Data shows once your township goes above 50,000 it goes blue, pretty much automatically. Think about that & why it is.

They tried, and some of the live actions haven’t been TERRIBLE…but they just didn’t quite have the formula 🤌 I feel like you need a lead actor on Glenn’s level to elevate it? Idk

Oh for sure. I could DEFINITELY not say that the BPD were ever helpful to sexual assault victims — they’ve had plenty of scandals on that in their own regard.

But what Occupy was offering then was like, let’s all sit around and talk about it?! I agree — you may as well be in evangelical circles :-/

Truth is some people have very pie in the sky notions that all people will just naturally behave well if they were allowed to “be free” and that is an attitude you can only have if you’ve lived an extremely privileged & safe life. It’s not reality.

Occupy DC hit a separate end of the road when its leaders defied an injunction to move their camp despite the fact that there were homeless people there who were going to lose every possession they had bc it would be seized by the cops.

Nobody remembers all this but I remember. The North Remembers!

And it was like…for what? Does this community that was newly formed two weeks ago have counselors trained in sexual violence? Does it have a safety council capable of removing someone who is an ongoing threat? Does it have rape kits or transportation to a hospital that does? What are the resources?

Nobody remembers now bc so much collective trauma has happened since, but Occupy Baltimore hit the skids bc someone sexually assaulted someone in the camp & the victim rightfully reported it to the police, & the camp leaders responded by putting out a flier saying don’t do that, talk to us instead ☹️

Because her mere existence as a candidate was seen as “identity politics” regardless of what her actual platform was.

They haven’t read MANSFIELD PARK?

Democratic city with a Black mayor. Also, lawn work/leaf collection/gutter & roof work is still in full swing there (but done in Chicago) and they are trying to sweep up outdoor workers in the easiest way possible. I believe they plan to rotate seasonally for that reason :-/

She’s done exactly one interview (for NEW YORK magazine) in the entire time they’ve been together. In 2018, in response to Dylan writing about her allegations. And Woody sat by her side throughout that interview and called the reporter to “correct her quotes” afterwards.

Women of reproductive age fleeing Gilead…who’d have thunk it

Tbh I think they knew of Andrew’s proclivities going way back (thus why they were so determined that Charles needed to marry someone other than Camilla & produce heirs, they could not let it pass to him) but I’m sure having the evidence be out there is not something they could withstand.

Which is not good if you’re trying to promote interaction! For all the “reducing toxicity” BlueSky devs talk about, they could probably eliminate a lot of it by just getting rid of that feed.

I go on it sometimes just to switch things up bc the Following tab can suffer from the fact that people got into bad posting habits to manipulate the Twitter algorithm (i.e., posting constantly, saying the same exact thing every day all day). But Discover doesn’t actually do much discovery.

Tbh, if it were up to me I would just eliminate the Discover tab for this reason. Ideally, it would show some combo of accounts from feeds a person has chosen to follow — topics they’re actually enthusiastic about! — but it only shows politics for the most part and it’s creating a negative vibe.

Oh lord… m.youtube.com/watch?v=DksS...

This is her THIRD flop movie (Americana? Eden? Now this) this year tho 😭

They gotta give up on her eventually

How about instead of talking to psychics & ChatGPT…go to law school & talk to a professor 🙃
