Small business owner, LMT, mama to 4 plus some, progressive and feminist as fuck. Lover of hoodies and Denny. Gardening enthusiast. Neurodiverse.

So tired, please bring coffee.
I don’t have words to describe what it feels like watching democrats aid and abet.

Trump’s actions are terrifying. Democrats who are bending over for him are soul-shocking.

Trump has been trying to traumatize us into inaction. Democrats are succeeding in that endeavor where he couldn’t.

It’s one thing to watch evil men and women take our country down. It’s a whole different type of betrayal to have people who ran as progressive—who I fucking DONATED to— enable fascism.

Shame on Fetterman, shame on Schumer, shame on all of them.

I like to imagine them shamed into silence. We watched this slow moving train come at us for over a decade, and they refused to acknowledge reality, utterly failing to stop it, failing us in the process.

Cowards then, cowards now.

Ah yes, because white people built this country.

We sacrificed so much, violently oppressing an entire people and forcing them to do hard labor and create our wealth.

It was hard to endure the loathing stares of the enslaved while we sipped lemonade in the shade of our porches.

Ngl, I needed the twins to win this one. Go science!

Well, the dems hit it home for them.

TikTok was imperfect, and still censored a lot. But we could still get real primary source news there, we could organize, we could learn from scholars, activists, lawyers, etc. We could hold politicians accountable.

If you like free speech, the rule of law, or care about the constitution (I don’t mean that in the magat sense), you should have an opinion.

Scary as shit.

As much as I loathe the GOP and the tech bro not sees, we have to remember the first volley came from AIPAC owned dems. + Unanimous SCOTUS.

Feeling fairly done with the Democratic Party. At this point, I hope it all crashes and burns so something better can rise in its place.

UK just banned puberty blockers.

The only party I’m interested in is the one who will challenge the oligarchy.

It’s not going to mean anything if you let Trump ruin our government. Please act decisively for us. It feels like you’re sitting on your hands. Fight fire with fire. MAGA seems to outmaneuver at every turn.

I heard a publisher spent $50 million or some astronomical number trying to make The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova be a best seller, but lost most of their money. So now they won’t. It’s an amazing book, btw.

I’ve been in quite the illuminating argument with some “dudes” on FB about this. Illuminating in the sense of being shocked at the lack of their reading comprehension, and eventually about how stupid they are.

Also how I feel like arguing with women online is a form of jacking off for them.

Yeah, it’s one of those subjective things. If it were me, I think the letter is hilarious, and humor is attractive. Funny/charming/witty=game? 🤷‍♀️

A take from a fellow ND (don’t know if it’s THE take):

It’s highly cringey when men try to be or do anything in pursuit of scoring. Any assumed persona is 👎.

It’s much nicer to speak to women as you’d speak to anyone. Treat her like a human, show real interest in who she is with no expectations.

Ah shit. Who was it?

I don’t know why I continue to engage with troglodytes, but after correcting someone’s dumbass comment, I was told, “You’re mean! No one would want to rape you. You’d better go find a bear.”

Words fail. Or I guess their public display of how their mind works can stand on its own.

Nice to know it’s bipartisan. I can’t wait for life to stop feeling like the twilight zone.

We’re coming to the point where we have to acknowledge they’re owned by the same people, and voting is never going to get us out of this mess.

Voting buys a very little bit of time.

Fffffffuck this guy. Holy shit. “Useful idiots.” My god.

I guess it’s part of the opposites game we’re playing, where denouncing genocide is supposedly antisemitic, and being educated on an issue makes you a useful idiot.

And they signed a TikTok ban and a bill allowing warrantless surveillance.

I say lean into it. I find a well-crafted string of filth inspiring.

Excited! I’ve been waiting for this one.
