there's a level of comedy in the cognitive dissonance anticommunist cubans here have that's like little else i've ever seen. "it's propaganda when cuban public figures speak positively of cuba overseas" except you were also just complaining that every diaspora cuban is doing mental math to figure how much of the year they can spend in cuba without losing residency once they get here...so they're not the only ones who miss it lol. also it's not propaganda when the USA is constantly smearing cuba as an intensely repressive society where everyone is miserable, even though the USA prohibits its own citizens from traveling to cuba without a first degree relative there to keep them from seeing for themself? "some people really actually believe that cuba's medical and education system are that good!!!" yeah, a lot of people, actually, on account of having world-standard care, developing our own covid vaccine after nowhere would sell their own to cuba, and exporting our professionals to work in other countries for everyone to see for themselves the results of cuban healthcare and education :3 you can't fabricate that whole cloth through propaganda. why is the cuban literacy rate higher than it is in the USA if our education is so shit? why is the cuban mortality rate and average lifespan higher than in the USA if it's so bad, even though we cannot even import aspirin from most of the world? why do diaspora cubans often still travel to cuba specifically to have surgery, because they trust the doctors and it's far less expensive? "everybody secretly hates cuban communism in cuba" and "the cuban people are too stupid to revolt, they don't want to" aren't statements that can coexist, buddy. how come people could revolt even though they were scared when it was spain, but the mere presence of communism suddenly conjures a situation where over eleven MILLION people are suddenly scared stiff to do anything against their government? A government they would have all the support in the world to overthrow, because it's extremely unpopular in the USA...if they actually wanted to? A government that has an attempted coup against it every other week sponsored by CIA and anticommunist cuban-americans, but that hasn't been gotten rid of by the people for some reason? "they force you to attend political rallies so that you know what the guy that is running for supports!!" compay I think your only issue with this is that you didn't want to pay attention, which explains why you think it's suspicious that other people listened, agreed, and voted for the guy, and why you don't know anything about the country you were fucking born in lmao

Pour one out for a real one.

Before January 2025:

If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!

Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.

Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

There are two basic arguments for shutting the fuck up about cishets at Pride.

First: What if a trans kid asks their parents to show their support by attending Pride with them? What if a lesbian can only attend pride if she gets a ride from someone and the only person willing and able to drive her is her straight brother? What if a bi disabled person can't attend a large outdoor event without hands-on assistance from their straight partner? What if someone just wants to bring their fucking friends? What if, contrary to popular tumblr discourse, most queers don't inhabit perfectly pure social bubbles populated only by other queers? What if it's none of your business?

Second and perhaps more important: If you think you can tell that someone is CIS, let alone HET, by LOOKING at them, you are a cop and an idiot.
