So tired of boomers telling us that they worked their way through college and so can we. Talked to my grandmother. Her student loan was $15 every other month for a few years. My parents went to college in the late nineties, both got scholarships, and we’re still paying off my dad’s student loans. College tuition has tripled since my parents went to school. Please shut the fuck up. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Stop telling children to, “just ignore it.” It makes excuses for bullies and it doesn’t work. It never has. All it does is teach kids that it’s okay for them to walk all over people, and it teaches the kids being bullied that it’s okay for people to treat them that way. Stop it.
The funny thing is, the worst thing your average person on the left says about your average person on the right is that they’re bigoted or a conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, they’re perfectly comfortable calling us baby murderers and pedophiles, and yet accuse us of judging them.
when people are like “oh so you’re just gonna judge someone for their political beliefs?” yes actually. I think someone’s values and opinions is a pretty reasonable thing to judge them for.
“I don’t want to get the vaccine because there’s only a 3% fatality rate.”
If someone hands you a hundred skittles and tells you three of them are poison, you still probably wanna avoid the skittles.
So I’ve got severe palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the hands) and I’m considering going all the way to California to get a relatively new surgery done to help it. I’ve had lots of people tell me it’s stupid to get a surgery for sweaty hands, so let me explain this to you motherfuckers. My hands are literally so sweaty that if I wear gloves and then hold my hand straight up, water will fall out of it. I can hardly ever play my piano because it just turns into a slip and slide. I’ve had to buy elbow length gloves just so I can draw and write without getting the paper soaked. My hands are very difficult to use most of the time. So yeah. The point of this post is, don’t judge people’s medical conditions if you haven’t experienced them. Please and thank you.

I’m very annoyed with the fact that American news networks only really share the American death toll, 582K, as if Americans are the only ones that matter. It’s just more of our America-centric bullshit. The global death toll is over 3.31M. Let me repeat that. The global death toll is over 3.31 MILLION. 3,310,000. That’s how many people have died. Because Americans, believe it or not, are not the only people in the world.
I’m tired of reporters letting politicians get away with claiming the election was rigged. The job of a reporter is to make sure the public is informed. This person is pushing disinformation. Shove your mic in their face and demand they provide evidence until they either give you some or admit they don’t have any. I want to see those people admit that they don’t have evidence. I wanna hear them say it.
(Part two of my message)
These are not the people I know. These are strangers who have been led astray and brainwashed by people who don’t think of anyone but themselves. My own family is almost unrecognizable to me. There are moments where I feel like I know them, when my grandmother will ask me to help her fill up her hummingbird feeder or sit down and tell me stories about her life or about my mom. Or when my papa will talk my grandma into letting me do something (yes, I’m a legal adult, but I’m still a kid to them) and then wink at me behind her back. But then they go back to being strangers, to people I sometimes feel uncomfortable just sitting down with. To conspiracy theorists, to people who, if they knew my whole belief system, might think I was evil. And it’s all because you value money over human beings. It’s all because you’re selfish. I miss the grandma who always bought me cotton candy when we went to the children’s museum, even though she knew I would get her car all sticky. Who taught me how to sew and helped me print off coloring pages and turn them into little coloring books. I miss the papa who would always carry an unreasonably big camera around his neck when we went to the zoo, who played basketball with me, and who let me ride on his lap while he mowed the lawn. I miss the people I knew. Those people are gone now, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get them back. I hope and pray that I will, but I doubt it very much. It’s a strange experience, watching someone become more distant every day, and yet still feeling them right beside you. Still getting encouraging texts and talking to them on the phone. It’s weird to sit right across from someone and recognize their face, but not the person behind it. It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to come to terms with the fact that your family is gone when they’re standing right in front of you. It’s a kind of grief that is not easy to explain, and not recognizable to most people. But it is there. So, to everyone I addressed this letter to, to the people who have profited off of people’s radicalization, I don’t want an apology. I don’t want you to suddenly start fact checking and taking down disinformation. It is far too little and far too late. This is one of those mistakes that you simply cannot fix, no matter how hard you try. The only thing that you can do now is recognize what you have done, and let the guilt haunt you for the rest of your life, and I truly hope it does, because you stole my family from me, and I will never, ever forgive you.
To those who profit off of right wing radicalization:
This is a message for big social media companies whose algorithms boost radical content and lead people down conspiracy theory rabbit holes, for radical right wing news networks like OAN and NewsMax, for conspiracy theory promoters who know that what they’re saying isn’t true but promote it anyway because it makes them money, for Jim Watkins and whoever is behind Q, for all of the conservative congressmen and women like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz who voted not to certify the election results. And for Donald J. Trump. How dare you? How dare you prey on people who are confused and scared and searching for anything that provides them with answers in this time of uncertainty. You have knowingly radicalized people, torn them apart from their families, their friends, their communities. You have tricked these people into believing that the world is against them. People are naturally afraid of what they cannot control. They will instinctively search for answers that make them feel like this has happened for a reason. That there is something that can be done to make all of our problems go away. You know this. And instead of doing your part to ensure that people have the right information and know who to look to in this time of need, you chose to trade people’s lives and well-being for your own monetary gain. A large group of the population lived most of their lives without the internet. They are not used to being able to access such a large quantity of information. And they are certainly not used to a lot of it being untrue. These people grew up where their only sources of information were local and national news and the library. They grew up in a world where there wasn’t much monetary benefit to misinformation. Where they could, for the most part, trust that the information they were being told was true. They were never taught how to check the validity of online sources, how to know if what they’re being told is true. As a result, they are especially vulnerable to fear mongering, conspiracy theories, and ultimately, radicalization. You knew that, and you exploited them. My grandparents have always been conservative, but they were never conspiracy theorists. They always had their heads on straight. They may have disagreed with democrats and other people on the left, but they weren’t evil. There might have been differences between them and other branches of Christianity, but that didn’t mean they were Godless. They may not have liked certain government interventions, but that didn’t mean they were trying to prosecute Christians. In the past couple of years, and especially since the start of Covid, all of that has changed. My grandmother is always talking about how terrible the state of human trafficking in this country is. She’s always going on about how all of these social distancing regulations are just trying to make Christianity illegal. She said that Joe Biden is awful and not a real Christian because he’s Catholic. She thinks the CDC, a non-partisan organization, is corrupt. (Luckily she still got the vaccine.) She even told me that they’re making it legal in some places to murder babies who are already born. My grandfather, while more subtle about his beliefs around me, will still mutter things to my grandmother when smear campaign ads come on, and will nod along when my grandmother repeats bunk facts and statistics about antifa and abortion. (This is part 1. I’m posting part 2 right away.)
Why have we convinced ourselves that backpacks are only for students and children? They’re legit so much better than purses. You’ve gotta use your arm all the time. Then you have to set down your purse just to pick something up or pay for something. And it hurts to carry too much on one shoulder so you keep having to switch it back and forth. It’s always swinging around and hitting things. Anyway, backpacks are far superior to purses and I will never stop wearing them.

john mulaney and nick kroll did my econ homework and i think i finally get it.
Me:You have an eyelash on your cheek.

Me:But.. but you forgot to make a wish..
So you might have seen this image going around the internet.
[ID: A high school hallway crammed with shoulder-to-shoulder teenagers, about three of whom are wearing masks. End ID.]
This is a high school in my area. This was the first day back. This picture, taken by a student, went viral (ha), and the superintendent was more or less forced to make a statement. It’s long and it’s a lot of bullshit but here’s the big stupid part.
“One area where we have received a good deal of feedback is mask use in our schools. Wearing a mask is a personal choice and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them. What we will do is continue to strongly encourage all students and staff to wear masks.”
If I have to explain to you the staggering level of bullshit in this statement, then you’ve never been an AFAB person in high school. Tank top? Sent home. Jeans too tight? Home. Collarbones showing? Home. Never mind the application of out-of-school suspension, which is its own kind of bullshit that we’re not here to discuss today. If you can send someone home for showing too much ankle you can send them home for not wearing a mask.
I’ve seen pushback against him on Twitter but they’ve already proven they don’t give a shit what we think, or care about the safety of the students OR staff. Only that things look like they’ve gone back to normal.
So it’d be a real shame if people from all over blew up their phones at 770-443-8000 or used faxzero.com to send 5 free faxes per day to 770-443-8089 making known their concerns about this anti-response to a massive public health risk. Make it a national issue and maybe shame our government into acting like they’ve got a single brain cell between them. It’d just be real upsetting. I’m just saying.
*Candace Flynn voice* Mom, Donald’s colluding with foreign governments again!
