Guaranteed the far-right does not see them as Americans.

She was kidnapped, and is being held somewhere against her will. This is absolutely insane, and not at all surprising. Doesn’t seem like the actual law enforcement will do anything about it? Or perhaps they are the ones feeding the info to the collaborators?

That has to be terrifying for her family.

I cringe every time I read “the war in Gaza”. It is clearly a genocide. There is no way one could say otherwise, in good faith. The fact that my tax dollars are funding this sickens me.

It is annoying though. Fuck.

Idk the message there is actually pretty good. If they follow the teachings of their prophet, then they’d leave us the hell alone.

Headlines are so sensational. From the article:

A Korean Air spokesperson said: “A Korean Air aircraft came into contact with a Cathay aircraft during pushback at New Chitose (Sapporo) Airport by the third-party ground handler vehicle which slipped due to heavy snow. There were no injuries and the airline is cooperating with all relevant authorities.”

This was not related to the other event, at all. A plane slid into another, due to heavy snow, while being moved by the ground crew.

I hope you are not being obtuse. No children are having such surgeries. This is a lie that is presented as fact to justify these hateful pieces of legislation. Children typically only socially transition, as in new name, hairstyle, clothes, etc. There is absolutely no mutilation or irreversible changes being made to these kids.

I think this bears repeating: No children are having any sort of gender affirming surgeries. These are lies that are used by hateful people to attack people like me. Please do not believe these lies. Rather, talk to a trans person. Hear their story. We just want to live our lives in peace.

I don’t get it. iMessage is Apple’s service. Why are they obliged to open it up for everyone to use? Would it be nice? Yes, of course. Should Apple be legally required to open up access to their service?

They traumatized a child for what? Those fucking pigs applied pain compliance techniques on a child. Then they shot him. The pig that shot him said that he thought he was using the taser. They thought that using a taser on a child was acceptable.

I cannot say on here what I think should happen. I do like the smell of bacon sizzling in the pan though.

That would humanize those whom they oppress.

We are not happy with that. We are ashamed of that. But [under] the jury system, you have to follow the laws, and I cannot tell a judge [to] do that and ignore the law, because... that's against the rule of law," he said.

Listen: I don’t make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

My best friend’s husband is very protective of me. We were at a friend’s house eating and drinking, when someone who we had not met came over. This guy was a friend of the host, and was already a bit drunk. I introduced myself to him, Tên tôi là Jessica. I really only know a few sentences in VN, but I try. Yeah, what is your real name? I respond Jessica. He asks over and over, meanwhile I can see the rage building in bestie’s husband. Finally, Anh says Her name is Jessica! You got a problem with that!? The asshole then gets real quiet. I knew in that moment that Anh was about to pound this drunk asshole into the ground, because the belligerent and aggressive asshole would not leave me alone.

The screen cap that was posted may be fake, who knows? But I remember that moment, from like 5 or so years ago, vividly. It was that very moment that I realized that they were not friends—they were the family that chose me.

Not sure why I am sharing this 😅
