🧵 1. Ok I promised to post about what we can do to counter this terrible moment in US History and how to set about getting through the next 4+ years. So permit me an extended turtle metaphor. One day, near my house in Rock Hill, a “protected” forested green space was about to be razed to make…

I can't get enough of this kind of thing. I live in the south and am so damn tired of right wing martyrs trying to tell me about what Chicago is like. I grew up in the greater Chicago area, lived in the city for a few years. Unless you're in the poorest areas, it aint bad at all.

“You mean that garish gold bauble that used to belong to that horrible little man? Now, darling, don’t be angry with me but I went ahead and just took it straight to Mount Doom. It was telepathically hissing at me in the most IRRITATING way and I didn’t want that kind of energy in the house.”
