Happy some stay the righteous course

Every single time I open any news source, I feel like I have a problematic child. I find myself constantly asking “what did he do now?” And “who did he hurt now?” This is ridiculous.

I beg your finest pardon…? Insanity.

It's interesting that I have an 18 year old nephew with autism, and there has never been an instance in which he randomly performed a Nazi salute…

“Are you free tomorrow?” Nope. I’m expensive everyday.

One of the reasons why I love it here is that you can form cool connections with strangers you have more in common with than people you've known for decades.

I have a history joke but it was lost in time.

I no longer support (and haven't for more than a decade) Walmart, Home Depot, Papa John's, Kohl's, Chick-fil-a, (& many more--any who support and contribute to Republicans). I do support Target, Lowe's, Amazon (who need to pay their warehouse workers better), Chipotle.

Friends - I am working on a small project. What are some of your progressive and feminist quotes and sayings that are relatively short? Appreciate you in advance!

Wow. Just got back from taking my oldest niece to the last show of Taylor Swift's tour. I was never a fan, but what a beautiful show and wonderful role model.

The hypocrisy is off the charts with this tweet.

A friend of mine found this on IG and sent it to me. I laughed so loud. Very true. 😂

spotted on another platform. ❤️

Hello friends! I have been offline for a few days to rest. Friendly reminder that self care is very important always, but especially this time of year. What are your favorite self care activities?

Good point! Unfortunately I can't edit the image - it is a screenshot from another platform. But I appreciate you pointing that out!!

Nice! thehill.com/homenews/adm...

What companies are you no longer supporting? Also, which companies (on any scale, large or small business) are you looking forward to purchasing from? Taking this into consideration as I plan my holiday shopping.

This in a nutshell....

This. No one is free so long as others are still oppressed. There is much work to be done.

Damn Paige. As I read this, tears walked up in my eyes. It’s the unspoken at the moment, but this is why I don’t want to go see my parents and family in Texas. Care to adopt a salt and pepper bearded middle aged curmudgeon, anyone?

A friend of mine posted this on another platform, and I think she is spot on. "I cannot and will not be friends with Trump supporters. Your politics is an outward expression of your values and we don't share the same values."

Saw someone on Twitter this morning say: “You can’t win arguments over on Bluesky because everyone’s too nice to each other.” You can’t win arguments on Twitter either, no one wins, it’s just endless back and forth that makes you wonder why you said anything to begin with.

I think the saddest part of this election is that we expected the people closest to us to care about others.

I've only been on here for a day. Wow. The personal connections I have made are different than any other social media platform. Also, I love reading all of your bios. There are so many incredible humans on here.

It is so odd to me that we have to keep saying this... but..."You cannot politely disagree with someone's existence"

"Agree to disagree" is for debating if pineapple belongs on pizza. Not basic human decency.

I'll just leave this here. You're welcome to make your own correlations.

Great advice!

With Thanksgiving approaching, I would like to remind everyone that you do not owe anyone your time. If spending time with certain family members causes you stress, it is not worth your peace.

Read this while drinking my morning coffee. An enjoyable read. time.com/4551817/50-w...

"If you think you love freedom but you don't care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege."

Folks - if you need a place to vent other than the internet, remember that a lot of local Dem Clubs are hosting events. Look up your local club! You might even have a fun time and meet new people :)

This is exactly the right feeling!

A blue dot in a sea of red. I feel for others going through the same thing.

Its scary to think about how many people voted in a way that will harm their own family members...

Oh no, this echo chamber I'm stuck in is full of amazing art, generous, kind people, and joy. What ever shall I do?

This platform is a breath of fresh air.
