I am so tired of people calling things divisive when what they mean is that they were more comfortable when other people were just being silently oppressed and they didn’t have to hear about it or change anything

Serious question: What is stopping state governors from calling in their own National Guard forces to protect their states' citizens from the invading forces?

If Universal Basic Income (UBI) were to give you more breathing room, what new hobbies or activities would you pursue that currently feel out of reach?

Yes!

I feel like that's common. I definitely can't sing as high as I used to. But also I am very out of practice.

I think I tend to imagine people's voices to be higher than they are for some reason. So, yes, probably.

with alt text so everyone can read

Dolly Parton's sister Freida is asking for prayers for the country music icon amid the singer's string of health issues.
"Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately," Freida wrote via Facebook alongside a photo of Dolly on Tuesday.
"I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.

My kid gives me hope. Watching them grow up without the threat of hell and without having to cut pieces of their personality off gives me hope.

The second panel shows the ace person talking to their friend and saying "I'm thinking about being a sexy dominatrix for Halloween." The third panel shows the ace person eating a hamburger surrounded by sexy advertising and they are saying "oh yes I am totally falling for this hypersexual marketing ploy." The fourth panel shows the Ace person with their face on the table thinking to themselves "no one is falling for this." there are several arrows pointing at them that say things such as "Ace ace baby" "hella Ace" "ace ahoy" "asexual AF" "asexual" "ace" the bottom is signed Sally Vintner 2017$
