Capitalism kills.

Republicans deregulating kills.

Anti-prevention reactionary ignorance kills.

it’s sooooooo funny* how in tv a pregnancy plot will come up and everyone will be like it is totally your choice and i support you no matter what choice you make and if you need to “take care of it” or “schedule an appointment” because we don’t want to say the word abortion on tv we will be there for you. and every damn time the female character is like ITS MY CHOICE TO BRAVELY KEEP MY FETUS and the audience is like “see this is pro choice television because it was her choice” as if fictional characters are real human beings with the agency to choose this and not written by writers who are usually cis men

*stupid fucked up annoying and detrimental even

“You put porn in child safe spaces.” Then why do the “child safe spaces” have ratings and tags, Karen?

The fastest way to shut down my "freelance life means I have to constantly be working" thoughts is to remind myself that if I was a boss holding a worker to the standards I hold myself to, their union would hunt me for sport and nobody would blame them.

No this is still not WW3. Not every conflict is WW3. It could escalate to something bigger depends how Iran responds and America responds back. I’m guessing Iran will attack American bases in Iraq but the US seems aware that will happen based on the evacuation. At most a regional war though the idea of boots on the ground hasn’t been floated yet. But in the end Iran is not well liked and its biggest allies Russia is busy and China doesn’t get involved this way.

No you aren’t getting drafted, the draft is not needed US has big army already, the draft is super unpopular and it actually makes a worse army then volunteer. If the draft happens it’s because Trump thinks it’s cool despite all that and goes ahead, all the republicans would have to fall in line but they are stressing the whole time because they know it’s a bad idea and Republicans will lose for 20+ years., it would likely not help with any and make the situation worse. But no one got drafted Afghanistan or Iraq war so they wouldn’t now.

The biggest thing to expect is gas prices going up.

Anyway this was inspired by a relative complaining he’s going to get drafted and thinking we literally entered a nuclear war which we have not. I was feeling annoyed

Truly I hate to do this to you all but; you can watch all the videos and read all the blogs in the world but you cannot learn to sew without at some point picking up a piece of fabric and fucking it up. No tutorial exists that will stop you at some point ruining this poor piece of cloth. The visceral act of holding a project and wondering where you went wrong is the only way to learn sewing; you cannot escape it. I’m sorry

If y’all had paid attention in school instead of drawing an eye, you would’ve learned the term military-industrial complex originated in President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s farewell address in 1961, where he explicitly (and presciently) warned about it.

But I’m glad some of y’all are now figuring out it’s an issue!
