I have no qualms about it at this moment because I need it.. but if I tripled this for YEARS I am still asking for less than “breaking” people make in ONE
They make more for twenty four hours than I even ASK for in twenty four years
And I’m NOT alone
So maybe when that stops we win

Morning, y'all. Unbridled optimism isn't doing its work on me today. Probably since everything from the waist down on one side is in excruciating pain. It's been 3 days running, I'm at the end of my rope. And my birthday is in TWELVE days! Anyway, I'm short:

The fact that asymptomatic Covid cases can lead to Long Covid IMO probably leads to more people attributing illness to vaccine complications than what could actually occurring, when the underlying problem could be a Covid infection.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I think it’s important for people to see these posts from the president in their natural habitat to give them context because truly what Trump is saying here is that his opposition should be murdered and that speaking, the truth is the equivalent of sedition. This is an incredibly dangerous combo.

Sugaring isn’t a failure of character , but being an opportunistic racist to improve your odds, while attacking people
And acting like fucking horrors as a sugar baby isn’t a choice while she’s actively abusive

i just want to emphasize that nuzzi proving a shitty person doesn't mean sugaring is a failure of character or anything. doesn't say good things of the guy, probably, but
the problem is the structures men with wealth and power create, not how individuals navigate them
