Don't like that the news articles are accepting the framing of "illegal immigrants" in the headline when the names etc are unknown. Sure thats what the white house says they are, but they are not trustworthy

When you've convinced yourself that your parties membership is like twice the size it actually is you make great decisions
Probably something like:
4.3 terrible
2.4 average
3.3 great
This will bring grandfather such joy
Ah yes the huge concession of just not actually winning
🤮 Michigan feels safer than many other swing States but Peters, Nessel, Slotkin, Stevens, and Whitmer are getting worse by the day
Yes, the latest season is very much more on point with the vibe. One of the most pivotal moments, the fourth episode Road to the Spear, is almost identical to how it happened in the books.
Give it a whirl if you've got the time, the show has covered mostly up to the end of book 4, and I would say if you stick with it until the end of book six that is a good point to decide if you want to see it through or not. Also if you're an audiobook fan Rosamund Pike, Moiraine's actress has done the first four books as audiobooks. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading did the original audiobooks which cover the full series , and they are excellent with some phenomenal deliveries, but they did not agree on name pronunciations sometimes in the early ones.
Dana Nessel and the whole board of U of M should be removed from office over this. I doubt Whitmer will do it, but this has got to stop
He was. There are a number of interviews with him and for a time he was in a poly relationship
Um, when I was much younger, before I met Harriet, I had two girlfriends simultaneously, who arranged my dating schedule between them, who was going to date me on which night. They chipped in together to buy me birthday presents Christmas presents. You know, they just sort of shared me between them, you know. And they had been friends before, and I am not quite sure whether or not they made the decision they were both going to date me or not, on their own, before they first met me, it just came about.
Not all the books portrayals of kink are positive, but Robert Jordan was no stranger to the world of kink and queerness. There is at least one character who can be read as very transphobic, but also a part Perrin's storyline has a resolution that made myself and my trans partner cry happy tears. So just go in remembering when it is from, because some parts will probably frustrate, but it is worth the time.
Some little nuggets of kink:
- Lan and Nynaeve's marriage in the books also has some explicit power exchange vows.
- the description of the Oath Rods physical sensation is similar to a rope harness
- Sai'dar and Sai'din follow an (unfortunately gendered) kink split in how they are wielded
- the damane are a racist/horror colored petplay institution
- Mat has a 'relationship' with a very domme woman at one point that has a number of edgeplay elements
Hahahaha I think your impulse there would sit well with the author. There are a number of nods in the series to kink culture, and it is easy to see with a trusting partner that the A'Dam could be way cooler used recreationally
For fun or if you want inspiration here is Wikipedia's list of Christian Heresies you can say you believe are being discriminated against
