The reason fascists are able to exploit your "ew thats icky!" Response is because your sense of morality is tied to your sense of disgust. Things you find "gross" will also seem morally wrong, even if the logic doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
But you *can* learn to recognize that response!

I am worried about getting this person's hopes up. Like "I wanted to set up this cool thing but whoops, I didn't get hired at this job so I can't. Sorry!"

Also starting to wonder how extra I should go. I'm including a draft of an idea I have for a program I want to run and I'm thinking of reaching out to a potential external org to sus out how willing she would be to do something like this. Would that show my dedication and initiative?

It's been so long since I've had to expand a presentation to fit the allotted time rather than cut out stuff. Needs to be 30 minutes and this is my time so far.

Hegseth reads from the Bible at his update today, reinforcing the impression that the illegal war is a Christian nationalist crusade.

I really hate text suggrstion features. Just recently disabled them in Word. Lemme type my thoughts! I don't need an invisible clippy giving me suggestions on what to write next. It's distracting!!!!

Extremely brave of her to put Oshawatt in S tier. That fucker knows what it did to me during my many B2/W2 Nuzlocke attempts.

She def did not deserve death threats, though, obviously :(

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the Kids Act, a mix of KOSA, Screen Act, and several other ID/facescan verification bills. There is still time before a final vote in the House, as well as a Senate version. Please use this link to call your Senators and Representatives to vote no.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

If one person does not have human rights, then none of us do. A right is something that we always have, no matter what, even the Worst Person You Know. The moment we are start picking and choosing who can have rights and who can't is the moment human rights become human priviledges.
