Meet in public for expensive transactions.

He should have a blanket over his head while he says this. If you know, you know.

You need better shoes. I like Atoms. I walked all throughout the pandemic while listening to podcasts (didn’t have a car and lived alone). They served me well.

Seek help from a trusted adult. Teacher, parent of a friend that you trust, wherever you can.

I wanted to be in a famous rock band. It was reasonable to tell me that was highly unlikely. Unless your goals are like that, screw them and do what makes you happy.

Yes.

That silly drunken rascal.

I don’t know who this guy is, but I’m with at least on this.

I am neurodivergent. I have bi-polar DISORDER. I find this offensive. This asshole would have you think that my parents’ children were harmed by vaccines and are diseased and less-than. The reality is that mental health issues run in our family. This is disgusting. Fuck him.

Edit: I am extremely non-violent, but I’d sure like to punch this fucker.

If they thought clearly, they wouldn’t be prime targets for conspiracy theories and propaganda. We’re talking about people who can’t think rationally.

At this point, I don’t care. It’s just something that can be weaponized.

Hey. I don’t tell you what to do. It’s the weekend.

I walked out of a concert because we were at the top of those stairs in a huge arena. Just felt like I would fall forward out of my seat for no reason, which is completely ludicrous but that didn’t stop my unease. The seats sucked anyway.

It really upset me. I just tried to ignore him but it actually kinda ruined my day.

That’ll be a relief for high school students everywhere.

This is a fantastic take.

I got that reference. The poster they gave out a MacWorld SF in 2004 is framed on the wall right behind me in my office. Bonus: you can see my Trans Pride (for others) reflected in the glass. It’s hanging in the window.

Oakland uses ranked choice voting, which means that if a candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, that person wins. If not, the last-place candidate is eliminated, and voters who selected that person have their votes counted for their next choice — a cycle that repeats until a candidate gets a majority.

We need this nationwide.

I don’t know anything about her, but this sounds all right to me:

As for homelessness, Lee has referred to the crisis as a “moral disgrace.” She said she wants to test a guaranteed income pilot program for homeless people, hire unhoused residents to clean the streets, and work with the Veterans Administration to get veterans off the street.
