Have I mentioned that for trans people whose bodies no longer make endogenous sex hormones, this is a death sentence preceded by weakened bones, heart disease and whole slew of unregulated body functions including temperature, sleep, digestion and mood (dis)regulation?
Cat
Everyone become communist by tomorrow morning
I say this to my cat when he's doing something he shouldn't, like playing in the trash.
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
TMBG voice: Don't, don't don't ... let's not
Wow I hate this.
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Gas at Fred Meyer was $4.09/gallon in North Portland, about 40¢ more near where I work in Vancouver.
perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?
I have not moved on from this.
I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.
This video is lowballing it.
Going to build a DVD/CD bunker in my nonexistent basement.
Kind of crazy how hard it is to watch a movie these days. You used to go down to your local Blockbuster or find it no problem on Netflix back when they would send you DVDs in the mail. Now it's like, which of the 800 streaming services does this one random movie reside on?

In a hotel room, a brick wall that has obviously had a huge hole repaired
Pretty sure the Kool-Aid man stayed in this hotel room once
Pretty cool, but I'm 99% sure I'm not secretly Canadian.
Will $10+/gallon gas finally make people pick up their pitchforks? Kind of sad if that's people's line, but whatever works.
Every week, I'm like, "Damn, Monte's podcast is so good," but damn, Monte's podcast is always so good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG7A...
Attending at Christian worldviews class at my church that was supposed to have the opposite effect. Showed me how much they want to undermine democracy & public education & have a Christian theocracy. Really opened my eyes and sent me running away from the church.
Attending a Christian worldviews class that was supposed to help students stand strong against being indoctrinated by liberal colleges. Showed me how extreme Christians want to undermine democracy & public schools & how much they love conversion therapy. Definitely sealed the deal re: deconstruction
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

- because when you orient politics around Christian priorities, the moral imperative in the present becomes, not to build a better world for current or future generations, but to act in a way which a terrible few believes guarantees their spot in heaven, no matter how cruelly or miserably bought.
Like. There is a vast swathe of people globally, but especially in the US, for whom the End Times/heaven is the primary or only lens through which they ever look forwards, because theologically, Christianity doesn't care about the *living* future; only the afterlife. And that poisons politics -
I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions
Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
i'm always saying this :3
