frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 09/12/2025We talk about men ‘providing’ for their families, but ‘providing’ implies doing it all. ‘Contributing’ is more accurate—and less sexist—because it acknowledges everyone’s role. A family is teamwork, not a business with an owner. 000
frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Another game conservatives play woth language is pretending they are not an identity and don't engage is identity politics. To them being LGBT is an identity, while straight cis isn't. Being a POC is an identity, being white isn't. Someone needs to teach them what the word identity means. 000

frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Many Christian nationalists don’t want a president — they want a King David: a flawed but divinely chosen warrior who protects their tribe. Trump fits that archetype better than he fits the Jesus archetype, and this helps explain why his moral failings do not disqualify him in their eyes. 020

frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 30/05/2025I believe rigid social roles based on gender are inefficient and exist to protect those currently in power.

frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 11/04/2025The right says tariffs will bring back manufacturing, and they are okay if this causes things to get more expensive and people can not afford them.

frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 01/04/2025The Trump administration isn't building infrastructure to deport millions.

frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 29/03/2025The lack of imagination that thinks humanity as one people needs to be one culture is how you get fascism.

frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Many Buddhist focus on attachment over desire or craving. This seems like a way to avoid the difficult steps of the Path. Instead of giving up or moderation, instead of renunciation, you just say they don't care as much and keep the same things in their life. 000
frankgarrett.bsky.social @frankgarrett.bsky.social · 22/03/2025It seems like Republicans try and destroy every success a Democratic President has presided over, while Democrats bend over backwards to help Republicans.
