You remember a couple Pres. elections ago when the Republicans were describing 'Taco trucks on every corner' as some hellscape scenario? So this tracks with their weird phobia.

Debate is a hobby.

It’s not a thing you do to understand another person.

Listening is a thing you do to understand someone.

i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.

It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.

I am expecting a new industry of companies to pop up, building camps and facilities to get a piece of this money pie. Likely friends of people in this administration.

On the off chance you honestly don't know: RFK claimed people with autism aren't able to do things like 'pay taxes' 'hold a job' or even 'write a poem'.

As one who can all three, I (dis)respectfully call bullshit. Which is what this shirt is about.

There is one like that in the U.S... you should see how many one-star reviews it gets online from visitors for being 'political' 🙄

"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.
