The thing about the MAGA Crowd: they only have an empty slogan. It has power, but it doesn’t have substance. It is an illusion easily dispelled because it doesn’t understand what makes America great in the first place.
It’s a shared commitment to each other.

Underlying all the cruelty, all the hate, all the violence, is a single thread: when confronted with a reality which does not suit their tastes, conservatives demand reality change. Since they cannot *actually* change reality, they demand that everyone *act* as if their preferred reality were real.

I took a week off for no reason whatsoever. No plans, no commitments, just taking each day as it comes.
Day one and I'm eating peanut M&M's for breakfast.

Also, to anyone who thinks there was a halcyon innocent age in Bluesky's past where no one ever had to banish others from their timelines: There is a reason "Don't engage, just block" is so deeply etched into the Bluesky collective psyche. We've been doing that since the "Bluesky Elder" days, y'all.

Most of these takes? These hills I die on? They come from me imagining how my mom would handle a new situation like this.
I actually care about her and all of the people out there who may not want to or otherwise have a hard time using their phones for everything and I think it's fucked up not to.
