Yeah, I think Kamala even had fewer total votes compared to Biden in 2020. People just didn’t vote, because why the fuck would they??? No one was giving them a reason!

Because it’s less a matter of more people voting republican and more a matter of not enough people voting Democrat.

Why did people not vote Democrat? The party refuses to be popular, had no real policy proposals, and actively alienated key voting blocks in key swing States.

I remember when that subreddit was first started, and it was full of communists and anarchists, who were interested in spooky occult shit.

It eventually got fucking swamped by liberals with the most asinine takes. So that’s cool…

I love that Tumblr ads are becoming meme fodder for other websites.

I work in food service, and this guy just wanted to keep yammering on and on about how much he hated his wife, and how annoying she is, and Blah blah blah.

I hope she leaves him.

Meanwhile, I keep trying to get my “Hexbear slur filter suppresses queer expression” take to become a rousing struggle session

I actually really like the way that the Chevron breaks up the stripes of the rainbow. However, a better designed flag would make the chevron a single color.

Before he died, Gilbert Baker suggested adding a lavender stripe for Diversity to the rainbow flag. I say make the Chevron a single lavender color.

In lieu of that though, I like the progress flag in the way that I like the flag of Maryland. It’s so bad it loops back around to being charming.

If I want good queer flag design, I’ll go to the bi, trans, and intersex flags. Most everything else is garbage tbh. For a group of people stereotyped as having an eye for aesthetics, we’re garbage at flags.

Love me some Milt Jackson! The soft tones of that vibraphone are great for background music while studying

Also, as an aside, there’s an old book on Wicca from the 70s called A Witch’s Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar, which at one point encourages readers to study Marxism and Dialectical Materialism, because the underlying spiritual philosophy of witchcraft is very dialectical. And I think that’s pretty cool

3. Wandering Son - it’s a manga/anime about a group of queer middle school kids as they navigate growing up. The plot principally revolves around friends Nitori Suichi, a trans girl, and Takatsuki Yoshino, a trans boy. Though there are other trans characters that come in and out of the story.

They’re mostly represented quite well. Especially in the anime. The manga has some notable stumbles however, that should be known about going in.

Mild spoiler >!Yuki, an older trans woman who acts as a mentor to the kids, and her husband, get uncomfortably touchy-feely with the kids when they’re first introduced in the manga. This gets course corrected pretty quickly in the manga thankfully, and isn’t present at all in the anime adaptation!<

Major spoiler >!In the Manga, Takatsuki is shown at the very end to no longer consider themselves trans. The text implies Takatsuki isn’t actually cis, but is instead in the midst of an evolution in how they conceive of their gender, which us left open to interpretation. However, it’s handled poorly and doesn’t really land very well, and is known to be alienating to some trans masc readers. Again, this isn’t an issue in the anime!<

4. The anime is good! The Manga is a meh, for the aforementioned stumbles.

But Wandering Son is the piece of media that ultimately convinced me that I need to transition. So I’ve got a huge soft spot for it

The notion that human beings are separate and apart from the natural world is colonialist nonsense.
