Tim Walz is effectively communicating something that most dem politicians have previously failed at which is “its normal to want government to help people and it’s weird for it to make laws about your sex life”
@MichaelTalon Eric posted a rant about that tonight. Have you seen it? That family whines incessantly.
@Jezibaba Yup, wonder how he posted it through the tears. 😆
@MichaelTalon with his other hand while drinking straight from the bottle.
@Jezibaba
I want Walz too.
He is a great communicator, same joy vibe as Harris.
@Anouk he's a great choice. I hope Shapiro stays in PA.
@InvaderGzim @Jezibaba
Agreed! I’m in Pittsburgh. I’ve never liked the idea of Shapiro leaving us.
@InvaderGzim @Anouk Exactly!! Isn't it fabulous to have so many sparkly options?
@Jezibaba omg. you'd think this was a given. what has happened!??!?!
@singlemaltgirl Weird happened. MAGA has to die.
@Jezibaba in a lake of fire.
@singlemaltgirl I'm taking some comfort in their discomfort today
@Jezibaba they're such whiny titty babies. the shit they've hurled at kamala has been 10x worse. but they're crying over being called 'weird'? rapist, felon, criminal, sociopath, narcissist doesn't bother them. but weird does.
whiny. titty. babies.
@singlemaltgirl because there might be an element of fear with those other names. Fear they want, being laughed at is verboten.
@Jezibaba let's all laugh. every time they talk shit about us, let's laugh.
as atwood so famously said:
men are afraid women will laugh at them.
women are afraid men will kill them.
@singlemaltgirl @Jezibaba Laugh! Then call them weirdos. 😀👍
@singlemaltgirl @Jezibaba I do a quote of the day warmup with hs students. I use this quote and its ILLUMINATING. All the girls get it, the boys dont. Leads to great discussions.
@LaurelGreen ask the boys qbout bears 🤔😜 @Jezibaba
1 of my fave things from uni was a prof asking (in a sociology class so fairly mixed)
'men, what safety measures do you take when leaving the uni grounds?'
'women, what safety measures do you take when leaving the uni grounds?'
the discussion that ensued! i've heard that other profs have done variations on this on how diff genders see & experience the world.
i actually did a related blog: https://singlemaltgirl.blogspot.com/2024/06/safety-advice-to-avoid-rape.html
@singlemaltgirl I heart u! The link didnt work out for me. But same, brilliant discussions about safety @Jezibaba
@LaurelGreen oh damn. i'm sorry. it is sensitive so might be blocked by your search engine. it's for 18+
gist of it is: i was talking to a bunch of rape counsellors & the #1 question they get from male relatives of women/girls is: what safety advice would they give for their female relatives to avoid rape?
the answer: “if we are talking evidence, and statistics, the answer is: never go anywhere where there are men.”

@Jezibaba I've always seen the function of government to serve the needs of the people. Any greatness we ever have known came from government enabling the best in its people. The GOP agenda is to chain everyone in servitude to the 1% and corporate masters.
@Lucky188 while they get richer and more powerful off it. Yeah, no.
@Jezibaba You working something on Donnie Numbnuts family? His nephew Fred endorsed VP Harris.🤔
