Well, I just wrote every author's favorite two words. The. Fucking. End. It took nine months to birth this 111,130 word monster. There's still a LOT of work to do, but I have created something that didn't exist before. I can celebrate.
Today I am one year sober. A lifetime achievement and I never thought I'd make it. Greatest and most sincere thanks to everyone who's given me support, I quite possibly could not have done it without you.

One bill to make it easier to give the death penalty.

One bill to make sex crimes against children punishable by death.

Except Gore won. Pause just one moment and imagine a world where Democrats actually reacted to Bush v Gore instead of just saying "Oh well, the wrong guy is President, let's go to war".

When I was a senior in high school, there was a required class called "contemporary world living", that covered everything from balancing your checkbook to some basic sex education. It's amazing how much I learned from that one class, it should be 4 years and mandatory.
@RepPfluger
If the Department of Justice can do this to a former President based on solid evidence that he is a career criminal who stole national secrets and tried to overthrow the country, they can do it to you.
Fixed it for you.

My grandparents were Carter supporters. He's why I'm a Democrat. I asked them once what the difference was and they told me that Jimmy Carter cared about people like us. That has always stuck with me.

"This has destroyed our beautiful daughter's confidence, and she was inconsolably crying during this whole event and continued once it was over and we were leaving."
Cruelty is the point.
@Kissmyazz24
This is an all too common control tactic. It's about keeping your partner in fear that you're going to leave them, thereby putting them on their "best behavior". ๐ฉ๐คข
Okay folks, just because I'm getting some genuine vitriol, please know that this is a joke and the "Jesus" in the picture is actually Charles Manson. It's been circulated by right wingers because they haven't realized.
Okay? Joke!
I will now enjoy those taking me seriously.

Every anti-trans person has their own personal tale about how someone annoyed them about pronouns, but most trans people I've known put up with being misgendered all the time for safety's sake.
@Mollyploofkins
Truthfully, I think it's largely conditioning. MAGA especially has reached the point where one of the Leaders points at someone, declares them the enemy, and they instantly go rabid. They've been well trained.
@patriottakes
Does anybody else have an urge to go out and fuck with people?
"Braiins... braiins..."
(*Grabs a MAGA, tosses him aside.)
"Braaaaaiiins..."
@parlertakes
It's SO hard to tell when someone is being serious or not these days. My first instinct is to say, "Nah, this has to be satire." My second instinct is to say, "You've thought that before."

I'm all for Biden running for re-election. He's kicked ass his entire term, he's the most progressive President we've ever had, he's proven a winner in two SERIOUSLY uphill election fights, and he's a hell of a lot healthier than I am. Dude's earned my support.
@AndrewJTobias
I have a feeling this is going to be a real test of democracy. We've finally moved from "It was rigged" to "We don't care that we lost, we're in charge".
@ask_aubry
I've been a target of "I'm no good at this stuff, you have to do it". Sometimes, that's valid, but when it comes to things like doing the dishes and laundry, not so much.
So I've met my new friend, I get to bring him home today. He's a three month old black kitten who got saddled with the awful name of "Cheese". I'm debating names still, but I'm 85% settled on Gomez.
@ask_aubry
I can't hear his side of the conversation, but I don't need to. He "approached" her with a weird, creepy PUA routine that he calls "being nice", so she was supposed to "be nice" back, read: sleep with him. Or am I being too cynical?
@ask_aubry
I've been in polyamorous relationships most of my life, and I would still caution most people against them. I eel a lot of people think it sounds fun but are unprepared for the realities and responsibilities of it.
@RonFilipkowski
If I can't block, that might finally be the thing that drives me out of here. The only way I can maintain my sanity at all is a strict "Block all MAGAS on sight" policy.
@ask_aubry
Coming at this from the opposite angle, how exactly is it masculine to need a woman to take care of you? I take care of myself because I'm something called a "grown up". This guy can't even fix his own coffee.
@Esqueer_
Once they cut out the "TQ" out of LGB, I'm assuming the "B" will be next since so many people don't think that's valid either. Then it'll be down to the terf lesbians and terf gays to duke it out on who gets to stay.
@Acyn
I'm going to keep saying it. Nazis are no longer the fringe, they have been embraced and validated by the American right. They're very fine people and just another part of the Republican machine. A feature, not a bug.
@NoLieWithBTC
@MeidasTouch
I'm telling you, something has to be done about all these white, straight, cisgendered, Christian, Republican males. They're a menace.
I've noticed a pattern with the right wingers in my life. All the responsibility for avoiding talking politics falls on me. I've got to keep MY mouth shut to maintain the peace, but they're free to tell me all about their conspiracy theories.
