Charlotte peeps! Major accident on north 85 between Sugar Creek and Tryon (Exits 41-42). Definitely avoid if you can!

No plans on Friday yet? Stop by NoDa Brewing from 3-10pm to try the collaboration beer "Waffle Huis" made with our very own homebrewer, Bill!

Take a pic and let us know what you think of it!

I'm calling them Flutters!

Thou shalt not groove to the YMCA while marginalizing the communities that made the song iconic.

"You don't consider" is what you literally started that with, to me, lol... I'm not centering myself, I'm commenting only on what I've experienced. I was asking you for the same input, because the comment you replied to was ALSO someone commenting just from what they've lived & experienced...

Again I was born in 84, so none of that I was alive for (or at least remember, for Reagan). But it's definitely good to have reminders of other horrors that have happened that (to this point) are worse.
For me, it's more shameful because with all those things in the past - we *should* be better now.

I absolutely agree that it's not the worst or most shameful atrocity in our country's history by a long stretch (and please God let it not usurp those events), but this thread is purely about what we've been alive to see, not all of US History. The continued horrid treatment, absolutely agree on.

I've been calling them Flutters over here lol... but I'm seeing most calling it a post.

Oh yes for sure that is needed here too!

Hate when that happens! Def need the edit, but at least we have an easy copy option if needed!

*waves to Skipper excitedly* Hi Skipper! Thank you! Enjoy your cute little clown! 💜

Oh how fun! I was listening to Nothing More, Disturbed, and Beartooth tonight, doing the exact same thing! 💜🤘🤘💜🤘🤘💜

Disgustingly so but yes, yes, you have it right. 🤬

Honestly, he should never have been able to run the first time for so many reasons.... but when he did that at a political rally, and they didn't disown him they just voted for him?!?!? I knew we were a lost cause.

I'm still mad, not sad, too.

You can right-click and copy post, delete the errored one, and then repaste it and fix the error... that is the only way I can find!

They are saying in their 38 years existing here, they've never felt this ashamed of their country. Nothing else...

As someone born in 84, hard agree, same here.

Do you consider those other historical events you called out more shameful, or less than this? Since you mentioned them & all...

Whole family was ecstatic and edges of our seats for that one! Go Lions!

*squeee*
Ohmygoshthepreciousbabyissoprecious! *gasps*

What is their name?!?

They're only following ELEVEN accounts?!?! Yikes.

You were one of the first I looked for when I came over! Happy to see you here!

This ~ 💯%

Scottish Light and Ciders!

Weird as it may sound, I would look for Facebook groups/pages/creators of/for those types of people, and then see which have a Discord for it. She is a white trans creator, but Mercury Stardust (the Trans Handyma'am) has one and has curated it similarly & done it from her IG & FB sites!

I've honestly never understood people not wanting to read diverse characters. It's SO satisfying to read about something you don't know firsthand & learn different perspectives! They are absolutely missing out on amazing things.

Any standout recs/authors you love to get people to read? TIA!

Stouts & Porters!

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

This made me physically feel ill and nauseous as it was - but that May God Bless you at the bottom, as if Jesus wasn't an immigrant born in a manger, who grew up to be someone that helped those being persecuted out of hate? 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Yeah but that hurts me for you, as the one who cooks (me)... I would wanna be sure you could foodcoma with the best of us!
