Inching toward 40 and still trying to figure out my life goals while I watch the world slowly burn around me.

If I had died the same way, he would have called it an acceptable cost. If my child had died he would have said your empathy was a failure. If my friends died he would have blamed it on a trans woman or a black man. I refuse to be sad for him.

It's because they only count it as "political" when it's against them. Right-wing violence is always brushed off as due to another reason.

My dog is nonverbal, stims by running in circles, and hyper-focuses on cheese. He's still less autistic than any of the humans in this house.

American healthcare: You tell your provider you feel awful all the time and think you know why. He orders labs; they show inflammation but rule out three specific causes, not the one you said. Repeat labs are a bit better. This means no recommendations except diet and exercise. You still feel awful.

But if they hit just after "You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at me" they are iconic.

Imagine if that doctor saw an actual non-Christian. If you're going to refuse to care for anyone who doesn't conform to your beliefs, you should never have become a doctor.

Hear me out, maybe if the files are released we would be able to see the context. Wild idea, I know.

They're trying to tell us the man with enormous ankles and bruises who is constantly falling asleep in public just has a minor ailment but the other guy was in such decline it was dangerous?

Hey everyone, even if Cara Cunningham has horrible views now, we can call that out without deadnaming her, OK?

Isn't it funny how the party that spawned QAnon conspiracies that politicians were buying underage children just voted to block the release of the names of politicians buying underage children? If they had nothing to fear, this would serve only to energize their most fanatical supporters.

Using the app that no one IRL has found me on to whine that I'm having a horrible week caused entirely by my own actions and the fact that I did something I deserve no sympathy for so I can't whine to real people even though I'm dying inside.

In case you think unreliable weather data is a one-off fluke, I'm far from TX and am being told at this minute that it is cloudy. I've been out here for three hours and haven't seen a single cloud.

I found out that one of my late dad's friends was arrested for harassing and threatening people at my tiny hometown's No Kings. He's worked at the county jail for decades. He was always a funny guy and he was so sweet at dad's funeral. Fascism and hatred hide behind friendly faces.

We took the new furniture from the campus center and set up a full lounge on the front lawn of my dorm. Not one piece of furniture, we took a rug and everything.

This is hilarious. I have about 1/3 acre. I just planted two apple trees and have a few fruit bushes, just enough to have a snack when they start producing (if the birds don't snack first). My garden is basically just enough to make salsa. That's it, because I have a firm grasp of reality.

I'm exhausted. I've been job hunting for three months. I have enough in the bank for one more mortgage payment, assuming I don't pay anything else. And outside my house is a fascist nightmare. I'm still going because my kid needs me to.

Ah, so your takeaway is that younger people who are more likely to change the status quo should be afraid to get involved? WaPo not even trying to hide their support of fascism anymore.

This is why they wear masks. Because they know what anyone with a heart would do the minute we saw them without those guns.

"Like no other warrior in the history of Israel" Umm, I'm an atheist and I can still point to the entire Bible to refute that claim.

Also sick of Democrats who feel entitled to any position because of their name. New York has had enough of political dynasties that think they're untouchable.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

He wants a war so he can invoke wartime powers and prosecute any dissent under sedition laws.

Yep, my uncle told me that over Thanksgiving dinner once. But we had no reason to become selfish since we didn't accumulate any personal wealth to be worried about.

The nerve to show up at a sport that actively recruits players from the same country ICE's victims are from. The MLB without players from Latin America and the Caribbean would be a shadow of the sport it is now, and I say that as a baseball fan.

I was stopped and questioned at the airport at 17 years old because my shirt had a dove on the front and being anti-war was an issue for the TSA.

Please only do this if it's biodegradable glitter. ICE is bad enough without adding mountains of micro plastics to the environment.

Upstate NY - there's a nest a couple miles from my house. All the rain we've had had made the river get pretty high, so she's been flying along the creek behind my property more. It's a thrill every time I see her.

It turns out a dead body isn't actually a viable incubator for a full pregnancy, but they didn't want their little power trip to go wrong. They'd rather have a disabled micropreemie that headlines will forget about quickly than admit that the fetus wouldn't have survived.

The same people who claim to care so much about children that they'll criminalize a woman for not birthing more of them also doesn't care if those same kids die a few years later.

Imagine losing someone at a young age, not being allowed to mourn, having to watch her start to literally decompose, and now having to watch her child suffer and quite possibly not survive either. It's so barbaric, just so they can point to a micropreemie and call it a miracle.

I'm not from the economic class they want to save. If they offer me space in a bomb shelter I'm going to assume it's a Fallout situation and the vaults are not actually someplace I'd like to be either.

Two weeks ago I hung a bird feeder thinking my son might like it. This morning I found my 10-year old in his jammies, sitting by the window, recording bird songs like it's his job.
