All this time I thought I really loved vodka soda with lime.

Turns out just like Topo Chico with lime and little bit of gotdamn peace.

Thanks Wellbutrin!

Do you ever just look around & think “what is all this shit & how did it get here?”

I mean your stuff, your problems, infrastructure of cities, domestication of people & animals, credit scores& money. It’s awful.

I just want to be a piece of lichen settled deep into a stream with a little family.

I don’t think women will ever be able to adequately express how infuriating it is to be a woman talking to a doctor about her own body.

I don’t even have the words to contain 20 years of rage of not being heard.

The things I would do for the confidence and audacity of a mediocre white dude….

MAGA republicans are railing against judicial rulings that are reversing Trump’s EO’s.

This is our government in process. The balance of power & ensuring adherence to the law, amendments, previous SCOTUS decisions, & the constitution.

People are choosing one man over the constitution & the law. 🤯

Sir, I would begin to be satisfied when SOMETHING is done, instead of nothing.

I AM asking where to begin. I want some action because mass shootings are NOT just a regular thing in modern society.

Problem solving doesn’t start with the final conclusion. You’re moving into slippery slope fallacy.

I want to note that nothing has been done to curb school shootings. Nothing at all. I live in Texas, where our Governor slashed the state’s mental healthcare spending to nearly zero and opened up further access to firearms with bare minimum background checks.

Something. That’s a good place to begin

I must know if you have ever reviewed the suggested and failed “common sense” gun laws that would have HELPED kids not be murdered in schools.

To answer your somewhat inane question we can’t start at the end goal if our leadership won’t lift a finger because the NRA has them by the short & curlies.

Not quite what? Which part of my last statement is not quite?

I personally own rifles and handguns. I do not, however, own any type of weapon that could kill dozens of people in minutes because that is something I will never need in any COMMON SENSE scenario.

Hi, Nick from the Internet.

This is still a fallacy. But I’ll play.

By the logic of “no one will ever be satisfied” we should have no laws. What about people who want to drive 110 mph on a residential street?

Common sense is not give & take. It is sound judgement in practical issues.

*WHEN gotdamnit. Give us an edit feature.

1. How did you get here? Who the hell are you?

2. This is the Nirvana Fallacy.

3. The common sense gun laws that only restrict high powered automatic weapons.

Before you start in with the “rise against the govt” nonsense- what are we going to do against the largest military on the planet?

Them: “They’re taking our jobs! Deport em all!”

Also them: “Hell no I’m not going to be a fry cook/pick fruit/frame houses/pour tar/mow grass!”

Me: “So which jobs were migrants taking & from whom exactly? Spell it out for me like I’m five.”

Them: 👹 “ARE YOU CALLING ME A RACIST!?!”👹

Me: Huh.🤔

Them: “SMALLER GOVERNMENT!”

Also them: “I think it’s a damn good thing that law passed. No, people shouldn’t be able to wear anything they want! Peepee=pants. Man≠makeup. Gott a wiener? NO WIGS! The government is finally doing something!”

Me: “So, you’re ok with doing away with the 1A?

Them: 🤯🤯🤯

Them: “I don’t care what anyone does in the bedroom just don’t let me have to see any of that on tv/social media/movies/ever.” *browser history includes “girl on girl on girl”.

ALSO them: “Jesus loves everyone! ‘Cept them queers. My sexual “sin” is just my nature! God made me this way”

Me: 🤦‍♀️

Them “They’ve got litter boxes in the bathrooms”.

Me: *stares into the void in physical pain.

Them “You want to take my guns!”

Me: “No. You hunt & have a home protection firearms. You’re trained & safe. I respect the 2A. I’d just like tighter measures on..”

“YOU’RE ANTI-AMERICAN! HOW DARE YOU? OUR VETERANS FOUGHT FOR THIS! YOU LIBS WANT US TO TURN IN OUR ARMS!”

“That’s not real.”

Them “I’m still done with Disney”

Me: “Why?”

“They’re pushing an agenda!”

“What agenda?”

“DEI! To our kids!”

“What’s DEI?”

“Diversity. Making me accept & condone things I don’t agree with!”

“Like what?”

“OTHER WAYS OF LIFE!”

“Like what?”

“THEY ARE BRAINWASHING KIDS!”

“That’s not real.”

Rereading The Hunger Games and reflecting on win Peeta was hijacked.

I feel like this is what it’s like talking to our MAGA family members who are starting to realize they’ve been duped.

“Real or not real?”

It’s nearly impossible to convince them I’m not a brainwashed liberal (capital mutt).

There are a ton. Dystopia, theological study, horror, sci-fi, sociology, psychology, philosophy, political commentary, history, and fantasy.

I like to imagine the kind of world we could have while grieving the one we do.

I think so! I feel super special, really.

Nothing would shock me at this point. Might as well be this

What’s up OG Twitter!?
