we can all agree it's a misleading name
but for none of the "ooh we're so traditionalist" "oooh we're the only ones correctly interpreting ancient doctrine" Catholics in this administration to know that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is about MARY being born without sin is banoonies

If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers*

I shall simply free the stuck wheel of bureaucracy by firing everybody who knows how to do things
Lesson one: Yes, you can do a lot of things if you break the law.
Lesson two: Doing something is not the same as doing a good thing - it is harder to build than it is to destroy.
Trump has built nothing like the TVA. His lawbreaking is not "freeing the stuck wheels of bureaucracy."

On a related note: buy books. Buy actual books. Buy actual books you can put in a stack so when someone comes to your place you can make them look at the stack and behold your books. The truth is buying one book can make your life better, and you can do it *over and over* and no one can stop you.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Why can't the right uphold free speech when it isn't about them?

Or: Why Millennials are Fucked, know it, and have been screaming about it for years.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

Remember when we were called “hyperbolic” for referring to these folks as Nazis?

Look. There's a reason we have college majors in theatre and film. There are world-renowned POST GRAD programs in acting.
It. Isn't. Easy.
It isn't easy to do, it isn't easy to make a career out of it, and getting the training isn't easy, either!
And, no, the degrees aren't worthless.

People keep saying this but I strongly disagree that most people can successfully perform an emotion on camera or speaking in front of a crowd if you merely authentically experience that emotion. It's much harder than you think it is. bsky.app/profile/inep...
It's still galling that a Democratic politician would need speech training and acting classes to learn how to convey anger at the demolition of the East Wing of the White House. So many Dem politicians are Turing Test failures, trapped somewhere in the uncanny valley between human and robot.
