I told my dad just now in the united states schools they make you stand up to do the pledge of allegiance each morning and each classroom has a flag and he was like "no way why do they do that" because they're indoctrinating the children here

I told him also about one time in hs there were these two white girls who never stood up and there was a teacher who was subbing for a couple mins for our original teacher that was late and she was really... pro American military and all that. I usually didn't stand but because of this teacher I stood since i was the only brown kid there, not putting my hand to my heart, but the other two white girls didn't stand at all. And this teacher came up and was like "at least stand up" to them and they were like "no i don't think we will...." and she SLAMMED the desk and stormed out and our original teacher who was super chill came and she was like hi what happened.

My dad when he heard this story was like "that's so weird" like yeah it was super weird.

Since Trump took office all videos with American Sign Language interpreters have been removed from the White House website and YouTube channels. What could be the point of this beyond pure cruelty?

curious that you think I'm a bitch, considering the homunculus clone of you that I keep in my basement has never said something like that to me. could it simply be that the stresses of your daily life are making you irritable?

remember in 2007 or 2008 when emo was at its peak and gay marriage wasn't legal and so we had boys in eyeliner and skirts making out with each other at the mall in protest. i think we need this again

This is a really in-the-weeds post but if you grew up in America hearing about how social security is going to go bankrupt, let me tell you two things about it.

1.) the income cap is 168k. No income is taxed above 168k. If you make $700k as a cardiologist you pay the same amount as a software engineer that makes 20% of what you do.

2.) The world-ending tax increase that people talk about would be raising it from 6.4% to 8%, a whopping 600 dollars more per year on an income of $50,000. About $31 per paycheck. Nobody seriously proposes this despite how utterly nothing it is, because in America, taxes are ontologically evil.

3.) I lied there's a third thing. The proposal that is most consistently floated as being the "best option," is raising the retirement age, from 65 to anywhere from 67-72. Life expediencies are dropping year over year and this is very much people gambling that you will die before you can legally claim your checks.

Anyway. This isn't about any current political moment, i just watched an episode of the west wing and this shit drives me bonkers.

everyone trying to own trump about the "he doesn't know sex isn't determined at conception" thing really fundamentally does not understand what the point of that was, and learned basically nothing from his first term. he is not invested in scienve, biology, or any rational discussion where his provably false beliefs would be subject to scrutiny. he is signaling to everyone in the country that it does not matter what you say, he will never care and he will take every action to enforce these views and embolden his followers with the same rhetoric. you cannot logically talk to a person like this when they are reasoning with emotion, not logic. you cannot dunk the transphobia away. someone post the vonnegut quote.

the only barrier once you are a certain slur's identity to reclamation is to call yourself that slur with your chest. i'm a faggot. i'm a tranny. i'm a dyke. and i'm very, very glad i get to be all those things.
