and rips the civil rights from people is a failed system.

I think you're adding the "there's no hope anymore" part. It's frustrating to talk to people - mostly registered Democrats - who are stuck in this mindset of working within the system to vote them out. There are many things we are and can be doing, but few of them involve voting.

I think it's pretty important for people to be aware that just hanging on for four years and working to vote them out probably isn't a viable option at this point.
