Conservatives legit want to talk about fear when ALL they have to fear is people disagreeing with them and deciding not to like them because their views support a campaign of fear that will negatively impact others.
Your fear is based on people being angry that you support their marginalisation… Ffs
I’ve gone viral? Sort of? Wow 😳
My viral Twitter moment from 2017, a few months into the Dumbass Regime.
Universal basic income would cause a massive economic boom as people who could previously barely get by decide to buy things like cars and houses and dishwashers and new clothes and employ the services of repair techs at need instead of putting it off indefinitely.
When I started getting $525 a week in extra unemployment at the start of the pandemic, I spent so much money just replacing everything in my apartment that was either irreparably broken or had been driving me crazy for years.
srsly, most poorer or even middle income ppl spend all they get.
Give more money to bezos & co and they’ll just tuck it away in a tax haven or do stock buybacks.
yet unemployment money and welfare are controversial (let alone UBI) while corporare bailouts aren’t, all because of irrational stereotypes.
I work at a hardware store that was considered “Essential”. Those first couple of stimulus check where a very hectic time for us because so many people where all coming in at the same time to get supplies for the projects they had never been able to do before but suddenly had the money to finally take care of.
April 18th 2020 will forever be burned into my brain because that was the day we had so many people come in for those projects that the parking overflowed the lot into the main road almost to the nearest interstate, and the line stayed all the way to the back of the store for all 8 and a half (the appliances manager hopped on the pro-service desk register but that can only take card not cash) from noon till an hour and a half before closing
And it wasn’t just our local store, hardware stores everywhere were apparently so inundated by the wave of people doing saved up projects by the grace of Covid Money that it caused a chain wide national glitch in our system that messed with the card readers, forcing us to hand type every credit and bank card for 5 hours
While that day was mildly traumatizing for me I can say that I’ve born witness to what happens when people are finally given the means to help themselves. They buy the things you want them to buy and they do the work to better their situation.
I think if Q and lwaxana troi had both been on the enterprise at the same time, picard wouldve politely said “if you would please excuse me” and simply shot himself into space
Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN Medical Analyst, said last week, “A surprising amount of death will occur soon…” But why, when the deadly Delta variant is sweeping the world, are Republicans and their media warning people not to get vaccinated?
There’s always a reason. People don’t do things — particularly things involving a lot of effort and a need for consistency — without a reason. It just doesn’t happen. No matter how bizarre, twisted or dysfunctional the reason may be, there’s always a reason.
“Death is their electoral strategy.”
This shouldn’t be a startling revelation. Death is also the Republicon solution for poverty, for public health care, for clean air and water access, and for the climate crisis.
We have TV shows about blacks, about LGBTQ, about mixed families. You know what I want? TV shows about people with disabilities. Give me shows with paraplegics, with autistic people, with blind and deaf people, with Epileptics, with people suffering from depression, anxiety, migraines.

while i do sometimes use fakespot in conjunction, i highly recommend using reviewmeta instead
no matter what algorithms used, its bound to make mistakes and flag ordinary things as suspicous, so being able to look at these things helps give the user a better idea of whats going on
fakespot doesnt really give you that information, whereas reviewmeta is completely transparent and lays out the data to let you determine whether somethings really suspicious or not. this blog post goes more into detail on that
Like the slow, dignified, cautious start, the growing warm of the chords coming in behind the melody which sounds … old-fashioned. Patient. Like the waves on the shore. It gets warmer and glowy-er, more decadent, more emotional. Then the guitars come in and the high strings bittersweet, with the other string line like the wings of birds fluttering. It sounds like hope and constancy, like love that is wise and careful and mature, like slow cautious affection that turns into something effervescent, a love that makes the lovers age backwards…
I love this music so much I’m getting really soppy lmao. I cant help myslef. This music on it’s own has made me cry so often lol
The Battlestar Galactica score is, hands down, the greatest media score ever. Period. Uncontested.
“Put simply, I believe these Republicans are trying to promote outbreaks of Covid in America to soften or damage Joe Biden’s red-hot economy on the assumption that if the economy tanks then people will vote out Democrats and vote in Republicans in 2022 and 2024.”
