Week of Oct 10

I work at a school and we just got a call yesterday asking if we have litterboxes in the bathrooms. The receptionist called me to tell me. She said she was sure it was some weird prank. Sigh.

Also this, though

Wow

Oh. Well now this makes me sad and mad on multiple levels.

[sifl]

But also I’m listening to this and it’s giving me some hope. We have to show up for each other.

Hi, don’t usually go here, but wanted to share this tidbit that I just heard on the local news.

For every 1 newly registered male voter in Ohio, there have been ~11 newly registered female voters. Only Kansas had a higher ratio.

I needed this, thank you for sharing. I'm in an uber red county in MI and my anxiety has been ramping up more and more. I keep thinking about all the new voter who are eligible to vote since the last election and the likelihood that they are more progressive than conservative and also (not to be macabre, but realistic) all the conservative boomers who have passed since are going to keep us headed in the right direction and we won't have another 2016.

Wow. That story is wild.

[iruntodrink]

Thank you for sharing all that elle. I see it a lot in my feed and it validates my thoughts that it's not a thing and it's an attack on the + part of the community. I'll be sharing that article that once again people are being puppeted.

Then I'll share my yearly reminder that no one is giving drugs out as Halloween candy.

It honestly just keeps getting worse

Not sure if I mentioned it in here, but back in 2020 when masks were a suggestion to help stop the spread. There was someone with a printer who was making and selling ADA lanyards “don’t ask me about my mask it is against the ADA. People were going nuts for them and a whole slew of awful people surfaced. Anyway, the one selling them is now running for on e of the school boards being backed by this PAC.

So very many things rely on Blood being governor and not the other guy (who’s managers refuse to let him debate).

This is so sad. The 16-year-old was the shooter's brother.

Mother fucking climate change. 🤬

This story has more background on the declines of crab stock. They suspect a mass mortality event.

I have kids in middle and high school and there are kids who dress as cats (furries??) and also fairies, I am guessing that’s where the litter box stuff comes from?? (There are no actual litter boxes)

Also the shooting in Raleigh was very close to my mom and I hate that we live this way.

Hugs. It's such an awful feeling. We live about 25 minutes away. My neighbor's wife was on the way to a church meeting in that exact area when her pastor called her from inside of a locked room telling her to turn around because there was an active shooter situation.

I get so angry at all the assholes who continue to vote for the shitty Republicans that won't pass stricter gun legislation. There's blood on all of their hands.

Science Vs dropped a podcast episode on mass shootings. It was interesting to hear the science behind banning ARs, high capacity magazines, and mental health in regards to their roles in mass shootings.

Spoiler, Science Vs is pro all the things democrats support because science backs it all. Shocking.

This is awful 😞

[LaRo422]

I didn’t watch the “debate” but I’ve caught some of the highlights on Twitter. This whole thing is so bizarre.

Speaking of Twitter, until a week or so ago, my feed never had anything pro-R, like at all. Obviously, the algorithm knows me lol. But now, I’m seeing tweets from R’s I don’t even follow, like Calista Gingrich. I’m blocking someone new every single day. It’s weird.
