And, you know, I'm sure a lot of people are less sensitive to place than I am. There are advantages to being here, but, like, I don't drink margaritas 😉

There's nuance here that I don't always express. There are cool places and cool people in Texas (just not where I live). And there are uncool people and places in "blue" states. But the overall atmosphere, the vibe, the culture is different. Sometimes it's just degrees, but those degrees matter.

The other Liz's quoted post is the same story I had growing up. Small town in a rural county in middle Pennsylvania. Lack of exposure to "opposing views" isn't my issue - those "opposing views" (including not believing in my basic humanity) are why I left that godforsaken place behind for a city

Even in the town I live in now, the assumed shared values (Christian, conservative) and barely coded language you absorb just trying to go to the supermarket or mechanic or whatever. I could write several books (I won't though because I'm too depressed by living here to be that productive).

i live in small town in the no man's land of pennsylvania between philadelphia and pittsburgh. i am exposed to plenty of right wing thinking. not really worried about making my social media experience less pleasant in order to "get out of my echo chamber."

This is my song. To this day, my mom's never had a registered Democrat in her social circle. My extended family is full of gutter racists. I was in my LATE TWENTIES before I truly understood what feminism is. I only speak to 1 out the 4 other people in my immediate family due to their Trump support.

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Great negotiating strategy - tell them word-for-word the exact lie that will get you to fold.

I have a PhD. Not using it; may sell it to you cheap.

We have copious evidence that Democratic mayors (not just Mamdani) are basically hostages of their police departments and...everybody's pretty much fine with it.

Sorry I had to cancel our meeting. It's just that I can't take you seriously in a professional setting after seeing the IG post of you in a COWBOY PILLOWS t-shirt.

OTOH I'm actually excited to vote for Hinojosa. But not delusional.

The prophecy states that Texas will elect a Democrat to statewide office the year I am able to move to another state. And I'm stuck here. So.

When Talarico loses in November, as Beto before him (twice), I hope we can put the White Man Electability argument to bed once and for all.

These three things are as ruinous for young men as listening to this advice would be for the Democratic Party.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

Is it bad when the people in charge of the weapons and bombs believe that an apocalyptic war is necessary for the return of their deity?

I'd like to stop being told I have to worship the military now. Thanks.

I know a lot of people are too young to remember our last clusterfuck in the Middle East, but let me tell you: a Democrat saying something even close to this about The Troops would have been flayed alive on the Senate floor.
