Nobody Listens to Stephen Evienne

Idealism proposes direction.
Logic evaluates feasibility and risk.
Together they shape a realistic path.

I know I said I wouldn't mention a particular issue for a while but it's kind of hitting me a bit hard that a particular dream of mine went from very, very, extremely unlikely a few days ago to literally impossible now.

Isn't it weird how local newscasts begin with these sequences showing folks having fun, bowling, roller skating, partying etc. but then launch into a litany of atrocities and absolutely horrific news?

I am kind of amazed that Doc Martens offers these in men's sizes. Kudos Doc Martens but I don't know if even I could pull these off on a regular day... www.drmartens.com/us/en/1b99-b...

It's getting ugly between 'breeders' and 'childless cat ladies' The share of Americans choosing not to have kids is growing. So are pressures to have children. Tempers flare online between parents and the child-free, and no one feels understood.

We "childless cat ladies" didn't start this fight. Society is ordering people who don't want kids to have them anyway so those of us who don't want them might be getting a bit irritable! www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/fa...

That isn't the flex you think it is if every single thing you do is evil, corrupt and damaging to the country.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Unless of course the risks involve things the fascists don't want women (or people in general) to do. The old "be yourself--no not like THAT!") trope.

Did I ever tell you that I virtually never remember a dream?

Well I actually remembered one... These 2 door to door scammers tried to convince me I owed creditors money, wanting to collect. I told them no, and the one gave me the flashlight she was carrying for some reason.

GOP lawmaker injures anti-war Marine during hearing scuffle: 'The senator broke his hand!' Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) was accused of breaking the hand of Marine veteran and anti-war activist Brian McGinnis.During a break in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday, McGinnis put hi...

Oh

That would be epic. They used to have a karaoke night at the Keystone Conference (a gender diversity convention in Harrisburg PA). They might still do it.

It's kind of weird and sad that I was on HRT long enough to start to get a semi-clear image of what I would have looked like if I had been able to complete the process--a sort of "apple shaped" girl with not much ass but fairly big tits, and a sort of nerdy "sexy librarian" vibe.

It was always an institution that was for the most part in the pocket of the GOP. The only Democrats in the military are POC and there just aren't enough of them.

If it were a right wing evangelical church the full might of the federal government would be on it.

This is how they will outlaw Pride festivals. Any mayor that allows one in their town will be removed from office for promoting Pride, and it WILL spread past Florida

If you order something online from an independent small to midsize company and your address is complex in any way--unit numbers, box numbers, etc., find out if they use GOFO as their shipper.

If they do, you likely will NOT get your package. GOFO is absolutely unable to figure out how to deliver it

Florida Passes Bill That Lets DeSantis Remove Local Elected Officials From Office For "Promoting" Pride The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

If you still haven’t stepped up in the fight against fascism

Now is the time

We are way past ‘that will never happen here’

Florida is one step closer to making being trans or gay illegal

Hitler did this with Jews and 6 million were killed

I 100% agree, but what caught my attention about this post was that ass. Are you genetically gifted or did you find a way to make it bigger? When I was still taking small steps towards transitioning--before it was effectively outlawed, I was always pondering how to make my tiny ass bigger.

Why are makers of prepackaged salads so hung up on cabbage? Some variety of lettuce or perhaps spinach should be the backbone of a good salad. Cabbage can be too bitter for the application.

On the news they're talking about McDonald's struggling to win back customers and trying new strategies and offerings. Maybe don't alienate half the country by cozying up to fascists?

If you're not wealthy, they don't believe you have a right to be the person you want to be. Look at how they suggest that the only legitimate purpose for folks of modest means, especially women, is to be parents.

I have mentioned before that I believe much of transphobia is misogyny in disguise--they view women who can't bear children as fundamentally useless, but another part is hate for any form of self-actualization that doesn't involve the accumulation of vast wealth... (Continued in comments)

A former friend is apparently attacking my current friend on hatebook for being trans and some mutuals are shocked. I'm not. That boy always flirted with fascism, sometimes half-jokingly extolling the virtues of Adolf Hitler. I knew he'd go bad.

True, but admittedly the cycle has now ended since no further fair elections will ever happen again...
