#FoggyFriday 🍂

I don't think the president of the United States should starve Americans

Between a bonus and my earning 3 paychecks this month, we've done okay in September and October. However, that's going to dry up soon, and my spouse still hasn't had any luck finding a job. Every bit helps us keep going a bit longer! gofund.me/79519a297

Someone very generous sent me money to help cover rent but I still had to borrow $500 out of my next check to help cover other bills, groceries, and gas. Would love to offset that so hopefully I don't have to borrow from the next check and then the next one. gofund.me/d8bb77875

"he's not going to be on the ballot in 2028, despite all the noises he's making now" And if he tries, any state with a Blue Secretary of State or Governor will refuse to add him, which would be hilarious.

Has Speaker Johnson, who prides himself on starting the Civility Caucus, commented on a member being verbally harassed and berated like this?

Ugh. Navigating medical leave requests is nightmarish, even for intermittent leave requests.

Two things that normies love that are wrong: Congress gets paid too much AND term limits. More pay, term limits only for jobs you can't get voted out of

If only the rich have the means to serve in government, you're going to get government for the rich, regardless of who votes. This seems axiomatically true, to me. The President (an office which shouldn't exist, but) should be paid like 100MM/yr. Senators, like 10MM. Reps, like 1MM.

This is likely boosted by X’s algorithm because the owner of the social media site hates trans people and wants to see them suffer.

oh my god LOL

the law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

in any just world, his assets would be seized and distributed to the families of those whose deaths he caused. and then he would be forced, for the rest of his long and miserable life, to watch home movies and hear testimonials about those people. eventually he would break. he's not that strong.

A spooky commission for Frog of their lovely Asura! Thank you so much for letting me draw your sharkrat again I super much appreciate the support! Thanks for watching! Hope you all had a spooky Halloween <3 My Guild Wars 2 art is sponsored by ArenaNet! #guildwars2 #art #asura #gw2 #gw2

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

no one hates women like transphobes hate women. you wouldn’t go through life treating trans femmes like they’re using cheat codes if you believed cis women could actually just be better at stuff than a man

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.

I cackled.

it's not sufficient, and it has to be followed by doing the hard work of rebuilding a functional society but last night does show one thing: "vote harder" is, actually, pretty effective

Or when you try to delete a file or folder and are informed that a process is using it - without its telling you which process!

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers. www.health.com/adhd-medicat...

Forgot to take my Lexapro last night so today will be "fun".

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

What is the opposite of doomscrolling?

Worth considering that this is the first major election night post-sealing of the Honmoon. Coincidence?

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

The GOP vile anti-trans campaign failed miserably. Earle-Sears made it her dominant issue - and lost hugely Should be duly noted by the punditry (but don't count on that)

Please check all that apply

I continue to believe that trans issues are not a distraction, but the bleeding edge of the most brutal attempt to wield fed power against a minority since the 1950s. To me, even tho our numbers are not large, the principles involved make it worth speaking out and defending wherever possible.

Gotta love pill cutters. They can't seem to cut pills in half. I either get too large a pill and get super drowsy but a good mood, or too small and my energy is fine but my anxiety is high. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

...it says something that my first thought was "Star Trek TOS communicator".

"I was able to have a perfectly pleasant afternoon with trans people by politely holding my tongue long enough to have a mundane business transaction." You know, there's a lesson to be learned here if he bothers upon reflection.

every news outlet and journalist who calls trans rights a losing issue should be forcefed soap and their own regrets

I should get up and go take my pills and make breakfast, but I have a cat sleeping on my chin. Clearly, I'm going to starve.

Go fuck yourself

As mentioned, I've been playing a lot of GW2 lately; I've been really enjoying my Galeshot ranger (the new elite spec added with the Visions of Eternity expansion.

no Halloween piece so I humbly present this repost 🧙

It's himself's birthday tonight. To date, he's survived all of them.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

End of the month closing in and me and Jane could really use some help raising extra cash to help cover rent. gofund.me/0fa6c580e

*Goofs off a little in GW2* *Does an event to collect crabs so that a castaway can make an offering* *The crabs start dancing to rave music???*

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

Ridiculously wholesome both in-character and out.
