I've been hanging out with a co-worker lately, and I'm kind of confused about if she just wants to be friends or something more. I'm really bad at reading social cues and understanding them, so this is tough for me.

@Kaysymmetry I can sympathise. I'm also horrible at reading social cues. I honestly don't know what to tell you except, I get it and it sucks.

Privatizing a national political party is a thing now? Show more

HEY CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST.....NO REPRESENTATION, WITHOUT TAXATION...

contact your senator and tell them to promote this...see how long they still want to take over.

White people (especially men) have a very strong sense of entitlement ... and I think that is one of the primary reasons for their aggressive self-centering, audacity, caucacity, and arrogance.

That entitlement, enabled and strengthened by white supremacy and patriarchal bias, creates this kind of mild sociopathy and narcissistic behavior that seems prevalent in most men I encounter online.

What's the phrase? Not all men, but always a man. Not all white men, but always a white man.

"Despite what many pro-Israel or pro-Hamas hardliners suggest, it is possible to be both appalled and horrified at the civilian deaths in Gaza and support the existence and defense of the state of Israel. Indeed, many Americans hold both these views because it is a very reasonable position, reflecting the horrors and complexity of the conflict.” My new Kibitzing with Lincoln.

In 1829-1830, Mexico abolished slavery.

This hurt the feelings of immigrants to Mexico from the United States who wanted to protect their 'property' in slaves.

Accordingly, in 1835-1836, they launched an insurrection against Mexico to form their own government which would protect slavery.

The first thing they did on setting up their new "Republic of Texas" was to enshrine in its constitution the right to own slaves.

That's what anybody commemorating "Texas Independence" is celebrating.

MAGAs are not happy over the arrest of Blaze Media's Steve Baker. Baker he was in the Capitol building on J/6 & had admitted he was at Nancy Pelosi's office & said, "...you know it couldn't have happened to a better deserving b----," He also antagonized a Capitol Police & said, Are you going to use that [gun] on us?!"

“You have trafficked in innuendo, distortion, and sensationalism — all the while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence staring you in the face. You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn’t any.”

In 1995 Quebec's independence referendum very narrowly failed. The governing racists and criminals retaliated by doubling tuition for out-of-province university students (non-francophone and often non-white).

Last year the scum in charge doubled it again.

The few remaining California Republicans have short memories.

The VA secretary has released a ruling: Transgender veterans will not be given gender reassignment surgery medical benefits.

This move is sure to raise questions about the Biden Administration's commitment towards transgender people.

2/2: ...and likes cheese. He ran over to his pet humans when they got out of their truck. They were very glad to see doggo and everyone else was okay. I received permission to wander by and visit when I am out of my walks, seeing as how I do see Hawk frequently in the fenced-in back yard on my way by.

So yeah. Nifty doggo thing happened.

@Cdn_Skeptic_Wm Rainbows are banned. How unutterably sad and lost these folks are

@Cdn_Skeptic_Wm "politically neutral" is a bullshit phrase being used the same way as "parental rights", to attack the LGBTQ community.

How very Albertan. They might as well tattoo "religious bigot" on their foreheads. I know not all Albertans are rednecks, but far, far too many are.
