@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Also, you'd think we'd learn from abortion that "giving in, just a little" didn't even advance our goals, much less stopping any attacks or getting us recognition for being Adult enough to make concessions...they still talk about babies being killed @ birth and all kind of nonsense that never happened.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Ha, ha, if we loved dick as much as the owners do, Thanks. Piker is...kind of hot. I never noticed. a centrist might tell me the Antichrist assumes pleasing shapes, though.

@hollie@social.coop I could have used this this month--2 people I know shared that with me personally. In different ways, but still.

@MattBinder@mastodon.social If immigrants are doing that it's in a huge family where EVERYONE has a job. But they are not doing that, even here, probably.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social Sometimes it feels like it would be easier to write "Everything's wrong. Fix it." Also, that *I* should send them fundraising mail instead.

@inthehands fuck that guy.

@emmreef@mastodon.world Yep.

@dogzilla@masto.deluma.biz as a benefits recipient, even though most of that stuff has nothing to do with real life, I get caught*fudging*, I'm cut-off, in jail, or cut off AND in jail. Also, gotta go with Munch and ask the associate justice to "lie to us with respect"

@ericgallagher@zirk.us sometimes I call my wheelchair acoustic, too.

@charlesgaba@mastodon.social Thanks--it's a band-aid, but they're important when we're hurt.

@bakuninboys not so many...consolation prizes.(because I can't be the only one here who buys things because it's easier than having what I really want/need.) Assuming I even know what my real wants even are, sometimes.

@bakuninboys I bet more people might make *more* things, not fewer. I've had a bit more money since I paid our condo off, and I certainly have. Money stress, of whatever sort, is a TREMENDOUS drain. Also, most things that you do, cost. Maybe just a little bit, but when you're counting every cent, it adds up.

@gemelen Don't know you, Gem, but you just won the entire net today! Sad that we share this, but I'm glad you say it so effectively. I want UBI for other people so I can get off Scumbag Island. In addition to all the other benefits for everyone else. If it's so good that I survived, it made me brave and all that, why is it important that I live in shame?

@mattblaze@federate.social I used to think "too soon" had a point, but now it happens too damn often!

@LibertyForward1 @mutualaid I put a drop in your Paypal bucket.

@LibertyForward1 It's not a lot, I know, but if talking about it primes the pump, that'd be good, right? Good luck.

@nat I'm honored to have a small part here, while also annoyed that it was necessary.

@MercG I always heard it would assume a pleasing shape, though. :)

@ashleyyrain@mastodon.social Yeah, been there. The interesting thing about that research is the happiness doesn't climb when the amounts do, but it's still true on the lower rungs.

@ashleyyrain@mastodon.social Until you meet your nut +3 to five thousand, money does, in fact, buy happiness.

@vollink good luck. I'm the SW so prob no help, but my job vibes do work 4 everyone but me.

@nat Oh, you're welcome. I'm disabled, too, and people have helped me(and still do) I always said if things got better, I'd help.

@nat yay...good for us!

@nat I'm not suggesting anyone should do something I didn't.

@nat It's not a ton of money if we could pull together as a community.(insurance should not have this power either, but rant for another day, right)

@FranceskaMann@freeradical.zone Overall, yes, I agree.

@dubious_dragon Sounds good to me, too.

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social pretty sure I'm not. I mean, this week's been all right, but...

@dubious_dragon my fingers can't make that gesture...they have a synergy, so if I try to single any one out, the others want to rush over and fill the gap. so it's also hard to get fingerprinted and flip people off.

@dubious_dragon Maybe I really do have leadership qualities--if not those weird comic-panel pauses.

@FranceskaMann@freeradical.zone sad to say, every movement has people that I wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator with.

@dubious_dragon I thought they just said it back...interplanetary gaffe with the Vulcans!(although maybe that would be forgivably ignorant, not like asking if they pierce their pointy ears or anything.)

@RnDanger True. Putting that cover-up to the test, lately.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com "Did I stutter?"

@FeloniousPunk Reality shows, or actually, shows, period, as well.

@newrepublic Feels like I've been hearing about this forever--good for them.

@dubious_dragon bet he could flip people off, though.

@dubious_dragon Good to know. Don't know how I missed that, in fandom so long.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social And testosterone(Which they get wrong--it's naturally occurring in both established genders, just in different balance and stuff--I'm not actually a scientist, just have spent more time boning *up* than actually boning. It's kind of sad, especially given that one can't spend imaginary Jeopardy millions.

@dubious_dragon I suppose there could be Jews in space--wandering looms large in the legend. Not that I'm suggesting you write that. (I generally find it nice to know that people think that hard about the stuff they make/ put their faces on.) Because, when that came out, maybe LN didn't have to, right? He wanted a connection to the material so that it wouldn't suck to make for a season or two. Like most Jews, not expecting much from the afterlife.(rimshot)

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Wow, I'm kind of impressed. Reading him being called "left-wing Charlie Kirk" kind of leaves the wrong impression. Not that I've done a lot of...comparisons.

@faraiwe@mstdn.social sometimes the con artists are really good at what they do(Not having normal feelings for the most part makes it easier for them, ftr) Sometimes, though, it's more that a piece of bullshit hits at a moment when it is what we are longing to hear most.

Until then, I wish people would stop sending around blatantly...under-informed little object lessons that get a lot of likes and convince other ignorant people that they Get It, hardcore. Also hate this because, yet again, I get to be the bitch and tell a stranger Santa isn't real again. I really do hate that.

@MercG Mostly from him.

@rbreich@masto.ai there is nothing in his head but a voice saying his own name.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Well, there is that. Maybe the only movement since the actual Know- Nothings with de-requisites. And IQ...kind of doesn't mean that much. Which my younger self would be sad to learn--she didn't get enough chances to strut and...kind of a good number. But I gave up talking about it to avoid being ableist, racist tool.
