Hey uh, if anyone here would be willing to message me about how to bind using safe methods without buying an actual binder (like sports bras) could you just send me a message? Preferably if I know you already

The US house, 5 or 6 governor’s, and a number of state congresses flipped this year. We had some losses in the senate, but that was a long shot anyway and 2020 looks a lot better for us and a lot worse for them.
Nevada trended even more blue. Texas nearly had an upset in the senate race, and Beto has helped develop the democratic party in Texas in ways that have not existed before.
I can’t downplay how important that is or how much of a victory tonight actually is for us.
State victories mean more people can be helped at the state and local level.
Holding onto the state level stuff into 2020? Means we can fix the fucking gerrymandering for the US house if we can pick up even more states.
Having the US house means the Republican Agenda of Governmental Destruction comes to a grinding halt. It means we can subpoena records and people from the Trump administration. It means his tax records? Are ours.
It means if trump stops the FBI investigation the House can start it up again on their own.
It means we have a democrat third in line to the presidency.
It means oversight, it means committees and investigations and it means medicare is protected, social security, obamacare.
It means if a democrat tries to gain access to a child detention camp and is refused they can then turn around and order subpoenas and investigations.
It means the only things that get passed the next two years are naming post offices and bare bones budgets.
I guess I'm getting to James first, for he really annoys me. He's a bully, and he did really awful things when he and Reg weren't together. I hope he'll grow up. It doesn't mean I don't think he's a good friend with great potential as an adult. You portray him well. So James, why did you think it was okay to kinda harass Reg with messages about how horny and in love you are ? Do you know not everything is about sex ? And... Can't you JUST ask yourself if you're not responsible for Lily's depart?
((OOC: Again, thank you!! 😊))
James: I was an idiot. I know I was an idiot. I can’t change what I did and how I acted, but all I can try to do is make up for it now, which is what I’m trying to do.
James: And MAYBE I’ve been a bit lazy with my head boy duties, but it’s not my fault. Lily should have specifically told me if she wanted me to do some work…
Fun zodiac facts here!
“In nearly every major city and most small towns, there are anarchists, or people with unlabeled anarchist values, plotting ways to create space for our radical projects promoting positive freedom. In most cities, our efforts are duly encumbered with the toil of filling in the abyss of gaps in state services: from Food Not Bombs to refugee squats. Our ethos is one of responding directly and with accountability to need. After all, supporting people to live in spite of the violence of the state and mega-corporations is a project of positive freedom. Yet we also dream and whisper and fight and fuck and love in a myriad of other ways as well. In times of great repression, looming fascist creep, and ecological disaster, the ever-present sense of capitalist alienation can run deeper. It can go so far as to crowbar apart the relationships we do have with outbursts of trauma, fear, depression, anxiety, exhaustion, and paranoia and the collective impact of things like trials and incarceration. I’ve spent long depressive bouts feeling as though I couldn’t talk to my friends and I drifted farther from my support and as well from my networked potential to make trouble and freedom. And yet for others still, they aren’t in a big city with a dozen public-facing projects to slowly build trust and plug into. They’re in a small town where the only other person with possibly similar values to them is a type of person the city punk would scarcely recognize as “radical”. In small towns, organizing has to happen differently and you can’t afford to be so picky about matching up niche sub-identities with your friends. You are forced to find the good in different kinds of people and maintain those relationships more deeply than the Tinder-style networking of big city radicalism. But despite these phenomena that some may see as limitations, even in the small towns, anarchists and those in our affinity, find resonance big and small. Even if just in little comments about the shared working-class resentment of cruel bosses or backcountry troublemaking while fleeing the authorities.”

sorry doesn’t cut it.
Please don’t call a whole fanbase or group a problem when its only a small amount of people in them that are causing the problem.
who the FUCK told society that depression and awkwardness is cute and adorable
