We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”.

"hey welcome-is this your first job making pizza" "no, i spent six years training with a classic brick oven pizzaiolo in naples" "great..cool...now this one we call 'the volcano dipper'"

Felt like I needed to add a sense of mystery and adventure to my life. Then I remembered we live in a world where I can order something called a "volcano dipper" from a pizza place and now my husband and I are waiting for this abomination to get delivered.

everyone talking about how "elected officials" and "the political elite" and "the media" bear responsibility for trump and have to get him out. no. you don't get it. we all bear responsibility for trump. that is the cost of democracy. every evil thing he does, we are responsible for.
