ya, DID NOT VOTE is the perpetual GOAT, there aren’t as many ideologically committed liberals as people sometimes imagine. A great many people are vaguely liberal by osmosis but in no way engaged or invested in it
The ideal outcome from this is that Nancy Mace's and Mike Johnson's constituencies ask why the fuck they are so concerned about congressional bathrooms instead of doing their fucking jobs.
This is a fight that needs to be fought, but it should be fought in South Carolina's 1st and Louisiana's 4th congressional district
and the Soviet Union should still exist and I should shit candy and rainbows but I’m not holding my breath for any of the above. It’s also not about her “personal needs” (though it’s pretty important to be able to take a piss in the building you work at) but on the needs of all trans people to be able to exist outside in public without Sherclock Jones standing outside the shitter with labia calipers. She is a proxy for a larger fight, nothing happens in a vacuum
im so so sorry for your loss. your love for Mr Softie was obvious every time you posted about him and i wish you all the best in what is always a very difficult time. take care of yourself, visit him often, and be proud that you gave another living thing an amazing life full of love. much love to you and to Mr Softie as he is welcomed by all the other fur comrades at the other end of the rainbow
i do make one for myself often enough for work lunch, using this peanut butter and a smallish amount of blackberry preserves. i guess it's not a quinoa bowl or some shit but it's cheap and it works for the unpaid 30m break that i get.
This, nobody gives a shit about my blue hair sjw liberal arts degree unless they want to shame people or use it to explain why we should be a nation of 330 million self employed plumbers (no offense intended to tradies, love comrades in them, but it’s not for everyone nor accessible to everyone, same as college)
and even if they had to use reconciliation to bypass the filibuster the republicans unfortunately have no problem shoving the senate paramanchurian in a locker unlike the dorks on the dem side of the aisle
the only thing potentially stopping him is the MIC and intelligence apparatus so im doubtful we'll see any seismic change in those parts of the us govt that most deserve to be cut to ribbons but it only serves their purposes if he can blow up what remains of education and social safety nets without much destabilizing backlash. it's still just "advisory" to the omb which still goes through congress but it would take liberals fighting republicans like they fight vaguely left of center 'progressives' and im skeptical of their willingness to do that
