I have a #loveislandusa theory: Harrison was brought in to replace Caine who we know pissed off the producers. Cassie was brought in to save Rob who can't leave bc of ratings.
The reason that the language of domestic abuse and the language of authoritarianism looks the same is because it's just the same thing on a different scale.
what industry are you in and what name is overrepresented in your work, because I'm in political non-profits and we are absolutely overrun with Sarahs here, lousy with them
Think about how the most righteously pissed off woman you've ever met, still expressed anger through a filter she developed for her own safety over her life.
Think about how men, who never had to develop those behavioral filters as survival mechanisms, express their anger at even trivial things
I've been working for 35 years and have never taken a proper vacation in my life, so when my sister (bless her heart) who is in recovery and has hardly worked ever and now gets to garden all day won't stop messaging me, I kind of want to lie down on the floor and cry. Yes I'm fucked up thanks.
and the most common cause of death of pregnant and immediately postpartum people is
MURDER

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!"
Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric
It's so obvious it's barely worth mentioning, but the right believes political violence and punishing their enemies and violent protest is for them to do to the left, and it is an affront to the natural order if done to them. That's it. The hypocrisy is part of the thrill.
Elon Musk: *gives $40 million dollars to a Donald Trump super pac*
Media: "it's impossible to draw conclusions from this"
Trump Shooter: *gives $15 to ActBlue once*
Media: "he was a true blue democrat, once again the liberals have bought violence to this country"
Happy Bastille Day! Remember that France followed America's example in their revolution, but improved on it by beheading their aristocrats instead of enshrining them at the top of a capitalist power structure. To this day their protests for workers' rights honor the memory of the guillotine π«π·π«‘
you see your pets twitching their little limbs in their sleep and say to your partner "look, it is running through a field in its sleep", you are wrong: your pet is in a casino: throwing dice, playing slots and video poker, walking on two legs and betting large on a blackjack table
