I was a toddler when Nixon resigned. A dozen years later my parents took me to see G Gordon Liddy speak. I came away believing that they all just did what had to be done, to fight the bad guys.
I live in the rural Midwest. Trumpers don't worry about nuclear war. They DO fear the loss of "our American way of life." (read: brown people, foreigners, trans folks, liberal judges...) The modern GOP has been peddling fear since Rush Limbaugh, they're quite skilled at it.
Totally. But I couldn't totally quit it even if I wanted to. I have to stay there because it's my job.
I am, but also I know it's a pretty niche interest. I am trustee fot a small public library district, and we're a strange breed.
Thanks! I need to follow up more folks, some there 'discover' feed becomes filled with less AI/Manga. It's, um, off-putting so far.
@liberallibrarian.bsky.social Is there a Public Library community here that I need to be following? (I am not a librarian, but I am a lib trustee.)
Been back <one day and blocked a guy already, because he was spamming multiple threads w/ disingenuous engagement bait. Hopefully it's an aberration and not portents of what the mass exodus from Twitter is bringing.
You seem nice.
I watched that segment, then I texted my son to come to the living room to watch it. Later, I forced my husband to see it too. One of the funniest things I've seen in forever.
