Not a question, just wanted to say thank you for always showing how easy it is to be a decent person! x
I appreciate this, and I will gently point out that it isn't always easy, and it's okay to fall short of your expectations for yourself, as long as you are doing your best.
But what's in your heart will always rise to the surface, and if that is kindness and decency, you're going to be okay.

Honestly bizarre that tomatoes get all the flack for ānot being a vegetableā because they're technically a fruit when:
A) There are a ton of fruits that get categorised as vegetables. Like this also applies to pumpkins, squashes and cucumbers.
B) The fucking mushrooms are standing there at the back of the crowd in this witch trial, trying to look inconspicuous because they somehow got into the vegetable club with no fucking controversy despite the fact that they're not even plants.
My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.
We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.
We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.
We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.
We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

Scientific American endorses Kamala Harris.
So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and itās taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, heās sharp, heās funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.
But Walz offers something that the other men in contention donāt that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.
He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but thatās not who weāre talking to. Weāre talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didnāt line up with who a Democrat was, or didnāt feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.
He served in the military. He went to a state college. Heās your favorite teacher from your public high school. Heās your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. Heās the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.
Heās the neighbor who helps you jump your car. Heās your uncle who takes you hunting. Heās your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. Heās you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. Heās you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. Heās you when he says āit had to be meā and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.
He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That itās normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and youāre not a weirdo, are you?
That thereās a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they donāt have to default to being fucking weird.
I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and go⦠yeah, thatās me. Thatās who Iām gonna be.
Coloring in empty space with no population Red has given Republicans a feeling of power.
