Chinese eat rats!!! Trump, JD Vance, and the Republican Party are just engaging in the deeply racist American trope of "immigrants need to be hated, expelled, or killed" because they eat pets, bugs, or rats. No truth to it back then; no truth to it now. Just hate.

People do this shit with Florida all the time. Fuck you if you feel this way. I didn't vote for these assholes and a lot of Texans didn't either. We're probably fighting these assholes more than you are with your "fuck Florida" or "fuck Texas" tweets. A lot of us can't just up and move either.
Texas is a huge state with an almost evenly divided electorate. That means there are millions of marginalized people living in a christofascist authoritarian nightmare with little voice in the government bent on oppressing them.
My GOD people are such assholes

More people need to understand that "research" isn't the same thing as "looking up crazy sh*t on the internet."

Fun fact: one way that the collapse of Twitter has made things harder for small pubs is that it's now really difficult to get stuff like this in front of the people who might have a pitch.

I graduated in May and became a dad in June. I’m happy and exhausted at four months into this new life.
