Books. Cspan. Try again. I can't spoon feed you 30 years worth of politics in a lemmy post. Nothing you posted was in the parking lot of the stadium of truth.

Yeah. None of what you said it true tho? For the border I'd recommend this book Everyone who is gone is here by Jonathan Blitzer. And they can't codify without the votes? Remember Obamacare? To agree with you I'd have to only become political aware a couple years ago and never read more than headlines. Pick up a book, watch some cspan, try again.

Sigh. There was a moment when I first joined lemmy that I was impressed how liberal of a space it was. And then I wandered into the comments of posts concerning gender. Fuucking depressing. Really, people would benefit from a gender studies class, or even anthropology or family and society, but for some everything is an attack and I doubt they'll listen.

Riiiiight. They'll never overturn Roe, that's got judicial standing. It's downright hysterical to suggest such a thing could happen. It's not like we could live in an America with a 3rd of American women under an abortion ban right, and a national ban looming? RIGHT? And it would be unthinkable to intentionally and irrevocably separate families right? Not for any procedural necessity, but just to brutally traumatize anyone who tries to make a crossing. That'd be a pretty fucked up inhuman policy RIGHT?

I've deleted my account, but for twitter was nice for a run to get notifications on local road closures and weather alerts. Sigh.

Ah! I am a beginner, and use a much thinner quilting cotton. To prevent the glue showing I have to fill with mix of acrylic medium and starch paste (haven't found a ratio I really liked), or to back the cloth with paper. So to me your casing looked like witchcraft! I really like the etching effect. No idea how it'd work in practice, but it seems like you could make some gorgeous illustrationy covers by going over the cloth multiple times at different strengths for different values.

Ty for the post! Did you media fill the bookcloth with anything? What glue did you use?

Ty, I appreciate you throwing these type of breakdowns in the comments of 'national' polls too.

Nah, I'll bite

Candidates from the two major parties need signatures from 0.5% of qualified primary voters from their party in the congressional district. For parties not on the ballot for the last election, candidates must collect signatures from 5% of all general election voters, according to state law.

I don't hate this for state~~wide~~ level* offices. Election offices are under funded enough, they don't have the resources to fuck around with every joke party somebody makes.

Examples of how toxic masculinity and the patriarchy affects life presented in speech rather than a bullet point list. These terms are describing social structures and expectations. Not about hating individual men. The examples all are absolutely negative products of hegemonic masculinity. Look into sociological/gender studies/anthropology resources on the subject. I don't have the bandwidth to try and give you a primer on these schools of study, but they readily exist.

The DAILY DOUBLE! Woo.

Real talk. The effects of toxic masculinity are tangled up everywhere, in everything, crossing the blood-brain barrier like micro plastics. If you honestly think it don't exist, it's big sign to me that you are wrapped up in it to drowning. People shut down empathy as a trauma response, or because they're trying to replicate behaviors of a perceived 'in-group' (this would be the patriarchy) to gain acceptance. Either way it's got you. We're talking a nationwide ban on healthcare based on gender for half the country, and you don't see it? You don't think having healthcare is pretty fucking foundational? Is it 1 in 3 women who live under a ban in America now? Having your leaders celebrated for sexual violence not cast down ain't a sign to you? 'Grab 'em by the pussy' is running neck and neck for one of the most powerful executive positions in the world. We're criminalizing men who wear feminine attire, policing who is woman enough to piss where. The right just fell over itself to mock a kid who was proud to tears of his father. God forbid a man express joy. I keep getting texts from friends floored over the photo of Walz getting bunny eared by his smiling kids. There's a big reason why seeing them so completely unafraid to tease their father in public is resonating with people.
