Val (patty arc) @3eriie.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Now i see why this app gets a bad wrap. If your goal was to immediately burn bridges with the youth, this would be how to do it. I am not saying i have brand new never before seen ideas. What I am saying is that I am not operating on a nostalgic perception of "better times." 100
Val (patty arc) @3eriie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026What do i draw on? This sounds ridiculous, but I don't draw on anything.

I'm not trying to recreate the past 100

I have to wonder if the Fed will decide that documentation of citizenship from certain states isn't enough proof. www.cpr.org/2025/06/27/s... 010

Val (patty arc) @3eriie.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Safety is the most basal foundation of governance. We trade our natural rights as defined by social contract theory for safety. However, that is safety from without, not within. 1101
