Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • Yes.

    Which is odd because, since getting a keychain pedometer I actually don't keep it in my pocket or take it most places.

    TIL: Up to 85% of Americans Believe Abortion Should Be Legal in At Least Some Circumstances

    Jump

  • It's never going to be legalized because it makes both ruling parties so much money. Based off the Roe repeal leak alone the Democrats pulled in $80,000,000 in donations. (Donations that they can legally pocket by loaning their campaigns money at 20% interest.)

    And you can't expect capitalists to kill a golden goose.

  • In 2016 there were tens of million of Americans who couldn't absorb a sudden $400 expense without going further into debt.

    That number's probably grown significantly since.

    The vast majority of Americans, sadly, do not.

    Do we essentially know what every cryptid actually is irl or at least what they appear to be combined from, conceptually-speaking?

    Jump

  • Yes.

    Either they've been identified or it's an animal with mange. For fun, go compare drawings of the Dover Demon with featherless owls, for instance.

    Don't go searching for hairless bears, though. They're nightmare fuel.

  • The irony is that one of the few things the USA does better than other countries is disability accommodation. (At least for now.)

  • You're right.

    And the big social media platforms will censor any information about it. We already saw with January 6th that Americans are perfectly happy to just ignore what they can see with their own two eyes, so I suspect, it won't be too heavy a lift for them to step over dead bodies in the streets as long as the smell isn't too much.

  • You're not wrong.

    Having read a lot of history on the subject, the hope I do have is in the thousands who resisted the Nazis and Russians in small ways. Most of their names are forgotten (or fake, as is the way with resistance), but their stories survived because many of the people they helped told those stories after the war. Not everyone can be a Schindler or a Winton, but there are going to be more than a few who find a way to help people where needed as things get worse.

    I think here in the States we're a 9/11-style event away from happily embracing totalitarianism.

  • I'm currently reading Hitler's First Victims and while I knew Nazism was gaining power in the early 1930's, I didn't actually know that the systemic murder of Jews began this early, nor that anyone in the legal apparatus at the time tried to stop it, so this was heartening in a way even though they didn't ultimately succeed.

    There are a lot of parallels with what's happening now under Donald Trump, particularly the intentional destruction of the rule of law, which made the establishment of Dachau and the kidnapping indefinite imprisonment and murder of Jewish political prisoners possible.
