GiNA @choppstar.bsky.social · 11/09/2025I gotta say, it’s a raw deal when you’re one of the “some gun deaths.” But, per his logic, it’s only rational that some have to die so the gun nuts can keep shooting their guns. 000
GiNA @choppstar.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Charlie Kirk’s quote from April 2023 for use in his obituary: "I think it's worth [it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other god-given rights.That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” #thoughtsandprayers #kirk 100

GiNA @choppstar.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Psilocybin causes people to feel more connected & unified. The greater sense of connectedness is linked to increased prosocial behavior. In other words, psilocybin makes us want to get along & see the good in each other. That’s not good for capitalism or for the goals of the current administration. 000
