This is exactly how typically red regions such as the South are an untapped potential and should not be written off.
It doesn't mean progressive candidates in blue strongholds watering down their message. But it does mean actually thinking strategically to bolster messaging and candidates in conservative (yes, even if we are "sure" that they'll lose the nearest election) areas to bolster defenses and ultimately go on an offense.
the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary
kinda sick of all those posts that are like "my ancestors were surviving starvation and the plague meanwhile i get nervous ordering food at restaurants". as if jauffrey the woodworker didn't fumble his conversation with the fine maiden running the fruit stand and then tripped on a pebble as he left in a hurry
the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.
FYI I just came across a thread on twitter which says that an author shared on google docs an explicit story with a friend for beta reading and google removed the file due to violation of TOS (apparently it has been updated where you are not allowed to share anything with sexual content). Not sure if it’s just this instance or if it’s going to become a widespread thing but if you guys write in google docs MAKE BACK UPS!!

Edit: also wanted to add that it seems that Microsoft word has the same language in their TOS so onedrive is not a safe alternative!
thinking about the raw fear Hyde experienced when Utterson saw him at the door and tried talking to him. Like, you can tell that man is internally panicking and trying to keep his cool. me too buddy
(Are they gods? Or unfortunate magical experimentations? When did the world blink, and they’ve grown— but not old, nor wise?
At least they’re sisters, and they have each other.
At least.
At least.)
Anyways here’s my doodles for a possible luna and celestia! They’re ancient alicorns, ascended during a great war that would later shape equestria as a primarily pony continent. (The modern alicorns are made with love. The ancient alicorns are made with desperation. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker are not accidents.)
i love the idea that using the elements changed her hair into something closer to an aurora. i know a lot of people like to make her more sun based but i think they’re forgetting that when luna was sent away she would’ve been responsible for EVERYTHING. she is literally light itself . so i love her hair as is :)
