Today, someone I loved dearly died after 9 months of living with Stage IV lung cancer. It was horrible to watch her body be slowly ravaged by it, and while I know you can still get it even if you don't smoke - stop smoking.

This seems like a threat to someone from the parks department.
Trump using AI to write his posts now.
I spoke with my oldest friend yesterday. She works in DC and lives in Arlington. She sees the harassment of dark-skinned people every day now. She's done more than her share of protesting, but she's backing off, as it doesn't feel safe to her as a black woman. Time for the rest of us to step up.
It's disconcerting at best. Every side is perfectly willing to engage in our genocide rather than lose their precious patriarchy that is harming them all.
You are good people. If we had more like you, this world would be a much better place.
I didn't make it the whole weekend, but I am so glad you did. ❤️
It's in lieu of paying the money Trump owes him. Which is exactly how Trump does things. But this guy deserves every metal plated plastic trinket instead monetary gain he has earned.
I grew up in a white, small farm town. I, sadly, did not get through it without learning bigotry. I had to unlearn them. I was bigoted even against who I was as a trans, pansexual girl. I'm still dismantling these things instilled in me.
Drop an old person you're going to turn into.
He can't spell simple words, he doesn't even know words beyond the basic lexicon of a kindergartener. He did not write this, likely never even knew the post happened.
The issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous people, especially women, is one that continues to get less action than it demands. Both here, from Alaska to other states, and in Canada. And feckess Murkowski is again, feckless. If these were white women... www.propublica.org/article/alas...
Here we go. Dammit Gail, you know I love these. I have work to do, but now I'm going to be doing this instead.
He will use his crimes to claim his "oppression" from the (somehow) super powerful trans agenda.
white cis men will always view cis women and trans women as objects and they will always use sexual predation rather than admit their attraction.
Nonbinary, gender fluid and agender people are my siblings. They deserve respect, love and understanding. Please don't dismiss them in our community but hold them up as the human beings they are. They are the best versions of our humanity. Stand as a shield before them, not as a keeper of gates.
You are smart, beautiful, witty and endearing. I cannot understand why you would not have your own wedding. But I understand the emotions.
They ignored our offer and again wanted to know if we would promote their movie. We turned them down. We are not influencers, clearly. Funny thing is they could have promoted their own if they had taken the time to understand what we did and invested some emotional discourse on our show.
So, we were approached last month by a PR firm to promote a movie by interviewing their writer/producer. We told them that this isn't how OMWF works. We are a small podcast that we do out of love. We offered to bring the writer/producer on if they picked a movie (not their own) and we discussed it.
Cis supremacy and White supremacy are the same, exact supremacy.
Yes, sorry, it was directed at the douche canoe, Glinner, specifically.
He's so cute. The sock is better than the mouse, as far as stepping on them in the middle of the night is concerned.
"Trans women are women, trans men are men and nonbinary people are people." is how I try to relate it. If I am wrong in the nonbinary framing I am completely open to relating it correctly.
He will always turn his crimes into "oppression" for the white cis man.
I think it's going to be a very real acceleration of our banishment from society and then our detention.
Announcing the task force who will begin detaining all trans people, and putting us into "detention centers" for the 4th trans person in several decades involved in a mass shooting.
Highlight indigenous people who are lamenting the loss of their own. I will miss his talent and appreciate his representation of those who need more representation in all facets of society.
I don't usually talk about our episodes BEFORE they come out, but this weekend we had a really great guest and friend, Pat Green @genxwatch.bsky.social , Author of "Hearts of Glass: Living in the Real World". We talked about his movie pick, Benny & Joon! Coming out Sept 29th!
Let’s see, low follower/following counts, animal in the pfp, follows all the right liberals, dismisses legitimate concerns for marginalized people… classic white cis account. I can't wait until privileges mean nothing so you have to stand on actual ability rather than the props that hold you up.
So because it hasn't happened in a few months, it's ok. Wow, what lofty ideals you hold.
And it gets to perpetuate and profit from marginalizing whatever groups of people it decides, just like Newsom. That's how you continue white supremacy with more steps.
Same. But I think it’s more likely that they took the time to fashion a reasonable facsimile of a national security threat that all trans people be rounded up and put into camps for forced conversion torture. It’s just a guess.
Nice! It’s pretty great
🙄 ok grammy, no tomfoolery. Keep clinging to the patriarchy, cis woman. That’s gone really well for you so far.
Absolutely beautiful 💕
I want you to be aware, kid, that I have little interest in your unsolicited and non-contextual opinion.
Thank you 💕
Nice!
I think if women say “men are sexist” and you apply it to mean “all men”, then that is work for men to do rather than blame to place on women.
lol, old school
This was the breakfast club of a newer generation and I am here for it. This movie had a lot of nuance I missed the first time I watched it. I really enjoyed this movie more in my recent watch, it holds up to the nostalgia and more!
Totally
Ha, jokes on you I have extremely low self-esteem so that line would totally work on me.
Girl, you are trouble. Just plain trouble. Were I single and not madly in love with my wife, you would not be alone this night.
Share the last 4 games you played and expose your gaming habits
Hey, you are hot. I'm not going to apologize for that. This place doesn't have AC?
You are drunk, lol. If I were single you would be making the biggest mistake of your near future.
The beanies were the babies you made along the way. or something.
I love indie music but I am not a gin girl. I am definitely a sweet mixed drink girl. Or tequila, i like that.
I do too, but I didn't grow up in some old ladies vineyard. Been waiting to say that for a while now...
And they would train you up in turn, make you even better than you are now. Also, winged horse.
I like Vampire Weekend, their music style varies with every song.
I can imagine the honor you would bring to their ranks.
Oh, she's no hag. Next time you pass a mirror you can have words with her.
I'm still going to hope you get to be a Valkyrie though. Against all reason and logic. Because I also believe in magic and I'm ok with being wrong.
Sure, I already have a crush on a Ranger girl.
You can always tell the civilians who want to play soldier. They have their cosplay in what they think is the exact way an actual soldier would have their gear, except they don't have a lid.
Red Horses paved it. :P
Yes. It means exactly that. Atheists don't die in battle with the idea that something better is waiting. We go knowing that before that battle we wrung every moment of life we could because there is only the nothing waiting.
Damn straight.
I hope he fears death in the way that he fears those he makes suffer. I hope he feels every single pain and reaches empathy in the end. I hope he goes knowing with vivid clarity exactly what he is.
I'm an atheist. But that doesn't stop me from hope. That the world balances things. So I really hope it exists and you get to be one, you deserve the honor.
It's not corny, you have a creed that you live by. Nothing corny about that. It's a good creed. I live by my oaths and I keep my simple creed in mind: Can do. Will do. Have done.
I know. And I don't want to go out without a fight. I like to think of you, riding the winged horse over the battlefields, choosing those who died with their axes in hand. It's somewhat comforting.
I'm not sure. Maybe in a good way. Do good things, be good people. I don't even really know what that looks like. I keep acting like what they expect, not sure if it's good. Even the word loses meaning.
it's kind of why it's so fun, ngl. Sorry, breaking the tension. I can't be all slobbery crying or game face here, either way will freak my wife and kids out completely.
Mayhap. Who knows, perhaps that is your destiny. I just want the quiet, so I'll be looking forward to the silence of nothing.
Yes, big army. Little "a". The groups within get the capital letters lol.
I'm not a ranger, love. I don't say Hooah at all unless I'm elbowing the ribs of army :P
Nothing new there, we bear the weight we are given. We eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow, we die. Maybe we'll get to fight in Valhalla, think Valkyries will come down and choose us from the battlefield? I'm not religious at all but it's a nice thought.
Hooah
This red horse will be right there on your three.
We may have different definitions of self-care. Knowing how much it sucks to be in the position, that's self-care to me. Acknowledgment of the suck.
Yep.
It's ok, we died on the field a long time ago. We are the ferrymen, and we will guide many of them across the river upon our boats before we go.
Yep. I hold out hope that they will do the right thing and fall in.
there is a place for self-care. But it shouldn't be all there is. You make sure you have the ability to do the things that must be done. Then you do it.
Yep. I just wish people had been wiser, listened to logic and reason. But they only rushed to one rhetoric or another, looking for answers in the false promises of religions and leaders. Now, it's just us sitting here with the steel, waiting to cross the wire.
There are a few people across the country who have asked if they can get training but we are all limited by funding of course. I have given them locals who can teach them basics. It is what it is, we've done more with less.
He will get the best care our medical community can provide. They only want the worst for their citizens while they live in luxury and with all the care.
Same. I'm not looking forward to it but I am determined.
They don't understand because many of them haven't been broken down to the soul like and exposed nerve. "We would comfortably die" should scare the hell out of anyone wise enough to understand what it means.
Nothing to apologize for. It's ok to mourn the loss while hating the patriarchy that guided them. We have that right here in our country, it's been designed prettier, they have a different name for it. Corporate logos and all.
Yep. good friends, some real assholes, but I loved every one of them. I survived by luck and those who didn't leave. It's damn frustrating, no doubt there. I haven't gone to their graves since I attended their honors. Not sure I can do that.
True. Worst days are subjective. But our worst days, our savagery maybe helped them have a worst day that was only getting a wrong coffee order. I think we must have missed some worst days to be where we are now though. Think we would have caught the nazis climbing in the windows.
We couch our language in relatable phrases, we smile and we nod. We are animatronics for the public. But we are alive and so we can be hurt, we burn. We are alive so we know pain and we know joy. Doing pretty good is alive, that's ok.
if you can't walk, you crawl and if you can't do that, well...
I'm just unburdened by the lies NT people tell themselves. Many get to pave over their actions, I get to relive them in IMAX. I'm not amazing, I'm average and managing as best I can.
I understand what I am capable of. The rest will not be judged by my ignorance. You are my sister, you will always be loved.
My wife and children, I don't relate what happened to them. They would understand the monster I am and that is within us all and I think they need to find that out on their own and not from my own perspective and trauma. It's not great but hey it dies with me.
That's fair, because you make someone's entire day, every day by just being you. It's just karmic hugs.
I doubt you are cringe right now. Radical honesty is kind of my jam. You are pretty awesome, at least from my humble perspective. War stories are for the VFW and they won't let me pee there, so I just don't talk about them.
Good morning Misty, my sister from another mother! I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing day with your puppers and sock cat. Give my best to your family! You beautiful sunfish!
My wife: I feel bad because when we have plans to do things on the weekend you don't get a day off. Me: But I get to do things with you. That is my day off. My Wife: I know but you don't get to just chill. Me: But I get to do things with you, that is my chill. She'll get there.
He’s a coward, posturing behind the protection of our tax money and our military.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
Had me at just before stardew.
