I quite concur. There is no room at the inn for you.
Listen...
If you STILL support Trump (or Poilievre), I have to assume you are far too stupid, hateful, or brainwashed to communicate with.
I don't need you in my comments or my friend list.
Leave.
No one wants you.
Fuckin' dummies.

The road to fascism is paved with the bodies of the marginalized people who were ignored after being told they were overreacting.

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social:

CDC removes data on sexual orientation, gender identity from website
Data from an expansive federal survey on youth behavioral habits, including their sexual orientation and gender identity, have been removed from the website of the CDC.

As the OP notes the ban will cost the Dems the GenZ/younger Millenial vote for a long time, but implications are far greater than that. While it comes @end of a Dem govt, it effectively supports MAGA/Far-Right agenda of destroying where marginalized individuals and communities survive and thrive.
Pouring one out for TikTok. There are a lot of people, including queer and trans people, whose lives will be wrecked by the decision to ban it. It will also significantly reduce the ability of young queer people to see positive representations of themselves.

It’s a sad day for many.

Oh my God stop with the think pieces and conversations about the idea of Canada being the 51st state as a kind of reality instead of insane ramblings by a fascist jackass that must be fought against tooth and nail. Come the fuck on.

How do adult Theatre Kids spend NYE? 12 hours binge-watching 5 different productions of "Much Ado About Nothing," dissecting their various aspects for our own amusement!

(4yrs of COVID has made us all cautious re:crowded NYE events. A small cadre, Shakespeare & sushi? A fave gathering plan.)

I fell off socials for a while as Life got end-of-year crunchy but this morning I'm pleasurescrolling BSky to remind myself there is still a world of beauty worth exploring (while everything here in North America insists on going to shit...). Thank you, purveyors of joy & delight!

United Health's stock went up nearly 1% today after the assassination of their CEO. This is the market telling us that assassinating CEOs is good for the economy.

The free market has spoken.

For my fellow living history reenactors!
I have made a starter pack for reenactment and living history, all periods. Please share it with anyone who might be interested and let me know if you would like to be added.
It would be lovely to connect on here with more people who dress up and pretend to be history people!

I know temptation and old habits call us, but remember friends: when an anon rando with no platform has a weird bad take

You can just block them

I know, the optimists amongst us think that surely a person wearing the trappings of reason can be reasoned with

Don't do it
