You know what? I'll actually engage with this. I know, some of y'all will say I'm doing too much. And you'd be right. But still

Your perspective, minnesota, comes less from a place of feeling offense at the word, and more from a place of feeling excluded from using it. And THAT comes from a place

That lady with the quarterback fiancé had her album drop a week ago, and there are already 30+ variations out there

Maybe I'm looking too deep into it, but knowing how hardcore some of her fans are I can't help but see that as a bit exploitative

When is the last time you jumped on a trampoline?Protect the whimsy. Embrace the joy. This is still fun at 40, if *slightly* more dangerous 😂😂😂

No one seems to have the answer. I’d like to speak to the manager of the white people.

Serious question. How long are white people going to keep blaming everyone and everything but themselves to avoid going outside and making it stop? The longer yall wait the worse it gets. You either want it to stop or you don’t.

I WAS planning on seeing Tron Ares, until learning that;
A. The story has pretty much no connection to the previous two,
B. Pretty much only exists because of Jared Leto funding it
C. Is directed by the same guy who did the worst Pirates of the Caribbean movie

Ill just listen to NIN's OST, thanks

There is a guy I follow on IG who recently has started researching women’s health and boy seeing his mind be blown in real time has been something. Buddy said women should really bite ppl more and he’s only on day 16. He’s already got to how the chainsaw was invented and Lysol as a contraceptive.

why they've made their bread and butter off easily debunked lies and bullshit stunts like this.

They know their viewers won't question or dig, because everything they see on the channel isn't meant to actually inform. But to reinforce their biases and discriminations

When you realize FOX doesn't remotely respect the intelligence of their viewers/audience, the way they operate starts to make sense

Because tou craft a different type of lie for the person with discernment and critical thinking, vs the person who accepts whatever you say at face value

That's...

Will do you one better, after listening to history podcasts, and seeing how low the bar was to become a fucking DOCTOR? And practice "medicine" on other human beings?

They didn't give AF in this country about a lot of things until the racism kicked in 😂

I'll just come out and say it

If you aren't willing to name names and stand ten toes on the accusation, just keep quiet

Cuz doing it this way screams more of wanting attention than genuinely warning others and keeping the community safe

And this isn't aimed specifically, but in general

This one I actually knew for a while

The one that REALLY shocked me was how many want to hold it (🍆) when we 💦

I'm genuinely still in disbelief 😂

This, the hijacked emails, the nonstop messaging, are all intended to make people mad at Democrats

But enough people, especially in the government, and ESPECIALLY who've been in it for a while, know exactly who's to blame for the past few shutdowns

Grifters, plain and simple

People with no conscience or sense of belonging to their community, who see how much money there is to be made by cosigning rhe racism and biases of conservatives

But like you said, they don't get engagement/money if they're ignored and don't get their viral moments

Seeing that none of these “honorable” institutions have courage is sobering. Not the law. Not the press. None of them.

Worth noting the marginalized are historically underrepresented in all of them.

Coincidence or providence

Union and thought it was his duty before God to wipe them off the fave of the Earth

But you're absolutely right. It was mainly driven by economic/political reasons, then took on moral reasons down the line

Girth, Wind, and Fire @girthwindandfire.bsky.social · 23h

The MOST you can give the North is

1. The every day solider who started out just doing a job, saw the horrors of chattel slavery up close, and ended the war feeling it was their duty before God to wipe that evil off the face of the Earth

2. Sherman, who saw the Confederates as traitors to the...
