I regret to inform everyone that I gambled incorrectly when I built my new computer in August and didn't upgrade to 64GB to save $90 and said "I'll just buy another two sticks at Christmas"

Those who have less than full throated support and love for trans people disgust me. Who doesn't see the version of themselves they long to be in their mind? They hate those with the courage to do something about it, who show the rules for the meaningless white-after-labor-day calvinball bs they are

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

All but one person or group we got (and we only got like eight or nine!) had one person take one of the bags of clementines I made up either by itself or first before I urged them to also take something else.
People are not lying about what happens when you do this. I've had five kids so far take potatoes and three take apples.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.
So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

Fascism is here and many of the country's biggest politicians, corporations, news orgs, and institutions have embraced it. But it's still weak and people hate it. Our greatest strength is each other. Find your people in your local communities, stick up for everyone, and learn to say no.

(2/2) This third one ("What to Do") is heavily lifted from a post by @gregpak.net which I will go find and link below. I had a much more angry / maudlin idea before I saw his post and realized it's better to give people something to DO rather than a thing to be mad at.

I put on a pair of beloved burgundy velvet pants today that I'd been waiting for them to not be too small to wear and it to be cool and now they're too big 😭 The most mixed of bags.

More people should be publicly lambasting not just the corps and pols who suck, but the people they know who join up with truly heinous power-tripping groups. Out your grandson on Facebook. Make fun of that guy from HS who never apparently grew out of his bullying and playing cops.
