"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

I've never struggled quite this badly before! Blue and Bug each took about an hour and a half, but I was at least successful those times. He was so cute, I wanted him so badly

Polebridge, Montana, and the surrounding North Fork area only has around 100 full-time residents. On Saturday, the hamlet on the edge of Glacier National Park saw more than 60 people attend a No Kings Indivisible rally at the dirt road intersection.

Alex says "i'm going to take a selfie under harsh overhead lighting." She continues with resolute determination "I'm also gonna use a reeeeeal unflattering focal length." The selfie renders a predictably monstrous portrait. Alex looks at it and exclaims "OH GOD! I objectively look like this!"

The whole "sign up for your local No Kings protest!" push is so fucking stupid. Do not put your name on lists! Just show up!

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

When there’s so clearly more people who don’t want fascism than do want fascism it becomes pretty fucking unignorable that the Democratic Party has a widespread candidate, platform and messaging problem. Every election is theirs to lose, and they do.

That's what happened when they put me on birth control! My periods were horrific prior to that, so maybe the exhaustion was there and I just didn't know because it was overpowered by the pain and hemorrhaging, but bc made my periods super light but goddamn they whoop my ass every time.

If we're supposed to be paid to protest, then I need one of these funders to run me my checks because I think they've been getting lost in the mail

That sucks. There's gotta be a better way for this system to work. @ God: do you take constructive criticism?

[dreaming of a better world] Well for starters the Nazis are still around of course. And I'm debating the hell out of them. Look at me go! And the left are all watching me do it. Respecting me in their own way actually.
