If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

been thinking about that. the racism re: Obama was bad enough, but the misogynist would be next level

she hasn't really spoken about it much since stepping down but it's believed to be a big, big part of why jacinda ardern stepped down from the PM role. Which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it's 100% true.

Is it too simplistic of me to say anonymity should be removed from all social media? I know, some people need it for valid reasons but the net damage is fukn enormous

it wouldn't help. Facebook is still a cesspool even with their real name policy

True. But in a little country like Aotearoa maybe it would put a lot of social pressure on people not to be C***s?

I live in a fairly small town and our local FB scene is a fucking gong show of dickheads

Between FB and Nextdoor, I have no desire to talk to any of my neighbors in person.

Nextdoor: OMG a blue Honda I've never seen before just drove down my street with TWO GUYS INSIDE!!!!! I lasted about a week there.

LOL I started our neighborhood's Nextdoor (and it makes you the moderator when you do that). As soon as most of my neighbors joined I bailed so fast. These people have ISSUES.

Yeah. They should all go outside and touch grass more often. Or at least once, even.

It doesn't help that I live in a rural town in Boebert's former district. 😆

i'm about to move to a small town filled with hippies and retirees, everybody knows everybody's business, and because my grandfather was from there, I don't think I'll tell people my last name, if i interact with them at all 🤣
