The only thing I'd say is it better have a good amount of celery for the crunch or else the textures will just be soft on soft

"I can't bring myself to vote for Biden", sure, but can you bring yourself to vote *against* Trump? Cause I truly cannot think of a single thing that won't become actively worse if that dipshit wins. It sucks. We deserve better. We don't have better. We gotta work with the reality we have right now

This, exactly. I hate Biden. I don't want him. I think he's been monstrous to Palestine, awful in his defense of trans lives, and utterly incompetent in his response to the rising fascist tide. But when it comes to the presidential election, it's him or a fascist hell regime. Only options.

Honestly no matter what, the through line of the election message from now til November needs to be "We will NOT have a king."

For all that I've been frustrated with Biden on immigration, Gaza, COVID, etc, he's actually been surprisingly progressive on a lot of policy fronts. He's been doing a lot of good government work that most Americans don't really know about, and he's highly effective when he wants to be.

I cannot believe Ally nearly got to say "you gotta respect the cock" at a table where only Brennan would know the context because Junior Year hadn't released yet.

Ppl are retweeting this and I just want to add that faxing is THE most annoying thing to do to your representatives. There are websites where you can fax for a small fee and those machines are LOUD and then at the very least they have to deal with all the print outs.

Not to rip off @quinnae.com's book, but: Change is made by movements of people fighting for or against something. It will probably not be accomplished by posting. It is in the interest of social media sites -- even this one! -- to make you think nothing can be changed, so you keep on posting.

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.

Another thing you can do is call Dick Durbin's office and demand he stand up for democracy and haul Alito and Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee. And publicly demand their resignations. If you can't literally impeach them, AT LEAST use the bully pulpit. 202-224-2152.

One last thing: It's not just about Trump/Biden. It's even more about who they put in positions of power and to oversee departments. Biden has good, decent people running various government agencies & departments. Trump will install a new Third Reich. He's planning it now. It. will get. worse.

This means romance authors. This means poets. This means screenwriters and playwrights and actors of anything remotely risqué. And eventually, anything secular. They have no point of satisfaction until they’ve erased all of non-Christian expression.

PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)

I know it's a long way to the election and this won't matter in the long run but just reading the social media takes on the debate is making my anxiety go up to 11 and making it so hard to focus on the writing I've been trying to do tonight. Just... Not a good headspace evening right now.
