I think you'd be hard-pressed to find absolutely anyone who'd characterize our current political climate as a "near-unanimous moderate slate currently in all elected branches of government."

Don’t fall into the “absolutely everyone has the same rich interior life as me” trap I lived in forever. Most people do! But Fascism requires a certain number of people who are shockingly simple.

Men *hate* being corrected by a woman in the workplace, and let me tell you, there is absolutely no way to do it in a manner that they will find “nice enough.” When women do it, they’re bitches. To some men, nothing a woman does in the workplace is right or good enough

Some of the best advice I ever heard was from @silviamg.bsky.social who said that you shouldn't set goals that require other people to do what you want. You can write a book. That's a goal. You can't control whether anyone buys it. Other people have free will.
