I’ve immersed myself in tumblr again because I can’t handle Facebook. 

I’m at a point where I’m wondering what the fuck is wrong with men? The people I still know who are trump supporters at this point are men, women who drink all the patriarchy koolaid and vote as the men in their lives tell them to, and absolute nutters.

Oof....today in “things Betty shouldn’t read this close to election day.” 

And my mom wonders why I won’t move back to Mississippi...

I do think that would help, TBH. I also think it’s related with how people are taught to approach things that are different from them. One thing I distinctly remember from the churches I attended growing up and the community I was in, everything different from us was framed as a threat to our very existence. It…

I’m glad to hear! She turned three a little over a week ago. I can’t believe I’ve had her for three years! Seems like yesterday I was snuggling on the couch with a little puppy. 

She’s currently melting into my heated blanket. We moved down to Tacoma, immediately hated it, and moved back to the exact same neighborhood we were in lol! I started learning pole (dancing and aerial) at the beginning of the pandemic. How’s life been for you? 

My favorite part of this episode is how angry Kanye got about it, thus further enforcing the joke. 

The ACTUAL corrupt stuff is boring. It’s run of the mill corruption that we’ve seen in American politics for decades. Trump wants DRAMA and SCANDAL! He wants “HILLARY EMAILS.” He runs his campaigns like reality TV, and the conspiracy theorists love it. I’m hoping this time around we’re more immune because we’ve seen…

God, the things I would give to never have to hear about a Trump again. -cries-

I feel like it isn’t just that they are sheltered (though that is a big part of it), it’s also that when they do encounter different beliefs from them (as we all do, inevitably in our lives), they do not approach with curiosity, they approach with fear. Republicans are the most fearful, distrustful people I have ever…

I always feel like it’s being raised in a way or in a community that’s so insulated that you never question beliefs, and then are terrified by the prospect of that way of life being wrong or not being like that forever. I was raised in a devoutly Evangelical southern baptist household that was also devoutly…

Rumors of Kim divorcing his ass have swirled for this entire year, and honestly if she does, I fully expect him to come at her with all the same slut shaming BS that he puts on amber.

What a fantastic idea!

I mean, ya...we aren’t buying anymore than we usually would. I’m just buying earlier than I normally would and from more sources. My bakery started selling bags of baking supplies early in the pandemic, so I just added that to my thanksgiving pre-order items from them with my pie crusts and breakfast scones instead of…

We are too. I ordered basically everything I’ll need for Thanksgiving yesterday (including going ahead and pre-ordering our turkey from the butcher), and am starting to buy and freeze anything I can’t preorder. Christmas supplies are next, which luckily my christmas cooking tends to be more minimal than thanksgiving.

Yea this was basically my experience. In 2008, I could vote but was still in high school in my very small town in the south and living with my very republican parents. I voted the same as my parents the first time, but was thrilled Obama won. I graduated the next year and went to college and by the midterms was voting…

Can’t I just love fall because it isn’t hot as balls anymore, the rain comes back, and it starts getting wonderfully, peacefully dark again without it being an intellectual exercise?

I’ve been good at substituting it with “person” and just using whatever pronouns the person prefers. “This person in class said blah blah blah, and I thought she made some really good points.”

Were there any videos of Cain though? Wasn’t he hospitalized the entire time and all of these were reports from his people? I just think it’s a waste of energy to dwell on all these theories while Trump is clearly doing better than Cain was (I mean, he’s clearly not 100%, but I just don’t think he will be kicking the…
