It costs you nothing to respect trans people enough to use the right gendered language after being corrected. Refusing to do so is treating a core aspect of our humanity as conditional, and it shows us you're not someone we can trust as an ally.
And your opinion on that fact is irrelevant.
It’s weird that people online treat politics like sports, yet never learn the part where you’re allowed to be mad at your own team for blowing it.
Yeah assholes prove my refrigerator doesn’t miss me while I’m at paintball
i asked my magic 8-ball if it was sentient and it said signs point to yes and now i'm afraid that the 8-ball is going to steal my job and wife
Oh, close! It was her job to do that, actually!
Liberals: we will do literally anything and run literally anyone to entice swing voters Leftists: we're swing voters, we'll swing your way if you run someone we like Liberals: fuck off, we want the REAL swing voters: belligerent racists who hate us
It's also why we so freely throw around hyperbolic and racist terms like "invasion" to describe immigrants and "war zone" to describe cities. We white people in the US have NO ACTUAL IDEA WHAT THOSE TERMS REALLY MEAN.
None whatsoever.
You should hammer all these reps who voted yes on the KIDS Act.
Additionally, keep contacting your other reps as well

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all
Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.
we used to have Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Mike Pensions, Gary Literacy, Pete Socialsafetynet,
oh wow maybe we shouldn't have put all our money in a kiln and set it to 4500 degrees
It is really something to see the US military blundering into conflict unprepared while the Iranians seem to have a long term strategic plan to deal with us
Steve: did u guys get a good pic of me
Dave: ya dont worry
Steve: which pic did u use
Mark: dont worry about it
It is amazing youd give up a first term job in the SENATE for a brief stint atop a game show host’s secret police police
Honest question, when people say “Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were right about everything,” what are they referring to that isn’t the most obvious “bad stuff is gonna happen” stuff
can't the firefly cast just do an indie movie to hang out together
a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
Like this narrative that the campaigns for equal marriage were a friendly public conversation where everybody respected each other is wild as fuck. It was only about ten years ago and you guys kept implying we wanted to fuck dogs.
The thing is that I distinctly remember opponents of gay marriage crying and kicking their heels and claiming to be oppressed by the mean censorious gays all the time.
Iunno, it's just so weird for me, as somebody who was an out queer in the first couple of decades of this century to see this rewriting of history where the "debate" about gay rights then was this genteel, public spirited conversation. They blamed the gays for hurricanes and earthquakes.
H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.
Bob Smigel’s Bill Clinton for Conan’s show was just a picture of Clinton and Clutch Cargo animation.
You gotta hand it to Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris: they were the only two people who predicted that Donald Trump would be bad
This is the kind of AI user that I genuinely do not understand. What do you mean you asked Mad Libs for a second opinion about THE WIRING IN YOUR HOUSE
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

If I ever tell you I’m looksmaxxing it’s because I’m trying to look like this:
I can understand reflexively refusing to believe the boy who cried wolf too often, but that doesn’t absolve you of any responsibility to use your own eyes and ears and judgement to see when there really is a goddamn wolf at the fucking door.
