Chicago. Parent. Fat. Bisexual. Bipolar II. Loud. Still masking. Kind of cute if you squint. Nerdy, but in a way that's fairly socially acceptable now. I have a kid, Nikole, who is she/they and a spouse, N, who is he/him.

If you post queerphobic bullshit like "Elonia Musk" or two male politicians kissing or whatever then I'm blocking you.
You don't need to make "ewww gaaayyy" jokes about these dipshits. You can simply point to the actual harm they are actively doing. You don't need to make gay jokes period, in fact.

Okay, it's kinda funny there's outlets claiming no song from "American Idiot" is politically charged.
The fact this album about George Bush is STILL relevant only adds to how political it is. Every year that album ages just proves its points.
But maybe I'm the faggot, America.

4. Every goddamn piece of protest is performative. Everything about society is performative. That isn’t WRONG.
5. How do you know that the only thing these “liberals” are doing is knitting hats? Because I see these hats on school pickup duty, on neighborhood patrols, at grocery drop offs.

It’s more than disappointing to see people mocking the red knit hats.
1. The symbol was strong enough the Nazis banned them to stop people signaling their resistance to each other.
2. Sales of patterns have raised hundreds of thousands for mutual aid.
3. Not everyone can stand, shout, smuggle.

We're doing our Fallout S2 rewatch marathon and have jello in the fridge.
Lucy and Maximus are both protagonists but in a lot of ways Maximus has more Main Character Energy. Like Lucy is PoV character, she has adventures, she's got more screen time than Maximus but IDK...

Someone noted a pom hat generally does the trick; lots of people mentioned FUCK ICE buttons. Performativity takes on a whole different function when you're under occupation and your occupiers are trying to pass as locals.

They call it “persistent presence” and it’s a technique of war they have used in other parts of the world, notoriously in Somalia, which gives a new dimension to the cruelty of doing this to cities full of Somali refugees
In some cases they’re literally using the same Black Hawks even

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections
I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

Bezos fired the foreign correspondents without even giving them a plane ticket home. They should be able to sue his ass for everything. In the meantime give to their fund here.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Nothing has stopped in Minnesota.
These agents and the people who send them want nothing good for Minnesotans, just pain. They make that clear.
They cut off our state's childcare funding, small business loan funding, agriculture loan funding. Instead they send secret police.

"What's an antler count?" idk it's probably called something else that I can't remember BUT it consists of a bunch of kids and a handful of adults, often Boy Scouts, walking through a forest preserve/wooded area in a line the way that people search for missing children...
My mom was pals with folks at one of the the local nature preserves, which ran programs for kids and had taxidermied stuff and various animal parts (talons, teeth, a big deer hide, feathers). (they also ran antler counts)
If we saw a fresh roadkill bird my mom would bag it & freeze it.
