Thishasbeenweird @sdzdc.bsky.social · 10/07/2026My old cat did that once and I panicked and said her name over and over again trying to rouse her. Finally I basically yelled it in her ear and she woke up hissing and swinging a paw that hooked me right in a cold sore that was in the process of healing and ripped my lip open. I loved her so much. 010

Thishasbeenweird @sdzdc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026all these dudes were self-id liberals who started drifting during covid because they didn’t like lockdowns, and then got radicalized after someone yelled at them online, and then they were suddenly talking about “scientific racism”, and manosphere shit.

Thishasbeenweird @sdzdc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I do think it was a problem.

Thishasbeenweird @sdzdc.bsky.social · 19/06/2026That’s tough.

Thishasbeenweird @sdzdc.bsky.social · 11/06/2026that’s a problem. There are also 500 million guns in this country. I see no reason to choose between the two, except that this is all abstract and the country has consistently chosen both, and so in like a hierarchy of needs sense, I oppose white nationalism and patriarchy first and largely agree 100
