I am 15 payments away from having my student loans forgiven through public service. Or, was, because that’s obviously not happening now

Readers, writers, and anyone who believes in freedom of expression or art, should be worried Project 2025’s incendiary plans for books.

Listen, if I ever post something like this, call 911 because I’ve been kidnapped. Have I “made it” if my account is used like this?

These fuckers are always the first ones to say “don’t politicize a natural disaster”, and yet every opportunity they have, they will insert some kind of political statement to convince duped voters that Republicans actually have their best interest at heart

Because oh absolutely, yes the Republicans who consistently want to reduce the amount of funds available to help anyone in America for any reason actually give a shit about you

Their beloved Trump would reduce funding for the very agencies that help predict and protect people from these disasters, but sure they’re good for you

And let’s not forget the very people who vote for him will be more than ready to accept money from the government, which is only there because of tax dollars, you know, the tax dollars they don’t think anyone should have to pay

I am honestly so sick of living in a country where stupid and ignorant and, frankly, cruel people have a disproportionate amount of power and make life hard for everyone else as a result.

People who believe THIS shit will be voting and we’ll all suffer because of it

It is unfuckingbelievable that all of these emergency management folks in their press conference are thanking their governor for being so awesome when it’s the governor who won’t even let them say the words climate change

I watch a lot of dog behaviorist videos because I have a reactive dog. So now when I see pictures or videos of dogs online I’m like, “oh, that dog is really is stressed, his ears are pinned back.” “Oh, that dog REALLY doesn’t like that kid hanging on her.” This morning I was looking through FB memories and a pic of my ex-boyfriend popped up and my brain immediately said, “oh wow look at that tense smile and the way his eyes look, he’s not happy and wants out of this situation” 😂

Men told the last woman running for president to smile more but they’re saying the woman running for president now smiles too much. Maybe it’s never been about the smile

The people who say banning guns won’t stop crime want to ban masks to stop crime

A minor can’t get a divorce because minors don’t have the right to enter in or break a contract and marriage is a contract. That their PARENTS can force them into.

Nine out of ten of the highest offending states are Republican led states.

OP says she’s in Missouri. She has a lawyer, says ex didn’t show up for court the day the divorce was finalized and is now claiming he disagrees with the terms and the custody arrangement so judge overturned it. I also don’t understand how this could happen. If this is true, women are so fucked. This is nightmare Handmaid’s shit

My kid left for Denver this morning with her boyfriend, who has an internship with Ball Aerospace this summer. She'll be working in healthcare, as she needs lots of hours like that before applying to med school next year. Her boyfriend will be graduating with a BS in Engineering and an MS in Engineering Management (a tough concurrent degree path at Rose-Hulman). Don't let anyone tell you that everyone has the same opportunities. These kids are PRIVILEGED to have these opportunities.

The persistent myth in America that everyone can have the life they want is absolute bullshit. These two young adults (I shouldn't have said kids before) have educated parents, a solid upper middle class upbringing, and both went to a high school that is considered one of the best in the state. Their parents were able to save some $$ for college so they have less debt when they graduate than most of their peers. And now they have parents helping them with $$ so they can do internships like this.

News: “Storms are increasing in frequency and intensity, tornadoes are striking in areas not normally hit, people are dying.”
People: Climate change isn’t real.

People: “Jeez, everyone just seems sick all the time. My kids have been coughing since last year, I have this weird tingling in my hands for some reason, and I can’t remember shit.”
Same people: “Covid is just a cold. I’ve had it four times with no ill effects whatsoever.”

People suck
