Well yeah, that’s the American Dream right? That if you’re smart and work hard, you’ll be rich?

Trump still owes my county from his 2016 campaign. He rented out the fairgrounds for a rally and never paid up.

Not directly, but you’re contributing to the profit of the platform.

Somehow Walmart is leading innovation, launching a butthole logo in '07. Truly ahead of their time.

Aluminum is the poster child for recycling, really. It takes more energy to extract it from the ore than it is to recycle it.

If y’all want to burn the white house down again, I’ll bring marshmallows for us to roast on the flames.

Honestly, ‘patriarchy’ is a terrible term that leads to so much confusion. Too many people use it as ‘blame men’ and forget that it’s supposed to be about men being culturally cast as perfect leaders and therefore punished for not meeting those impossible standards.

I have high hopes that the spreading acceptance of transfolk will start to break down the weird gender roles we’ve got, and maybe we can talk about some of this stuff more directly.

I’m in the middle of pulling a chat friend out of his programming. His only real problem was being raised in Texas by a Good Ol Boy single father, and once he got out from under his dad’s wing, he started to realize that what he was taught simply isn’t lining up with reality.

He started out as an incel, but now he’s in therapy and has a girlfriend.

I think of it less as ‘converting’ and more just holding his hand while he figures out that his dad’s advice was complete horseshit. It takes forever, and not everybody has the spoons to pull it off, but I do, so I will.
