I wish I only talked about tabletop games, writing, and comic books (and tea), but politics keep happening. I like He/Him, and I like She/Her, and I don't like Twitter anymore.

Partner is watching a docuseries on escaping abusive cults, and *every single one* is predicated on RETVRN shit. Every one! The trads are killing us, and they've *been* killing us.

A lot of infighting makes more sense when you realize a lot of activists believe they are a guerilla army fighting a hot war. They're exhausted, feeling like the entire country is on their shoulders and that politicians have abdicated responsibility. This isn't true, and it's just wearing us down.

I would put money down that some of these people think all they're doing the equivalent of "OK" hand sign trolling from the first term. Their friends might even tell them that's all it is. But at the end of the day, this is Nazi shit, and serious people around the world see that.

Seriously, can we stop saying we live in Idiocracy? In that movie, they didn't *want* to be as far behind as they were. They wanted to fix things. That is why real life is currently worse.

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

Remember when Sesame Street established that gender norms can be flipped without incident, and nobody tried to cancel them back then because people didn't have Brain Worm Propaganda foie gras'd down their gullet 24/7 youtu.be/kXluTl1K8x4?...
