It’s a whole song, one of my favorites. Go listen!

I guess the Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) was just in my imagination then. What a dingus.

I remember Vancouver area, all of it, spiking very fast and very hard a decade before the pandemic. I haven’t kept up with the market in a couple years though, maybe it’s gotten better?

The affordable housing is the more pressing problem.

He literally said in his plan with Bibi that he wanted to send Palestinians to something like 20 different countries. Ie, he’s not planning to take any here in the US. He’s going to force displace people, spread out the diaspora, and try to take all the profits and suffer no poor consequences.

I probably could, I was just feeling a bit ornery. Hope you’re having a good one out there!

Q-tips.

In case anyone wants to see the post. It’s not an organization that only liberal Lutherans supported either. LCMS (the larger conservative branch) supported this organization for years, too.

that don’t believe in sky daddy the right way?

I went to HS early/mid 00s, and for my school district of 5 highschools, there was one career center. That’s where they put shop and cosmetology and graphic design (and ASL for some reason?) I dropped band in my senior year. I wasn’t that great, hated the marching part especially. I wanted to do graphic design (not that great at it either, come to find out!). A band director literally pulled me aside one day, urging me to rethink my choice. That career center was ‘for kids who weren’t college bound.’ I guess it couldn’t help me as much as he thought band could have? 🤦‍♀️

Not a gambler, I don’t think that money would feel right anyhow. There’s nothing about a trump presidency that should feel like a win.

And yeah, I grew up hearing sermons about how women should never be in positions of power over men. And then there’s also the deep and abiding racism that’s been with us longer than the idea of democracy. I hoped enough people would see the bigger picture. But no, missed out on my chance to be rich I guess.

In the States, I was getting ads during election season letting me know that I could bet on the outcome of the election. It’s madness.

I have an older family member who is severely mentally disabled and always has been. His medical records diagnosed him as r*tarded. The adults diagnosing him at the time didn’t understand enough about mental conditions and their differences when he was a child. So kids like him were diagnosed with that. It did have more ‘legitimate’ uses than it does in our current context. Doesn’t make it good or right, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have tried to be more specific either. That legacy leads to now where we have the nuance and resources to do better. I am glad it’s more and more relagated to the past as it’s consistently been used to dehumanize people.

KillKeo means plan

While their goonies work to outlaw abortion and birth control and divorce. What a neat combo pack.

That’s so retro tho

I wish one of those steps ahead had been a successful prosecution.

Or his cadre of evil clowns.

women can’t marry older than 25? What kind of bass ackwards handmaid’s tale bullshit is that?

Japanese instructors in college would tell us how older unmarried women would be referred to as ‘Christmas Cakes’–no one wanted one after the 25th. Although they were happy that had been a changing attitude.
