Also? I dont want anyone who wants to be able to murder people with no repercussions to carry a firearm. I mean, I dont really want cops to exist at all but like especially that kind
What leftists fear isn’t an ~imperfect candidate~
What leftists fear is a democrat will take the reins from Trump, continue on the same path only with better PR, and then half the angry voices we thought were backing us up have suddenly disappeared.
Seems like a fun time to bring back this extremely controversial post!!!
where can I meet this guy’s wife
How do these loser redit men get these incredibly talented and fascinating women lmao
i saw someone complaining that adora and glimmer patched things up too quickly after glimmer was rescued and that it wasn’t “fair” that bow got to be angry and adora didn’t, but adora literally says it herself that bow was too wrapped up in trying to get glimmer back that he never let himself process everything that happened. adora had been at odds with glimmer for weeks, months, and all she had been doing was overthinking and processing, and her and glimmer dragging out their respective pain for so long is why they blew up at each other in the first place. that’s exactly why they made up so fast because they realized how stupid they both had been. bow on the other hand was occupied cleaning up after the two of them. if he’d been the one to just immediately make up with glimmer and adora the one to keep dragging it out literally no character development would’ve happened for any of them.
The Venn diagram people saying “China lied people died” and people who are praising Donald trump for stripping away the CDC’s ability to accurately report the numbers is a circle
This is on a more selfish note but homeschooling my child has been the weirdest experience for me. Being homeschooled by my dad for most of elementary school was awful, it’s where a lot of physical and psychological abuse started for me and the whole program was a very Christian based thing, which also has its own set of problems. I still talk about it in therapy sometimes because it was such a detrimental setback for me both academically and mentally!
And i expressed some concerns to my (adopted) grandmother and she pulls out the line “well, i know who homeschooled you,” coming for my dads LIFE while also subtly reminding me that I’m not my dad.
I’m glad that when this all started I had mostly moved past what happened to me as a kid, but I’ve had to essentially tie up loose ends? The first few times I homeschooled my kid I just started sobbing! It felt like all the work I’ve done for the past literal decade was for nothing, like all of a sudden being the teacher in a homeschool setting inherently made me an abuser, which is an absurd thing for me to think because a) im not going to suddenly transform into a horrible person because im teaching my kid now.
Its been a few months and I can safely say that I actually like being my kid’s teacher. Its something we both look forward to now, we get to be silly and have fun and he’s learning how to read and write and do math and i guess im essentially saying that I’m proud of my kid, and im proud of myself for once
I got an email from the elementary school yesterday and I legit cried when I read that they’re offering remote learning at my child’s school.
And this decision has fucking sucked! He’s been so excited to go to kindergarten for over a year now! But even if he did do in person stuff its a) dangerous and b) would probably be more traumatic than just keeping up the homeschooling. How awful would it be for a 5 year old to not be able to hug or play with his friends at all? The weird spaced seating, the intense sanitation, not to mention this is (i think) the first year he has to do active shooter drills. He’s just 5 he doesn’t even have a firm grasp on days of the week yet, and he’d understand that all these precautions are because of The Sickness but I can’t do that to my kid! And I’m frustrated and scared and sad for all the parents and kids who live in district’s that aren’t even bothering to do remote learning.
Kids aren’t guinea pigs! We can’t use them to see how fast this virus can really spread holy shit. It’s disgusting, and also disregards how schools are not closed systems and that this will affect everyone’s communities at all ages.
Butch and fem/me are not things you flip-flop between, they are not something you pull out of your closet on the whim of the day
They’re not fun styles for you to play around with
Y’all please listen to lesbians and stop being disrespectful to our identies
pres. trump sent federal troops into portland to squash the protests and they shot someone in the head with an impact round last night and shattered his skull. his blood is still on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse. they are not like local cops and they are NOT fucking around. they carry ARs with live ammo and they are merciless. i am very sincerely scared that federal forces are going to instigate a kent state type situation by killing protesters as an example sometime between now & november and i am very scared it’s going to be here
Video of the protester who was shot being carried away by medics while bleeding everywhere (obvious TW). He is alive but was in critical condition when he arrived at the hospital & needed extensive facial + skull reconstruction surgery. At the time they shot him he was standing on the sidewalk with both hands holding a boombox above his head
Video of a federal officer kneeling on someone while he has a seizure; they did not allow medics to help him. There is word that this person may have died but afaik that is still unconfirmed
Video of federal officers chasing & assaulting medics tending to an unresponsive protester
Video of 15 feds forcibly arresting a disabled trans person and taking away their service dog for the crime of writing on the federally owned sidewalk in washable sidewalk chalk
Full live tweet thread of the night (7/11/20) with a lot more video footage, especially of the absolutely ludicrous amounts of tear gas they used
sorry for the long post—i am not sure how much national coverage this is getting and i really want people to know what’s going on here. they are behaving like an occupying army & treating citizens like enemy combatants
So the secret police are coming for citizens in the US?
Since I just had the unfortunate gut punch experience of realizing I’d been inadvertently following a goddamn aphobe, here’s your regular reminder that:
* Aromantic and asexual people are valid
* Aromantic and asexual people belong in LGBT & queer spaces
* If you have a problem with this, please fuck right off.
