If there's something you want to know, just ask.

Your pronouns are valid. Your emotions are valid. You. Are. Enough.

I am refusing to participate in gender expectations tomfoolery.

Believe people when they tell you who they are.

Trump has idolized Hitler for ages. If you think he wouldn't do the same things, look at his first term and look at what he has said and continues to say. 30% of this country thinks that's just great and agrees with him. Go ask your neighbors with Trump signs if they're okay with the things he's saying and when they intend to start following those orders.

To all politicians: I will happily pay higher taxes if you give me better/more trains and buses.

You know, not paying one's taxes is a crime (under the current regime). You'd think civil asset forfeiture would apply to those assholes more than someone who keeps their grocery money in cash.

It was always a money grab and a way to make the poor pay for the privilege of being abused and they knew when they wrote that piece of shit legislation that most people wouldn't be able to get their property back. Bastards opening up everyone else's pockets to bastards.

Stop buying as much plastic packaging as you can. I know how hard it is.

Why do we never get tired of kicking the responsibility for our actions to later generations? Mining pollutes. Uranium mining REALLY pollutes. We honestly did not give two shits beyond getting what we wanted right there, right then. Consequences to the future be damned.

Don't hand me that horseshit line about "well, there wasn't going to be a future if they had waited or been more careful." Go pound sand with those excuses.
