Ah fuck, my first thought after seeing "FPS" was "first person shooter" as in, maybe a new insult for dudes who played call of duty and decided to gear up and be ice Nazis 🙃 I feel dumb

Ah, you can't help being from Alberta just like I can't help being from the US 😆 I only learned about the rat thing maybe a year ago, i think it's such a funny province-wide thing! Also, in my part of MN I *never* see rats in the wild or indoors, we mostly just fight with chipmunks and mice here

I love rats, big rat fan over here -- do you know about the thing where Alberta makes this huge deal about being "completely rat-free"? it's a whole thing, they're obsessive about it. rats are great though!

The government is literally lying to us to create propaganda to advance a white supremacist agenda, and we still have elected Dems who think they can work with these people and vote for their agenda. I am so angry all the time now.

We'll be okay ♥️ we're kept warm with pure Midwestern spite

This post reminded to make my new appointment (thx)

I like to do one pair of socks, then a hot hands on each set of toes, top it off with a second pair of socks. ✨ Indulgent ✨

Tina's not running for re-election so she probably doesn't care about midterms-- but that's all the more reason she should be calling to abolish and prosecute ICE

So you should be calling for the abolishment of ICE. But you're not, all you talk about is "reform" when there's no reforming an entity designed to racially profile and kidnap human beings.
FFS, pull your socks up and do your job goddamn it.

Part of a daily ritual lately! I wonder how many senate staffers are haunted by the sound of my voice at this point. These people have no idea how much experience I have being an annoying shitheel but they're gonna find out

That's gotta be extremely frustrating. Similar to my congressman, who is whole-hog down for anything this admin does to us-- I've shown up at his office, called a ton, he just ignores the public and never holds in-person town halls. I get you!

If these senators insist on being fucking toothless while our cities and towns are rampaged by federal goons, give them no peace, ever, keep calling. Don't be cruel to the staff, but GIVE THEIR OFFICES NO BREAK. They can screen and ignore a few repeat callers, but they can't ignore the legion of us.

The staff I spoke to in Amy's office told me to keep calling (I'm sure they want her to do her fucking job as much as we do) so the pressure is *worth keeping on and increasing*.
Smith's staffmember made excuses, saying she's called for reform and defunding: NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Call every. single. day.

I was telling my partner the other day, Akane-Banashi feels like a sports manga with how competitive every single character is. I love it -- is this how it feels to be into football?

ooooooh, I bet I could get it through an inter-library loan! 😯 thank you for the rec!!

it's so good!! I came in with zero knowledge of what rakugo is, I love how in-depth the story goes into its history, plus the art is so gorgeous. really excited to see the anime when it comes out!
