I’m so sorry to hear this. All my love and wishes for a peaceful transition. We were friends on Twitter, but I never really made the move over here and we lost touch. Fuck. Cancer.

Oh yeah, it’s some bullshit.

If your dr has it, or try an independent pharmacy if you can find one. she's also in missouri, who has been absolutely garbage about supplies, so that may be why she can't get ahold of it.

my mother is a pharmacist/owns a pharmacy, and she told me there isn't a list of conditions yet, and that the fall vaccine isn't available yet anyhow, and most places wouldn't have many of last year's vaccine, if any, still available yet anyhow.

oh, oh noooooooo. I have been in a very shockingly similar situation. I empathize a whole lot.

the lack of empathy is the point

My ex was obsessed with everything Scottish, despite being an Iowa Norwegian by heritage. He bought my family’s kilt, even! I was naive and didn’t realize I was just part of the fascination for him.

Don’t waste your time on someone who thinks the kleptocracy knows better than us silly stupid peons. Mute him and let him shout himself hoarse in the vacuum created by self flagellation.

No medium article is irrefutable logic. That’s what’s called an “opinion,” you may want to head over to a thing called “the dictionary” for clarification.

This guy thinks not voting Harris = supporting Trump, so don’t expect logic or sense from that direction.

Certainly far more than either you or me, but I think it was mostly about her being extremely vocally in support of those policies and promising to not just continue them but ramp them up.

In case you missed that key point of her campaign while being a condescending ass.

I studied Dutch Baroque for my art history thesis, and oh yeah, the Calvinists are wild. They consider anything the Catholics did as practically heathen.

Then the Puritans came in and basically said “hold my apple juice” and made both groups looks like absolute pervs.

What always sticks out to me is that most Death and the Maiden artwork is found in Protestant areas, Calvinist (like your example) and Lutheran, who were very big on moralization through art. The culture that censored it is Puritan at the root- more concerned with appearing moral than being moral.

So many "liberals" are showcasing the 'scratch a liberal and find a fascist' right now. Their comfort is their only true care, what they see as schadenfreude their true kink.

and it's awful to expect people who are being genocided to vote for one of the people doing that genocide just because you think they should. these people saying this shit... they're so damn privileged.
