@DavidSalo *its* consequences
@DavidSalo I’m trying not to pay attention to him — the time for paying attention to him is past. I did pay attention. I know who he is. The clarity that has come with realizing I’ve been in denial about who Americans are is quite energizing. I have people in my life I no longer need to waste time or energy on. I don’t feel badly about that. #politics
@DavidSalo David, I always enjoy your posts. I understand your bleakness right now. It’s hard to ignore the impending peril. The U.S. just got a lot more dangerous. I’m terrified, of course, for myself, for my daughter, for people in my community. I’ve decided to throw myself into my creative work, to give the shit show itself no energy, but to track it’s consequences, and to help innocent people suffering those consequences. Simple, but even those things feel dangerous to me now. #politics
@SaltyVeruca Ah. I misread, but now I follow. “He’s a rapist, racist, liar, felon, moron insurrectionist part-time cheap merch salesman, sure, who let a million Americans die because he couldn’t be bothered to handle a health crisis, but I believe he can fix the price of eggs.”
@SaltyVeruca hope you reported them.
@JessicaPerthWA Welcome!
@Hobyrim I don’t even know where to begin. My plan is to just try to help people who are going to suffer the most from this horror, and turn my back on the people who did this, either by voting for him or because of some “purist” bullshit. Let them all have what they asked for. And please, don’t bite your tongue. It needs to be said and we need to hear it.
@YogaSteve Why did I laugh so hard at this?
@th3j35t3r LOL. I don’t know wtf I just did, but I think I did it. I didn’t download my data. I don’t have any tech game, so I hope it’s good enough.
@th3j35t3r I definitely want to — am trying to follow your steps, but x isn’t letting me create a new account using hide my email. Any suggestions? Try later?
@DevinY1 Where are you seeing that?
@paxterrarum BRILLIANT!
@Studio_M_ And I put more stock in your ggd’s predictive map than any other out there! #election
@MrsE0113 That’s good to know — there’s a better than 50% chance I show up tipsy for my banjo lesson tomorrow. Hell, it’s not like it’s gonna make it worse. 😆 #VoteBlue #VotedEarly
@Charles_Hawtrey It’s difficult to put all the context in a single character-limited post, but, trust me, based on all our previous conversations about politics, his bringing it up at all was an obvious signal to me that he voted with me, at least on POTUS47. Happily.
Feel good stories #politics edition no.2: I butt-dialed a white male Republican friend of ours this a.m. He called back, we figured out the mistake, but we chatted and he closed with “Don’t forget to vote!” I told him I already had; he said “Me too!” He had previously shared with me that he voted for TFG in 2016, then saw how TFG had no moral compass, and regretted his vote immensely. So today when he said go vote to ME? I took it as, “I got you this time, sis.” #whitedudes4kamala
Feel good stories #politics edition no. 1: my Republican husband walked into the house Wednesday morning, carrying groceries, with a fresh haircut and said, “Honey, I just voted for more blue than I ever have in my whole life.” Let it be known, he has never cast a vote for TFG, but down-ballot blue is new!
@QueenOfEverything @elbutterfield From your keyboard to God’s monitor, Queen 🤞🏻
@QueenOfEverything @elbutterfield Newsweek is reporting it was more than 75,000!
Poet/writer. Yeah, I have a law degree, no I don’t practice. Wait, were you asking about my banjo? Still no.
