People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

It pisses me off that gay people are hated mostly because of some poorly translated ancient outdated book full of other bullshit idiots base their entire lives on. Religion is a curse, man.

Yeah I can, quality in arts is about craft and allowing it to flourish not about technological advancements you stupid ape.

Everyone deserves a place to call home.

The solution to homelessness is safe, affordable housing.

Miller complaining about protestors-- "respectable" old white ones, no less!-- is a strong sign that

1) they are scared of protest;

2) protests are happening; and

3) they are having an impact, even if the media refuses to cover them.

It is worth remembering that the Trump admin is way out over its skis here.

To consolidate power, they need a solid administrative state.

They gutted the administrative state before meaningfully attempting that consolidation.

Now, they are flailing and facing dissent they can't contain.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Something to think about this Ren Faire Season... Make your Trinkets to Trade Biodegradable. We don't need more useless plastic on our earth. Thrift for silly little things! Don't buy new things.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Creating my garb has been the most interesting approach to costuming I've had in a while. I'm making CLOTHES. These have to be constructed for durability and for all kinds of weather. Not quite as strict as SCA guidelines, but still a fun and challenging build for my own character.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
