@KarenFT Has he ever sat on a glass surface?
We need to confirm the butt pucker situation.
@The757Progressive Yup, and we also had cupcakes. π
And I even said, "There's one more cupcake you could undress tonight" and he literally thought I meant the last cupcake. π π
I went for dinner with someone I met and crushed on tonight.
It went well, but I don't how people do booty calls. I can't seem to give away my booty on a silver platter. π π
Guess I'm forever bad at flirting. π
@Kelly_and_puppers This looks soooo good!
@bluesbaby Don't get me wrong though.
I hate Trump.
I hate MAGA leaders.
I hate the GOP leadership.
I hate the Oath Keepers.
I hate the Proud Boys, especially.
Prison isn't good enough for any of them.
But I'm not gonna hate random MAGA Mom stuck in their info bubble trying to raise her kids.
I want MAGA Mom's kids to have a chance for a better life and perspective, even if she doesn't. π That's never gonna happen if the kid sees me hate on their family.
@bluesbaby I got out of one hate machine.
I will not step my feet into another.
Hate is infectious. It starts with hating one group and inevitably spreads to the next.
And people saying "my hating people I don't know is better than their hating people they don't know just because it's a different/lesser hate" is just a sad excuse. It's still hate.
@bluesbaby Yup.
That's what I keep trying to say.
Of course we have to fight the fascists themselves. The ones grabbing power for evil. Of course we have the grifters and trolls and abusers and racists who are taking advantage for their evil.
Fight the fascism and the ones directly responsible and I'm all in. I'm there with you now.
But if we are taking that hatred to families stuck in an information prison just trying to get by. I'm getting off at the next stop.
I have leave for the eve, CoSo, I didn't mean to get heavy and political before that. π
But wherever you are, enjoy your day or night!
And please keep in mind. You can still fight hate while spreading love. Even in the face of hate, spread love, not hate.
I walked down that path of hate, and once you embrace even just a little bit of it, it starts growing and festers and consumes you.
Hate once embraced, slowly spreads to others in your life.
Then what do you become?
Think about it.
@TubunMuzuru If people want to really save America.
We have to dismantle the propaganda machines. Dismantle the algorithms reinforcing content.
It's not going to be enough to just "get out and vote".
It's really not.
@TubunMuzuru Yup.
Republican messaging is getting stronger and stronger.
My family believes Democrats are aborting full grown babies.
They are going to put their support behind anyone who is gonna put a stop to that because they believe every word of it, and if that means violence, they'd be on board because to them it means saving lives.
But it's a slow boil in hate they don't understand.
They don't get any information telling them what they believe isn't true.
@TubunMuzuru People gonna someday learn it's a huge information war, and Republicans have been winning that war for generations.
And every time I try to explain that from an ex-MAGA ex-Republican perspective..... they just don't get how strong the Republican information machine is. The strongest Democrat message is barely a whisper in the middle of rural Republican land.
@TubunMuzuru It's way more than just Fox. Maybe Fox is the main thing for the suburbs.
But my family rarely ever watches TV, they don't have a lot of time for TV.
But they are drenched in Republican talk via radio, emails, mail, calls, and the hideous Facebook algorithm. Democrats have nowhere the same reach as Republicans when it comes to messaging.
@LlamaMountainStudioArts Yup! My home and heart is in America, but been in Germany for a few months doing work exchange. Been working on a garden farm for boarding. πΌ π
Good CoSo friends! π
Today so far has been little work, a guest cottage, a crackling fire, a few new friends, aπ¬π₯ man with a smooth voice and a soulful guitar, and a bottle of wine. π
As the sun goes down my heart be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbj26vHDMII
@TubunMuzuru There's no both sides for me either.
Anyone who thinks I'm both siding the whole thing isn't really listening to what I'm saying. When I talk about Republicans, I just like to give perspective how strong the propaganda bubble is.
Democrats think most Republicans have the same sources of info they do, but they don't. The algorithms make sure of that by reinforcing false belief with false belief a hundred fold.
Alright, CoSo.....
I'm off to meet the incoming work exchange peeps! Exciting!
I'm gonna be sharing some quarters with some new and maybe interesting strangers for a couple days. π
@BillMorrisLCARS24 π
@TiarePalau Awwwwwww β€οΈ π€
Thank you! So are you!
Do you know what the funny thing is? I'm working on a garden farm. So usually it's a waste. But today is more of a meet and greet to meet the people coming to replace me because I'm done in a few days.
And I'm hoping there's at least one reeeeeally cute guy who isn't attached. π I may have heard rumors........
