And in loving yourself you would never tolerate someone denying your identity, arrogantly assuming that their opinion trumps ypur experience, so you'd never do that to your neighb– oh

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The nazis believed in robust social systems, but only for cishet white people of the dominant class I wonder if there's a good term for dems who believe in "progress", but only for cishet white people of the dominant class

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

This always tears me up a bit as someone who has literal nightmares about remaining the piece of shit I was in my early twenties, while also knowing the harm that can be caused by treating fascist arguments as if they are made in good faith

In no way do I think this creates an obligation on anyone to do what my friends did for me, but if you're close with someone who holds fascist positions and yet has a shred of compassion or genuine (if misguided) antiauthoritarianism remaining in them, consider showing them the error of their ways

I became a fascist at 18 after 9/11 and remained one for 5 years or so (I never called myself one but I absolutely was one), and it was the patient picking apart of my position by online friends and making me face my own bad faith reasoning that ultimately convinced me

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

If I told my parents about this, we would hear a version of the narcissist's mantra about it "That didn't happen, and if it did it wasn't that bad, and if it was it's good actually"

Gabe Poirot says he spent 18 days in Heaven and met a Jesus who was six feet tall, made of fire, and overflowing with testosterone. Fox treated this as news. There's no evidence of this. Just a deeply manipulative story and a book to promote. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/a-christia...

PSA: The nutrition info published by Clean Eatz is not accurate Since my wife is disabled and I am recovering from a stroke we can't cook much, so we've been ordering from them and my sugar kept going high They're often off by as much as 100% on carbs and 50% on calories

CashApp routinely "warns" me that people asking for help are "scammers" I don't even blame the few actual scammers for ruining it for everyone else, those people are just pests It's always the evil fuckers who have power screwing over legitimate aid requests

People do understand that the 'positive masculinity' embodied in roles like protector and provider are just 'patriarch' under any other name, right? Men aren't offered these roles out of an appeal to benevolence. They get submission to their authority in exchange.

Macklemore's music is fine, it's fun and easy to listen to He's "bad" because he's "earnest" and that makes him "cringe" Legit one of the worst takes ever, it's just sociopathic misanthropy with a side order of smugness Disappointing to see so many people who like his politics join in

I'm sick of seeing people say they feel bad for Sheeran He has more money than most can spend in a lifetime, he could have joined Macklemore and won respect from good ppl instead of losing fans and earning only the respect of his worst ones But he's an "apolitical" shitstain with no principles, so

I've done a lot of thinking in stroke recovery and I've found that I don't really consider anyone who is kind to be unattractive, even if I don't particularly like their looks I'm still straight, so I'm not attracted to everyone, but that's different from recognizing that someone is attractive

Actually it occurs to me that only good people are their own worst critics Assholes are always above criticism

So I'm doing better, slowly regaining my ability to control my right side I thought my voice sounded really bad but my speech therapist played it back and it's actually not horrible We're always our own worst critics
