Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

We had one conversation where he questioned how medical providers and insurance companies were allowed to get away with ruining people and I responded, "You're the one who's voted Republican for the last 40 years. That's how." Not my most empathetic moment but I think it might have gotten through!

The only person I actually *know* switched from voting for Trump in 2016 to voting for Biden in 2020 was my Dad. And all it took was my Mom's cancer resurging, them almost losing everything they owned and having to sell off 80% of their land to cover medical bills, and then her dying! Easy fix!

I came here to say the exact same thing. I remember listening to the commentary track on the DVDs and being LIVID that Moore had no idea where he was going with any of it.

I genuinely love living in a compound with my family, but some days I dearly wish that my relatives would understand that "Amanda is home" =\= "Amanda is not busy"

Once again frustrated by how difficult it is to just *not* buy plastic garbage. Went on a quest for a new laundry basket this morning. I should have realized (but did not until now) that most of the laundry baskets you see in stores that *look* like wicker are actually... Still plastic.

I did it! Procedure itself was fine because I was under sedation. The worst part of the actual medical stuff was just getting the IV put in because I have terrible luck with them. Now we await labs on the couple of polyps they removed.

When you say 'all erotica is bad, no exceptions' you inevitably end up down the rabbit hole of conservatism where LGBT folks, queer culture and anything deemed 'strange' sexually is renounced and eventually banned through legal means.

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

Waiting in the Post Office lobby for the service window to open, and some guy comes in and comments "I see the Union workers are doing nothing still" ... Bro, WHAT? It is 8:20AM. You can hear them in the back sorting mail for delivery. Why are you such a dick?

I haven't told BlueSky the story of the night I spent on Mt. Katahdin, helping some woefully unprepared hikers not die. But I have personal experience with this kind of tomfoolery and it boils my blood because it is so unnecessary.

It's fine if folks see a movie and disagree with me about it (love it, hate it, took away a different angle on the message than I did) but with The Odyssey it's been like, "...did we watch the same movie?"
