for some reason, it never occurred to me that i at 5'3 would actually look small to someone say, 6'3 - 6'6. this is actually absurd.

How …bereft of common sense and intelligence a large portion of Americans are. Them folks in charge are boldly robbing us on the daily and they still got the nerve to support and defend the regime.

If you ever wondered why so many older black people drink Pepsi over Coke, it stems from racism.

"When you are sick"... tell me you are studiously ignoring asymptomatic but infectious cases (50%) without saying the words.

And the demand that *you do something trivially easy to protect others from a deadly, disabling pathogen* isn't unreasonable. It's the same as demanding you don't drive drunk

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

as a tall and formerly skinny woman, there’s definitely a difference between how we’re treated when we’re skinny, muscular, bigger. also how we dress. how we carry ourselves (because how dare a fat woman be confident, have needs, or demand respect). it’s gross! let people live!!!

Also, society in general loves to masculinize tall women, esp tall Black women, unless we’re runway-thin. Like femininity only counts in fun-size. It’s happened to Serena, Megan before she slimmed down, Queen Latifah, & so many others. Tall & thick doesn’t mean less woman, but are often treated so.

I keep seeing people mention that the Nazis modeled many of their policies on the Jim Crow South. And I see a bunch of people piling on to attack those posts, calling them idiots & suggesting they don't understand history.

Stop. The claim is true and accurate.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

I remember warnings from a number of political strategists saying the Dems should stop saying Trump 2.0 would be extreme and a threat to democracy because it was "so depressing" to voters.

MTG and Tucker Carlson have wagered that when this is over, as long as they’ve crossed over to the right side of history in time, ppl will forget/just not hold them accountable for their role in propping up the most dangerous administration in American history.
Sadly, they are going to be right

Rite aid closed, Walgreens is closing, and I’m stuck at the local CVS waiting in every isle for someone to come and unlock each item I want and bring it to the register… so I’m standing here like an asshole with a list and an empty basket waiting for the fucking baby wipes to be unlocked 🙄
