I think there should be a comfortable place you can just set your brain to rest for a while. Like, you’ve had enough thoughts, time for a rest.

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Men refusing to learn to cook really makes me so angry. I can’t even imagine just being comfortable with various women throughout your life laboring so you can eat and not feeling bad at all about it. 😒

Do not lose hope.
You are not alone.
Most of America rejects this.
The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism.
And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.

This accusation that women being slutty and trashy are "setting back feminism" is what I would call Respectability Feminism, the idea that women can further their position in society by being more respectable. And like all respectability politics, it's bullshit.

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians.
I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally.

I just want ppl to understand that minimizing someone’s anxiety actually makes the anxiety worse. When you validate an anxious person you are putting them at ease with your reassurance. People with anxiety need more reassurance than the average person.
