A new law in Tennessee bans drag performances in public spaces and anywhere where someone under 18 is present. A Trump-appointed federal judge in Memphis last week declared the law unconstitutional, prompting a letter-writer to The New York Times to note that the Supreme Court considers corporations people and corporate money the equivalence of speech, “then certainly a giant audacious wig and lots of makeup on a performer should also qualify as speech, even before they sing or joke or read from a book.”

Oklahoma state senator Tom Woods, "We don't want that filth in our state."

Nex Benedict was killed by classmates and none of the people in charge of "protecting the children" cares. I guess only certain children count. Not ALL children.

Nex Benedict doesn't get to grow up because of people like Tom Woods.

Senator Tom Woods

2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Rm. 529.2

Oklahoma City, OK 73105

(405) 521-5576

Senator Tom Woods grew up in Westville, Oklahoma, and was elected to the Oklahoma Senate in 2022. He proudly represents the citizens of Senate District 4, which includes Adair County and parts of Delaware, Sequoyah and Cherokee Counties.

Woods was raised on a dairy farm and graduated from Westville Public Schools. His grandparents are both retired educators, and his father worked in a factory while his mother stayed at home to work on the farm and raise his six brothers and sisters.

Tom’s family taught him the value of hard work from a very young age as he was given his first dairy cow at the age of 12, in exchange for milking cows on his parent’s dairy. He remained dedicated to his business and had 30 dairy cows by the time he was 18.

He now operates a feed store, trucking company, and a commercial cow/calf operation with 200 cows.  Through hard work and commitment, Woods believes we must build up future generations to be active contributors and producers in society, not just consumers.

Trump is a fraud. A con. He is not a smart business man. He is just a rich dude that bankrupts everything he touches, even a fucking CASINO.

watched Wonka yesterday with the expectation that i would have the worst experience of my life and then come on here and leave a massive rant review but that movie was just so. inoffensively bland. for the most part. about 5 min in i forgot that this was about Willy Wonka and i started having an okay time. idk how you make a movie about that guy and have him be the least interesting part of it. by pulling all of his teeth apparently. the evil chocolatier polycule were better characterizations of Willy Wonka than the actual Willy Wonka of this movie. that man isn't just a funny quirky silly little dude he is also a ruthless capitalist and an actual inhuman monster (same thing tbh). why are we so in denial about it? that's the entire point and appeal of his character! the contrast! i get the allure of the wholesome escapist fantasy but if that's what you want he's just not the character for it i'm sorry.

“Ultimately, parents and kids will decide if they want to work or not,” Reynolds has said favorably about the bill. “It teaches the kids a lot. And if they have the time to do it and they want to earn some additional money, I don’t think we should discourage that.”

You heard it here first, folks, child labor "teaches the kids a lot." She's got three kids and eleven grandkids and I doubt any of them have or ever will go near a factory. Probably won't have to go into the service industry or an unpaid internship, either.

At this point I almost wish these people would just say "I hate poor and/or BIPOC kids and I sold my morals to child abusers to buy a reelection." It might be less nauseating.

I'm afraid at how fast America's capitalist democracy is turning into totalitarian fascism.

The midterms turned out to be a repudiation of Trumpism, and the absence of a red wave was a breaking point for many Republicans. That’s right: Countless Republicans who were willing to stand by Trump through Charlottesville, two impeachments, a big lie, and an attempted coup, suddenly discovered that losing elections was a bridge too far.

Why Trump’s Reign of Republican Terror Is Really Ending

Never forget that the thing that finally made Republicans break with Trump was losing an election. That’s it. None of the crimes, none of the appalling behavior, not his coup attempt. It was Dr. Oz and the football guy.

Tile

Content: angst, self-worth issues, mentions of abusive relationships & domestic violence, mental illness probably.

The air was stuffy when they walked in. With no one home to open the windows, the air in the empty rooms had long since staled days ago.

They left their bags at the door and walked through, opening the windows in every room.

They knew they’d eventually have to come back here.

That didn’t make it hurt any less.

They tried hard not to think as they slid each window open, but the memories were knocking and prying at the threshold of their subconscious—lapping and licking behind their eyes like floodwater.

The bedroom hurt the most.

Everything smelled like them.

Unhealthy, their friends had called it. Abusive. Toxic. But to them, it hardly ever felt that way.

No, if they were honest, they missed the way things were back then. When there was always someone to call out to, someone to vent about their day, the feeling of whumper’s arms wrapped around them when they held them tight.

And the way they’d laugh.

God, no one else could make them laugh like that.

And sure, the hours whumpee had spent on the bathroom floor, trying to cry silently enough that they wouldn’t be heard, biting down into their hand hard enough to draw blood—

Sure, those memories were probably real too.

But they didn’t feel all that real, not anymore.

All they could think of as they passed through the rooms were the times they’d laughed so hard their stomach hurt, the time they’d covered the entire floor in wrapping paper and bows and presents last Christmas.

How whumper taught them to wrap things nicely.

How to crease the corners.

How kind, and how patient they’d been.

But Whumper—they were human too, weren’t they? Weren’t they allowed to make mistakes?

Whumpee knew that they themselves had made so many—they’d stayed up at night listing them all. Surely then, whumper should be allowed a few too, right?

It was too late, though, wasn’t it. They were gone now, and whumpee should be happy.

“Keep the place to yourself”, their friends had said, “that’ll show them.”

But was it worth it? Was it worth it if everything still hurt? If every room still smelled like them and every object was a memory that wrapped itself around Whumpee’s heart and squeezed like a boa constrictor, until they felt they couldn’t breathe, couldn’t speak, until they felt their heart might stop altogether.

And now they were in the bathroom again, curled up in their familiar spot on the floor. No need to cry silently anymore, for there was no one around to hear them.

Was this really any better? They’d done it, done what their friends wanted, what their family wanted, what they even thought they’d wanted and, what was it all for?

They’re still here. Still crying. But now, there was no one. No one to scoop them up off the bathroom floor, no one to go to for a hug, no one to hold them until they fell asleep, no one to see in the morning.

And really, they hadn’t minded the bruises so much, they really hadn’t. It felt like the least they deserved, right then.

Whatever thread Whumpee had been hanging by had snapped, and regret flooded their body like a tidal wave. God, they wished they hadn’t done it. They’d take it all back, they’d take comfort, they’d take pain, they’d take anything at all just to hear them laugh again, to feel the warmth of those arms around them again.

They stayed curled up there, on the cold tile, for god knew how long, until the tears wouldn’t fall anymore and they just felt numb. Eyes open, staring at nothing.

And there was nothing, no one, to bring them out of it this time.

This was all there was now. To exist. To live as a husk, floating through the hollowed out shell of their former life.

Whumpee woke up hours later, still curled up and shaking on the bathroom tile.

To quote the second amendment:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

A WELL REGULATED MILITIA. Not some random inbred redneck that can't tell the difference between fiction and reality.
