The goal of your life should not ever be "piss off so many people that it doesn't matter if you run in a gerrymandered election." Cause as they say in my neck of the woods, that's a hard row to hoe.

Because it's outrage in the open, in a way not caring about the results, what results, it's three more years no matter what, because what are they going to do about it, really? It's infuriating to know that we can't even dissolve our own government under the vitriol of raging despot.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Last budded roses have not yet succumbed to the cold, but I may need to snip them off and add a bit of water to get them into full bloom.
The hydrangeas simply turned brown and keeled over.

This world may be burning, and we may live under a despot, but at least I still live in a country where people do not pass funeral processions without pulling over or refusing to pass in the fast lane. From one county seat to the next, I saw it dozens of times.
I was one.
You can be one too.

Jesus H Roosevelt Christ, you guys leaped over the "emotional stability" ranking like it wasn't the highest red flag, and like it wasn't directly responsible for the other two rankings.
An NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey shows how the political gender gap persists alongside different social beliefs between Gen Z men and women.
Respondents were asked to select their top three choices that define success for them from a list of 13 phrases:

Let's be for fucking real: they'll throw up a glorified shed, new people will have to renovate to the studs by 2035, and we'll wonder where the other 199.9 million landed. All grift, all the time.

I am sick to death of the lie even before it appears. "Stole them from me" allows the rewritten narrative to embrace the Evangelical male protector role in sex trafficking without culpability.

So, you know about how daffodils are a sign of old house seats? Roses of sharon are the same markers. If someone planted a rose of sharon, and it looks like a roughed in foundation nearby, that is a sign that someone's house stood there a hundred years ago.

Radicalized doesn't mean anarchist or dangerous. It just means you're going really far out and hopefully taking everyone in your life with you. Joyful radicalism is the best revenge against sour staunchness.

Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted on receipts. Like, there was a factual, evidentiary trail. We've fallen so far as a country. I-- we'll, here's a picture of more gardens. We'll be in it to win it. It's tiring, but the world goes on.

I don't know if it's getting worse or if I'm just less tolerant of it, but people straight up do not read. I don't mean "books," though that's true. I mean they will literally reply to 200 characters after only reading the first ten. It's incredible to me.
