It’s more than that. The right wing dollar doesn’t come back. They use bud light as an insult still. The queer community will be marketed to if you do right by us. Break that trust and it can be earned back. The right wing community will instead declare your product their anathema.
Targeted points work. Often the left tries to do general strikes or boycott everyone. Thats hard. What’s not super hard is agreeing it’s a dick move to eat at chicfila or boycotting target when they roll back dei.
But it may stop observing itself. And as the part of the universe that does that, I’d dislike i5
Exactly, those who think themselves perfect doom themselves.
Didnt your hobo turned ccc worker turned GI great grandpa have the coolest life. Your gen Z sibling gets a similar experience.
Hey, Quayle is the one who told pence to not do a coup
Must be why most ceos don’t do stuff like that
Oh this is going to go full reichstag
“The constitutional amendment only applies to Harry Truman”
They are. But by pointing out that it hurts cis people too we attempt to move it from “it’s a shame that they treat you like that” to an understanding that transphobic rhetoric may hurt them or other cis people in their lives. Because the fact is, most cis people who love a trans person have maybe one or two of us in their lives. Some have a lot, but we’re a small minority that’s spread out. And maybe you love your cousin you see every few years, but are you going to riot so they can take a peaceful crap in a public restroom?
These are the men threatening your daughters and wives on women’s restrooms
Yeah, and as someone who’s been there and can enjoy alcohol responsibly now, if quitting seems like a huge commitment, take a month off. It’ll still be there when the month is over, but if you’re still craving it after the month maybe take some more time away.
Yeah I’m a trans woman in a red state and I’m treated as though I’m violating a taboo when I advocate for my own rights or bring up the fact that I’m leaving a right wing area for my own safety.
And I don’t think we’re coming back from this in our lifetime when it comes to international situation unless we wind up being rebuilt Germany style.
It may not be quite alcoholism, but it’s definitely a drinking problem. I’ve been there, had to pull myself back, take a break from the booze and reestablish a healthy relationship with it.
Remember, if you’re still drinking when you aren’t having fun it’s time fo stop for some time. And if you can’t find that balance it’s better to put it away for good.
But noticing and changing it early can be the difference between a long and drawn out battle with addiction and a significantly less difficult readjustment
Wonderful! And savor that weird feeling, it’s adventure and you might just get hooked on it
Assuming you’re American, your parents basically won the birth jackpot. The united states implemented a mixed economy shortly before the rest of the industrialized world was destroyed in a massive war, while we rapidly increased industrial capacity to aid the war effort.
Then right as that all slowed down shortly before you were born we began the process of neoliberalization. A process by which we received short term gains in exchange for giving up long term capacity and security. This kept the gravy train going for a while longer but it dropped the floor hard. And so we’re paying the price, as the rich refuse to accept any less. Additionally the main fast cash we can squeeze out at this point is through ecological devastation that will cost us multiple times what we get fairly quickly.
The meaning of Ohio as a slang term has resulted in me being able to say “I’m leaving Ohio because it’s gotten too Ohio for me”, which I find delightful
We become who we pretend to be.
I think I include the whole of the media circus in with lewinsky’s treatment. And I also think I might have higher expectations of employers than of husbands with dying wives.
OK that actually wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card
