"In this office, we're family!" If you mean family in the sense that some of you could, at any time, make decisions that would fuck my life up in a meaningful and lasting way, then, yes, I suppose we are.

Let's check back in a year on this. Extremely plausible st this point.

Getting people to fear an imaginary hell is the best marketing scheme ever. Nothing else has generated more revenue in all of human history.

This + $80M Space X contract yesterday + $400M Tesla contract yesterday They are not gutting the gov for efficiency. They are rerouting funds to themselves.

"Law and order," until laws get in their way "Founding fathers," until the constitution gets in their way "Christian faith" until the teachings of Jesus gets in their way "We the people" until...

What would it be like to see your experience through the lens of love and compassion?

The founding fathers would hate Trump

It comes down to caring. We're worried because we care. We're mad because we care. We want to fight because we care. Justice is about love. A sane society is one that's rooted in compassion. Let's not forget that. Come from the heart in your efforts. Don't cave in to bitterness. Love harder.

Fundamentalist Christianity is the psychology of an abused toddler, fearing the unpredictable and omnipresent dad towering above. Sometimes he's loving, sometimes he's jealous and mean, sometimes he kills your siblings. To love him is to fear him, for he can cast you into eternal punishment. 1/2

This is where they are

America: they're gonna do Project 2025 Trump: no we're not 😉 America: seems legit! Trump: *starts Project 2025* America: don't overreact, we can't be sure what they'll do next

Funny how this is going just like it's written in Project 25. Ha ha Ha

Grieving how many friends I've lost because of neurodivergence. This includes the ADHD friend who cut me off for having a meltdown... when she too has meltdowns. I long for friendships where we give each other the benefit of the doubt. Where mistrust doesn't lead.
