Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

Yesterday someone told me that socialism is good because it’s when the people make the rules, but communism is bad because it’s when the government makes the rules. I insulted them of course, and they said “fuck you commie” which I always enjoy, but it’s upsetting knowing people sincerely think that

Haha my ultra conservative father took me to see this when I was 12. I have no idea why, I think he thought it would end with him being straight and mostly make fun of the concept of being gay. He was shocked and upset when we left which ruled.

Today my daughter literally fell to her knees and wept because I said we couldn’t keep dancing. Am I the villain? It was past bedtime and she was definitely tired. Also 3 years old. But I’m still sort of worried that I’m the villain.

My partner just told me she met with a high school teacher in their office one on one. She reassured me that she wore her mask “until we got into his office”. We had a big argument. I haven’t even approached the bird flu one yet. I don’t know man. This is a pretty awful time.

Trying to imagine what mistakes a first time cigar smoker could make that would necessitate the involvement of the clergy. “When purchasing a cigar, it is tempting to speak a demon’s true name and give it permission to take possession of your body. Do not make this amateur mistake.”

A psychiatrist told me they thought I was "on the spectrum" five or six years ago. I didn't know anything about what that meant so I didn't pursue it. Wish I had while I had access to him, because ever since I started looking into it I've learned a lot about my own experiences.

She was pregnant when I adopted her, which is was a big surprise. This is her kid, Half Blaze, who is named that because the vet called him that and we weren’t planning to keep him. But I accidentally loved him too much. He’s also called “half blades” because my kids go back and forth.

The other day my daughter said “I can’t say…spa…tee” or something close. She sounded and looked pissed off in a way I find incredibly relatable. While looking pissed she said “spa…get..tee. Spaghetti!” Then she celebrated. I am sincerely very proud of her. I'm excited to see who she chooses to be.

We’re past that though. The choices are genocidal authoritarianism or genocidal authoritarianism. If you’re willing to use your name to legitimize the leadership of a man willing enabling a genocide and overseeing the violent suppression of peaceful American kids, what do you even believe in?

It’s a false choice. Everything you threaten will happen under Trump is happening under Biden. They were worse than Trump on Covid. We’re at “police state violence used to suppress the left in support of a genocide”, If you vote for him, you’re legitimizing his leadership and are complicit.
