Oh, wow. I certainly was not expecting an assassination of a CEO anytime soon, despite how chaotic things are going to get. If the executive class starts feeling like they're on the chopping block, things could get very bad for the working class, especially with Trump on the horizon. Unlike us, they have class solidarity.
Yep, the moment you have to explain it, you've already lost; the normies will check out. That's the thing, these sites depend on having a huge userbase and people just aren't going to go to a site with "nobody on it". I maintain an account on both Mastodon and Bluesky... they're both pretty neat in their own way. But Mastodon isn't ever going to be the virtual town square. I kinda like it quiet there, tbh.
yeah, I live in Washington state, so I'm covered there. though, I'm not exactly enthused about my life depending on politicians deciding not to capitulate. thankfully, we bucked the trend this election and actually went more left.
I got an ADHD diagnosis and started on adderall a few months ago. I fucking hate these people so much.
so i guess even if they manage to forcibly detransition me and not just kill me, I have this to look forward to? fuuuuuuck.
He was a few years ago, though I think the courts finally made him fuck off. his grift may have caught up with him.
lol, I still have no idea why he did that
ugh, Eyman is insufferable. dude tried to force $30 car tabs for like two decades.
I saw that. I'm very glad we got one of our own in Congress, but it's likely too little, too late.
I don't think I'll be able to go anywhere, realistically, anyway. I'm going to hold down the fort in my blue state and hope they shield me from the worst.
thank you. I really appreciate that.
Had my name change hearing a couple days ago, I'm now legally Audrey! Going to the office for the first time in girl mode and I'm terrified. I'm honestly kinda concerned that the timing of this might prevent me from voting. I live in Seattle, though, so it won't affect the Presidential election
We're seeing capitulating and knee-bending all over lately, and this trend is just going to accelerate. Like, the system is NOT going to save us. It gave up before the fight even began.
We're going to have to come to terms with the fact that if we're going to get through this, we'll need to save ourselves. The time for building communities and engaging in mutual aid is now. We need each other. Do NOT comply in advance.
