One place I used to live public transit was publicly funded and fares collected went towards supplementing road maintenance.

My mom worked full-time as a lunch lady, my dad full-time as a janitor. We had reduced lunch ($.40) and once got a letter for -.$20 with a $.34 stamp.

They’re sorting them like baby chickens.

In the US the process is to become too sick to work so you qualify for government assistance and hope some part of your safety net can keep you out of homelessness and cross your fingers for filling out paperwork correctly.

When and where I was growing up, bestiality and pedophilia were more socially accepted in a joked about/known it happened behind closed doors kind of way than being openly gay or transgender, I think in part because we couldn’t live behind closed doors.

My family would have been more accepting if I’d gotten caught abusing farm animals. As it was I had to get away from one side of the family before their hunting manhood ritual.

TSA isn’t anything more than security theater and harassment anyway.

If only the justice system was actually just and the scales not piled with gold

Being in a Transbian relationship keeps on being so gender affirming, I love it so much.

One of my friends regularly attends and hosts trans and genderqueer lesbian cuddle parties.

I’m part of a tabletop polycule (kitchen table, but ttrpg instead of having dinner), game night/cuddle party alternating weekends :3

The ET aliens aren’t real, but the ancient human seed aliens and woo aliens are.

First the immigrants and ethnic minorities were expelled from the country, and LGBT were persecuted.

When the allies freed the camps LGBT were tossed back into the jails.

Well you see, American propaganda has been focusing on racism and xenophobia while having a deep culture of punishment and using wealth as a moral litmus.

They’re ok with this because it’s punishing people who’s crimes include not being born white in the US or having enough wealth to insulate from consequences.

Public outcry only peaked because white people were killed for exercising their rights, too many are still ok with what’s going on when its happening to immigrants.

This was a mental health crisis brought on by transphobia based on my reading.

Last trans shooter was a trans man and his shooting was brought on because he was a victim of sexual abuse and a cover up in a catholic school.

Only about 5 trans shooters since we started tracking, >90% men, <9% women, <1% trans.

Violence is the language spoken by the unheard. I do not excuse the shooters, but understand they are victims of their own material conditions.

We need to do better.

Ah a true dark mode user.

Automate alibaba dropships for amazon and Etsy. Should still be tutorials floating around, it’s more saturated nowadays so there’s more time sink needed to find niche items.

Spend your time between turns doing fanart of your character. Even if you’re not good yet.

You just have to dip your balls in maple syrup like the soy sauce tiktok trend

checks the Internet search engine

American police are significantly more lethal, with fatal shooting rates in 2019 being 22 times higher (3.1 per million) than in France (0.14 per million).

… … I dunno, that feels like a pretty significant difference

French cops: using less lethals according to the manual.

'Merica cops: point blank, headshots (unless you’re preggers), gas the kids

DNC didn’t even investigate the 2024 fraud because the optics would have been bad after 2020. Just the threat of escalation is already doing extra voter intimidation, people will refuse to register to vote before even getting to the polls because they’re scared.

And it’s not like most of the left can keep from purity testing for their special interest tribe long enough to agree on anything.

Not like they need to wait until you’re in line at the polls to find yourself on a 3 day hold (maximum legal detainment without filing charges)

I might be sliding into nihilism. Nothing we post here matters.

From what I’ve heard they’re also keeping documents so the next time they get picked up they’re “undocumented”.
