Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

We're not socially trained to talk about clothes. We are socially trained to objectify women. It's deeply ingrained.

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

You have to be *really* careful as a straight man to pull this off or it gets creepy. Personally, I'd only do it to someone I know well, and I would make sure to STRICTLY confine it to the clothes. Not even, "that looks great on you." Better safe than sexual harassment.

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

He's a neoliberal, so he'll do nice things for the perceived norm of the country, he'll act on behalf of capital, he'll keep colonizing as hard as he can (including hedging on Israel), and he'll do the bare minimum to appear as if he cares about environmental destruction.

Finishing and submitting a story = you're in the game = you rock. Rejections are a measure of that last. That means, getting a rejection = you rock. So when you're feeling down, remember YOU ROCK! and write another story. When you get a reject, remember YOU ROCK! and write another story. And so on.

No so much "western Canada" as "conservatives in the prairies and rural BC." Here in Vancouver, he's still pretty popular. Not defending him exactly. I just hate being generalized as "the west."

FWIW, I do believe every vile act that's exposed peels off a few more voters. Just bc his hard-core supporters don't care doesn't mean no one cares. Also, I really wish this headline framed it as sexual assault of children without the homophobia.

I do think he has specific qualities that suit him to fascism. He speaks fluent bigot. They'd have a harder time with a different figurehead. But that's why the USSC is making a grab for ultimate power: lifetime appointments rather than elections.
