One circus pharmacist
Sal E @SalEAny chance of a purple-haired, potion-wielding (I am a pharmacist) professorial type? Bonus if you can figure out how to work circus arts into that.07:17 AM - Jan 18, 2024
I love these so much. I've spent most of this early morning scrolling through the completed ones. The Lakes are particularly fabulous.

Quoting this because apparently there are some privileged dipshits that still need to hear it.
Bun the Franky @ZomBunnyFrankJust to make it clear:10:59 AM - Jul 12, 2023
The average cost of an interstate move in America is $5,000.
The number of people in America with less than $5,000 is savings is 75%.
Do the fucking math. And quit shitting on people who don't have the privilege to make a choice about which state they live in.

I HATE failing students. Hate. I've done it when necessary but it is nothing to brag about. And when your entire class is averaging a 37%, that's on you. I much prefer an overall class average somewhere in the B-B+ range.
Pamela NRed @PamelaNRedI think this applies to high school as well. This is nothing to brag about.01:23 PM - May 06, 2024

Hey Spoutible, I’ve been advised to update our quest to stay in our apartment with a GoFundMe, so I’m sending that out as well. Thanks to those who have helped along the way so far. Hopefully we can get this patch behind us and get moving forward.
Thank you!

I strongly recommend that you read TimothyDSnyder’s book. Just over 100 pages. And make sure you vote and tell everyone you know to do the same.

Your regular reminder that ACTUAL politics is not a reality TV show.
Angela @LumpySpaceAngelaNo one outside of his circle of top advisors really knows what President Biden has or has not done about Gaza. People need to get out of this mindset that if they don't see it nothing is happening. Dude is working his ass off for us and for peace in the Middle East and we have to trust him.05:23 PM - May 02, 2024

Biden (who is old) is offering/expanding bodily autonomy/reproductive freedom, the *right* to peacefully protest, and preserving/expanding the rights of a thriving democracy. Trump (who is old) will track pregnant women, throw protesters in jail, and will deport immigrants.

Good morning, Spoutible fam. I'm raising funds to hopefully cover the 4 days work I missed because of food poisoning and then the nearly $700 junk haul I paid for yesterday. I'm just trying to break even for May so I can start over in June. I'm so close, but need a hand.

The Florida abortion ban went into effect today. If we are going to flip Florida, we do it lit by supporting down ballot candidates. If you can’t throw in $5/10 and want to support these candidates, just echo. One of your followers may want the opportunity to donate to Florida.
Nikki Barnes @NikkiBarnesFLOk look…my Black Caucus friends have asked me to ask y’all to skip the drive-thru again, remind you that you have food at home, and ask that you chip in $10 to help Lenora Easter reach her fundraising goal by tonight. She’s running for Public Defender.

She glides across the water 🎵🎶
She calls for you tonight 🎵🎶
To share this moonlight 🎵🎶
You'll flow down her river 🎵🎶
She'll ask and you'll give her 🎵🎶

Look I agree that the way in which homeless folks are viewed and treated is abhorrent but comparing it to sundown towns is not accurate to me

Re: the man vs bear question.
You know what a bear doesn't do? In an almost empty waiting room at my doctor's appt, take the seat right next to me, begin talking to me as I am *very clearly typing on my phone*, heave a couple annoyed sighs and say, "Women just aren't friendly any more."

MY SHERO!
20ish young woman, the only other woman in the room, says, "Why are you demanding her time and attention? Maybe you need to ask a doctor about some mind-your-own-business pills."

In response to randy gold.
If I say I like cake, do I need to explain that I wouldn’t like stale cake or moldy cake? Some things are obvious when making a generic statement. You don’t need addendums and asking for them means that the parts that you should be paying attention to have gotten lost in your pedantry.

I think Not All-ing is done when folks feel implicated by association with people they somehow identify with. I belong to certain groups for which I've Not All'd in my head- for ex., Americans. But I don't Not All "out loud" bc the moment is about those whose injury needs to be understood, not me.

If your first thought is, "Wait now! Not all $MyGroup ..." stop there and think, "Why am I defensive about this and feel the need to make sure people know "Not it!". And then think some more in silence

One thing far too many white people regardless of age/gender/sexual orientation will never ever learn not to do is center themselves in a conversation.

A thought exercise for those called out:
Even if you're the exception, were you always the exception?
Do you at least recognize the issue being spoken of?
Have you done anything to address the issue within your in-group?
Feeling less defensive now? Good. Keep reflecting.

Men KNOW men are dangerous. THEY KNOW.
They know what they, themselves would do if they also know they'd get away with it.
They gaslight us.
The anger is because the gaslighting doesn't work anymore.

Because what they demand is a constant mind reading, a constant knowing of intentions.
"We should be more careful."
"Choose men better."
As though violent men, cruel men, dangerous men wear a sign or introduce themselves that way.
But we're supposed to "know."

But these are men who tell the women they will brutalize they love them. How are women supposed to know when it's a lie and when it is not?
These are men who will pretend to enjoy your company until you are clear that company does not include sex. How are we supposed to divine that?

Because men are quick to say not all men, but also quick to say we should "know."
So which is it?
And why is our safety less important than their feeling awkward or bad because we can't see the future?
