“We voted for Trump but we didn’t vote for THIS.”

Let me stop you right there because yes you fucking did.

Short wait.

@dancingechoes.bsky.social Happy birthday! (Right? It is today?)

For reals.

Tomatoes do not belong on sandwiches.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"No shit," said Gandalf, "It isn't as if most people wish for this kinda of fuckshit to rain down on them. It sucks. It totally sucks. Why do you think I have so much 'pipeweed' on me at all times? C'mon now."

So... if this happens, then the murder case is considered solved and no one is looking for her killer?

Stop saying "nonconsensual BDSM"

It's not nonconsensual bank transfers, it's robbery.
It's not nonconsensual boxing, it's assault.
It's not nonconsensual coming over to hang out, it's breaking and entering.
It's not nonconsensual body modification, that's a class C felony.

I used to work in Affordable Housing where everything had to be very By The Book and now I work for an eviction prevention program and I see so many illegal leases it's astounding.

I went back with my dad and they were all immediately "this car is broken!" again without testing it and when I piped up to explain the problem with MY car I was told "we're just gonna pop the hood, Sweetie. Why don't you wait in the lounge" and went back to asking my dad questions.

I bought a used car and the windshield washer fluid wouldn't squirt out, so I brought it to their service center. Three different men just showed me where the lever was to pull for fluid without testing to see whether it worked and shuffled me out of the garage.

We are with you! I'm so anxious and excited for you!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone get "cancelled" over either of these.

Not get a 2nd date or have someone buy something elsewhere? Sure.

Conducting yourself in a rude or insensitive way doesn't remove you from humanity, it gets you fewer and less pleasant opportunities to socialize with others.

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Workers at The Barn, among other agricultural buildings, are now shutting the door after the horse got out. Shutting the door, telling people the door is shut, is a form of accountability for the horse that’s now completely free.

Is that the one that historically erupts every 13 years or whatever and these people are like "I know it was year 13, but I didn't think it would erupt on our honeymoon!" or whatever?
