@sfleetucker a few weeks ago, for about three days, I tried to recreate my bird experience here. Then I thought to myself why the hell would I want to do that? This place needs to be as different from that as possible.
( hate posting political stuff, but, being forewarned is being forearmed. Shit is going to be bad.....)

It was my belief that Republicans would never actually overturn Roe v Wade. It was a perennial winner for them every election cycle with the fundamentalists. Of course, once Trump appointed three of those fundamentalists to the Supreme Court, they lost that issue as a point to run on. Turns out the issue couldn't continue to win elections for them seeing as how the majority support choice.
Damn skippy.
The downfall of the gop in 24’ will be underestimating the anger of their opponents. They think bodily autonomy is less important than a border wall. #politics
Hey #CoSo. I haven't done this in a few months, but I've noticed that the funding has been getting a little more challenging each month.

#CoSoPro will help everyone keep the lights on and keep this the place it is. You won't have an algorithm shoving content down your throat. It won't ever be a thing you have to pay for, but if you can, throw in a few bucks to keep the lights running and @th3j35t3r (somewhat) sane.
No guarantee on that last one.
You gotta love it when they eat their own. GOP women, you signed up for this misogynist BS. Read what Charlie Kirk says. 😱
