Fitting that they used the version of the pride flag that omits trans and intersex people while baking a cake referencing harry potter.
fucking wild how libs are bending over backwards to not acknowledge how the only ethnicity to vote more for Trump than Harris, regardless of gender, was crackers.
I'm sorry but, what the actual fuck is wrong with allistics?
a fucking revelation?! shape better therapy strategies?! how about shaping a more holistic approach to understanding people and interacting socially and allowing neurodivergent people to be themselves? how about spend an hour talking to an autistic person while actually considering how they react to things rather than assuming we're emotionless computers just because we don't use the same social cueing criteria as allistics?
jesus fucking christ this headline got me riled.
It took me a full two rereadings to realize this article is somehow trying to cast Greta in a negative light.
I thought about what would have happened if protesters were instead chanting anti-Black slogans, or even something like “D.E.I. has got to die,” to the same “Sound Off” tune that “From the river to the sea” has been adapted to. They would have lasted roughly five minutes before masses of students shouted them down and drove them off the campus. Chants like that would have been condemned as a grave rupture of civilized exchange, heralded as threatening resegregation and branded as a form of violence. I’d wager that most of the student protesters against the Gaza War would view them that way, in fact. Why do so many people think that weekslong campus protests against not just the war in Gaza but Israel’s very existence are nevertheless permissible?
because Isn'trael is an apartheid colonial proxy state committing genocide against Palestinians as we speak, you literal shit-for-brains. no professor should be able to write a paragraph like that, ending in a question like that, and not sit there for a few minutes and rethink their entire existence to that point.

as a trans lesbian, I am terrified of another Trump presidency.
that said, I am sick and tired of people like me being used as mere rhetorical pawns by liberals. if democrats cared about trans and queer people locally, if they cared about people of color locally, if they cared about women locally, you know what they would have fucking done? run a viable candidate. stopped supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians. codified bodily autonomy and freedom of sexuality and gender identity into law. and they have done exactly zero of those things.
I'm tired of pretending democrats are the lesser of two evils. they're not less evil. they're just marginally less forthcoming about their evil, which is honestly worse in a lot of ways. at least Trump says he wants trans people eradicated, meanwhile Biden will make some mushy statement about the Trans Day of Visibility while doing jack shit to protect the rights of trans people in, what, half the country now? over half?
I'm seeing a lot of "we just have to do this for this election, guys! then we can vote against the genocidal democrat!" in there, and like... are people legitimately not aware that Trump will absolutely run in every presidential election until he's elected or dies?
they're literally holding the carrot of "Trump magically won't run after this election, guys!" in front of their own noses, and it's disgusting.
at least if Trump wins this election, and doesn't move insanely fast to dismantle constitutional government structure (which sure doesn't seem like a mere four-year task to me), he'll have hit his term limit and we won't have to worry about him anymore. I'm sure the republicans will run somebody equally evil after Trump hits his term limit, but like, come on, libs, use your fucking brains.
OH MY JOD
look I know we're all discussing the absolute cringe of the post and the weird lil guy in a jar, but also wtaf is this book.
is that a motherfucking Dune reference?
link to archived version the article, for anyone else interested.
tl;dr these people wrote up a shitty "family" contract and are now realizing there maybe should have been clauses around what happens if the property value changes before the title/deed is signed over.
as a credit to the author, part of his response included counter-asking the couple if they would feel obligated to pay their daughter an extra $100k had the home's value increased before the deed was signed over.
oh, also, this appears to have been one of several rental properties the daughter owned, but she spread herself too thin to afford this one, so nobody in this scenario is really the "good guy".
