agreeing on democracy while disagreeing on policy, even very very deeply, is in fact fundamental to the entire democratic project

Listening to a kid tell her mom about her intense and complex game and listening to an info dump even from a distance is giving me a twitch. I. Am. So. Tired. Also, I want to smash the whole internet, it’s out of hand.

I love my trans kid and whatever dems decided today was the day to try and "gotcha" Trump for being too nice to incarcerated trans people can fuck off forever. And if I didn't have a trans kid, if it wasn't personal for me and my family, same answer. They can fuck off. We care for everyone.

This is the first time the Harris campaign has even mentioned trans people and it's an offensive gotcha scandalizing our healthcare. With friends like these...

Something the anti-trans right does is manufacture controversy around individual parts of a trans person's existence to allow a lot of people who don't think of themselves as hateful to nonetheless adopt positions that, at their core, reject trans people's subjectivity over our own lives.

Also, my daughter just told me that her freshman English high school teacher is teaching them to use AI as a “tool” and I need to go make coffee to cry into.

This election has already cost me my astrologer, which stings. She got got by Jill Stein because Kamala and Joe won’t break up with Israel and all the genocide. I wish Israel would stop the genocide and apartheid, it’s all so overwhelming and horrifying. But Don and Kamala are *not* the same.

The surprising thing is that Marxist radical Angela Davis endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris while Klansman David Duke endorses Green Party candidate Jill Stein is completely unsurprising.

this is of course very upsetting but I think even more upsetting is how Milley said this and then Bob Woodward just nodded sagely and made a note of the conversation to include in his book six years later.

Here's the full, chilling quote from Trump's former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, the retired Gen. Mark Milley, in Bob Woodward's new "War." "You have got to stop him! ... He is the most dangerous person to this country. ... A fascist to the core!"

Can I schedule whatever that upper endoscopy light anesthesia nap was like once a week? Bi-weekly? That might actually fix me.

Happy Jimmy Carter can vote for Harris day, to all who celebrate
