So just say Trump wasn't bad enough for you. Admit that you wanted him in power. I mean, I've held my nose a few times and voted for someone who I might not like, but who wasn't likely to burn it all down. Because that, petal, was the choice. You chose this.

I think there's a difference between shame and pain avoidance.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I wish they were ashamed. They just don't want to be identified and outed to the public.

Further, we are paid a salary for a fixed number of days, usually around 180 days. Summers, holidays, etc, are not paid. The salary is amortized over a 12 month period.

An awful lot of people commenting weren't much better. A lot of "put up or shut up." I haven't read him in years, but the entitlement . . .

My daughter's first grown-up violin. 25 years ago, that sucker was $7k for a middle of the road concert instrument.

Interesting, this. Martin owes you nothing. You paid for past entertainment. That's it. You got what you paid for. Write your own damn book.

Then she'll be prosecuted. See how that works?
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
So brave. Blocking and commenting.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm an atheist, petal. Blue, no matter who. The fact you are so defensive about your parenting methods is also telling. You're so busy trying to be the "cool" mom that you're abdicating your responsibilities. It's really that simple.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. Veteran literacy teacher. Never raised helped raise anyone's kids. Certainly none of my opinions about literacy, social media and print, have any bearing, despite my PhD ABT in literacy acquisition in boys in young men. I hope your kid turns out okay, for his sake, not yours.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Young white male, fascinated by violence, access to RW materials and porn. What could go wrong?
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Social media isn't a book, petal.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
And, as a parent and grandparent: fuck you. You're a lazy parent.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
That you don't understand the difference between static and active media is worrisome.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
And I'm sure you'll call me a MAGAt too.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Read my second comment. I'm now retired, but I was a literacy teacher in HS. She doesn’t have to reply to engage with the material. You're showing your ignorance. Sending her alone to "look at" social media is akin to throwing her into the pool and walking away.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Do you allow your kid to watch horror movies unsupervised? Are you good with her accessing NSFW and soft porn sites? After all, she's not interacting. Social media isolates kids and has been shown to be a recruiting tool for RW ideology. You're playing with your kid's mental health.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
*media
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Put the computer/laptop in the kitchen where everyone can use it and everyone can be monitored. At her age, give her a flip phone. Don’t send her alone into social mefia dreck. That's parental neglect.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, yeah. I got all those, too. Alas, I'm law-abiding, so no larceny for me.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Mine wore off because of age and handling paper. My experience is that they will attempt to take your prints a couple of times and then revert to the prints in your file. This was in NV.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I retired a coupke of years ago, but in NV, it is/was part of the grade 8 English curriculum.

Myy 35 yo just reminded me today of when she got her first library card. She had just turned four and could print her name. We practiced writing until she was confident and legible.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Not mine. I have a couple of people whose opinion I trust. If I don't see those names on a big account, I don't bother.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
You don’t seem to understand how much farther left the country is than it was in the 60s, thanks to Ds. Until recently, gay marriage, civil rights, and abortion were all givens. These things took time to craft and implement. You want presto-changeo. That's not how it works.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t usually say much, but this one does have a bit of a defense. If I have up an actual photo of myself, I'll get a lot of abuse because I'm an old woman. I know I'm old and would prefer not to constantly have to wade through comments about my appearance. It's a preference. 🤷🏼♀️

My husband's family lost their three independent dairies the first Trump debacle. Those had been in his family since the early 1800s. So, no. No empathy. Farmers a) aren't uneducated if they're successful and b) didn't learn the first time.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I didn’t say you were a bully. I said being disabled doesn't exclude being a bully. 🤷🏼♀️
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah. No flak for the pedos. Just the cult. The pedo right is just fine. Gotcha. Maybe next time vote.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
So fascism it is. As long as it's your fascists.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
And you can’t tell me why you're frying Dems and facilitating fascism from the pedo right. So here we are.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
So no answer. No surprise. Feckless child.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Could be. My experience is that mean girls are bullies and that I have been variations on bitch and dyke, but never mean.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
But then you identified with mean girls. I'm also disabled. I've never been a people pleaser, even when I thought I wanted to be. Disability doesn't mean you can’t be a bully.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Biden. Israel is a US ally. Although Trump pretends otherwise, a president can't cut aid off for an ally nation. You folks want the Ds to be as fascist as the Rs. Netanyahu is a war criminal. Hamas instigated this war. Where's your heat for the Rs and Trump? Or do you prefer licking orange boots?
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
PS: I have not once in 60 years been labeled a mean girl. Occasionally a force of nature, but I have never been called mean. It's not a badge of honor.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Mean girls pick on other girls because those girls don't fit a particular expectation. Strong girls defend boundaries without bullying other girls. But yeah, I guess whatever lets you feel good about how you treat other girls/women.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Good.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
Mean girls are bullies. I have a spine of steel. Always have. And mean girls tried to take it away from me because I didn't fit. I didn't have money. I wasn't particularly pretty. But I am so fucking smart that it couldn't stand. Twelve years of school and off and on through my life. I've prevailed.

Petal's last stand. You're a liar. You're doing everything you can to undermine the Dems. So you get the fuck out of here, Bernie bro.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
But I'm not going to shut the fuck up, petal. Every single thing you do undercuts any possible progress. You and your ilk caused the second coming of Trump cuz you just cannot stand Democrats. Currently the Democratic Party gets me within walking distance of where I need to be. You want perfection.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
And I already said I was wrong. I had no problems saying it. But you really don't like being called a leech, do you? Partyless, homeless, feckless. Sad little petal.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
You win, petal. Your white leftist dogma has shown me the light. I shall now prostrate myself on the altar of Bernie.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
And what conservative victories did I espouse?
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm sure that was 50 years ago and I was a teenager.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm part of the Democratic base. White working class, bootstraps and shit, pro union, absolute belief in human rights for all. You're just sad because you don't have your own party, petal. Mama did you a disservice when she told you were special.
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
You are not addressing anything else I said. You are right about her politics. On that I misspoke. As I said, off the top of my head. So now that I've said I was wrong, are you going to keep harping on that?
Geste (@geste.bsky.social) reply parent
I've seen how far left the Ds have actually swung. What you see as conservative was unthinkable even in the early 2000s. You have a hard on about Ds. If any of your demands were feasible, you would already have your own party, not existing parasitically off the Democratic Party. Ta, petal.

Getting my ducks in a row, petal. PS: O'Connor, 1981. First female Supreme Court Justice. You're an idiot.

Same sex marriage, American Disabilities Act, women on the Supreme Court, extending voters's rights. Off the top of my head. What universe do you inhabit?

And yet you did choose small, homogenous states as exemplars. Small governing bodies also have rampant corruption, but they don’t get past local because it is small $$. Until Citizens United is repealed, everywhere is suspect. Sorry about calling you "he."
