I just wanted to fix up a house and now look at this. I have no money to give you, even when I want to. Fuck crypto and the trumpsterfire.

I can't not do anything, but I also don't want to dignify their idiocy with a reply. Instead, I go through their replies, report everything that's a douche move, and then block. Because I'm petty and over the asshats.

I gotta say—we almost didn’t go this morning because my 5yo was really apprehensive then she saw the inflatable unicorns and pandas and sharks and then she was sold.

It just really seems that in the battle for hearts and minds the skull-masked thugs are ngmi.

In 2017 in the U.S., 73% of people believed transgender ppl deserved legal protection from discrimination, and 71% believed gender affirming care should be a right for trans ppl. Billionaire donors and media stooges deliberately manufactured the bigotry williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications...

The hatred of Greta Thunberg by a virulent core of middle-aged white men is a crystallisation of social media misogyny in general: It’s jealously combined with an inability to tolerate (or even understand) a woman in the public eye whose existence is defined by anything other than her sexuality.

I've heard "Not All Ticks," too. Not every tick has Lyme disease, but we avoid them as if they do.

Realising that you’re autistic can bring such clarity. You can now make sense of your life. You finally have answers

But it can also be disorienting and trigger feelings of grief. You spent your whole life misunderstood. Trying to be someone else

It takes time to unpack all that. And that’s ok ❤️

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

Ah. An escapee. I'm jealous, no lie. Inverness sounds lovely. But, we bought the dream house 2 years ago, and now we are locked in. No choice but to fight.

I really get a kick out of police cruisers with a bunch of descriptor decals like “Honesty. Integrity. Professionalism.” I always imagine a regular guy in a Honda Civic sporting “I’m a good boy” stickers

Nah. That's love of America. That's the real us. Whay you're seeing is hatred of our government. I'd never conflate all of England with Nigel or your king.

So, yes, fuck the trumpsterfire, celebrate the dancing frogs.

Yesterday, I called my reps.

"HI! Just wanted to give you some historical facts if that's okay?"

Ummm... sure?

"Did you know that even the janitors and secretaries working for the third Reich were prosecuted and convicted?"

Silence

"Have a great weekend!"

So they abandoned their post against a regime actively dismantling the Constitution that they swore to protect instead of gathering forces and removing the threat as is their sworn duty.

Got it.

You literally signed up for this.

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump

I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.
