Hi 👋🏾 I decided my disabled 40s was the perfect time to retrain as a midwife because Dobbs is killing people and birth was already deadly for Black families. There's $3885 left of the campaign I started in 2022, & I'm juggling 5 different gigs while trying to complete training. gofund.me/fa575291

I mean without any real historical evidence from verifiable civilized sources my guess is the Lost City of Rome was either built by space aliens or a displaced group from Asia, Africa, or the Americas.

They want you taking a side in the liberal/conservative paradigm, so you continue to not notice your role in the oppressed/oppressor one.

i don't buy from uline for my shop because of this! if anyone has questions about where i get shipping materials and shop stuff without them im happy to point you toward the best stuff i've found

For anyone curious about Uline, we reported in 2022 on how the boom in online shopping had enriched the company's owners, who have used their wealth to fund far-right causes: www.propublica.org/article/ulin...

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denialwww.propublica.org A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Another factor is people feeling helpless in being able to affect the wider world around them so doing everything they can to try & dictate within what they perceive as their little corner of it but this learned helplessness really only serves to let actual people with actual power off the hook imo

Just in general a lot of people in the US act out of an impulse to be "in charge." So across the spectrum you see people making demands on people they’re not in actual relationship with and lashing out when people simply refuse to accept their apparent authority.

It's understandable that ppl don't know what to do, we've been shunted into this idea that a narrow version of electoral politics is the ONLY path to change. We DO have to vote, but there is SO MUCH MORE. Places you can start: mutual aid groups (www.mutualaidhub.org) community action groups 1/?

Oh my Lordt. He quietly asked me if he was dressed that bad. I smiled my blandest smile and replied: I mean, I don't really know what the "straight" dress code is. I'm sure for a straight White guy, you're probably fine. I saw his soul die in his eyes. Truly damning with faint praise in here. 🤣

A straight guy got burned so fast and cold I needed to step outside: Him, to a lesbian friend: Why do hot women want to date women who dress like dudes when there are dudes to date. Her: I dunno, you dress like shit and you're not worried your girl's gonna pick the toilet. Maybe there's more to it
