It's 3:07 AM. I'm awake. Thinking about rebellion I might be able to get away with. I hate this timeline.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. There are more cases of autism because clinicians are better at diagnosing it than ever before. Education is the vaccine against believing conspiracy theories.

Yesterday, my wife picked me up from a 14 hour travel day. On our way home, someone started tailgating us, following so closely that I couldn't see the top of their headlights. It was a cop who pulled us over for having a license plate light out. It was 11:45 PM. In very VERY rural Minnesota. ACAB

Sitting in the living room on my computer listening to classical music, I just said out loud “Damn, this Vivaldi slaps. Let’s run that back.” And now I’m just so sad that my son wasn’t in the room to be horrified by that.

Let me see if i understand this correctly: you think that a biological man would go through years of hormone treatments and being castigated by society just to get a chance to play on a D3 team at a school that doesn’t offer scholarships in a sport where it’s impossible to turn pro?

U.S. voters elected a felon and prevented further prosecutions of him for his many crimes. Heaven help us all.
A tweet by Karen Piper (@PiperK) reads: "There it is. Trump would have been convicted of 'conspiracy to defraud the United States' and 'conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights' if he had not been elected to be president. The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory." Below the tweet is an excerpt from a document that discusses the Department's view that the Constitution prohibits the indictment and prosecution of a sitting President, regardless of the gravity of the crimes charged, and indicates that sufficient evidence existed to obtain a conviction at trial.

Making a custom sheath for a customer commissioned, hand forged knife. If I could do things like this for a living, I totally would. Sadly, it's just a side hustle at this point. What's your passion? #ironravenmetalworks
