Been there. Done that. I like my small town.

He was doomed from the start.

I would not say that walking alone is a happy thing. But it's necessary. I am not able to do anything else, even if I were so inclined.

You wasted your teachers' time as well as a lot of money and resources.

Bingo!

Cool, cool. So I can’t afford health care until/if Medicare still exists. Meanwhile the things that I need health care for will progressively worsen. What's the worst that could happen? 🙄

Anything that is good for people and bad for corporations.

You telling me he's not a drag queen? Color me shocked and awed. /s

Yep.

An occasional student would ask me how much it would cost for an A. I always said that I don’t know. No one has ever offered me enough. Then, we would have a full class discussion about integrity and self-worth. Good times.

These are also hallmarks of emerging academic writers.

They'll unveil it in two weeks.

That's my goal.

A bright spot from a friend in Philly: "The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The "belly of the beast" rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means. 2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names. No right-wing rally every coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time. The usual guys sets their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up. Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you."

More of this please!

>feet first< please

For y'all 🩷

I want to thank you. Early this year, we were chatting about how I (60f, auDHD) have mostly aged out of therapy. You suggested that I look into ACT. I have, and the results so far have been excellent. My anxiety levels have dropped.

Again, thank you.

Even the super strict sects have elders that are clued in. Also Penna

Amisch are more aware of world politics than you realize. It's part of how they can remain apart. Source: Amisch in-laws.

I stand corrected. You’re a Bernie bro. It's that much easier to believe that your vote was a protest. So here we are.

That train left the station, Casey. You didn’t believe her when she was talking about it.

"Her silence" You said you knocked and voted for Clinton. The ease with which you dismiss Harris tells its own story.

You have chosen not to hear. There is nothing that Harris could do to ever get you to support her. You chose >all this< over a woman who was literally being taught to be president. She was being sent around the world to make alliances. All you did was ask, "Where’s Kamala?" Blind, deaf, dumb AF.

Sweet summer child . .

"TRUMP"

I'm not even sure where to go with this. So many choices . . .

There are character flaws, and then there's evil. You are outright supporting evil. We are not the same.

Dudes need to ribbit already. Both of them.

"Not all" vibe is strong in this one.
It's all white people until it's no white people.

How? I'm sincerely at a loss. No white racists were "let off the hook."
