omg ๐Ÿ˜ the delicate petals, their layout, their brilliant color versus the throat and stamens and pistil - this is one of the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen!

Thank you for posting, this is truly, truly amazing!

Nobody is saying Trump is "just fine," we're saying Biden is not a compelling alternative.

If Trump is an existential threat that requires every possible effort be expended against him, sticking with grampy (as bets are placed whether he'll reach the election or the reaper) is gross negligence and really undermines the argument.

These screenshots are from my [email protected] account, but I'm using this one to report since this instance isn't federated with Hexbear.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help figure it out! Thanks again for Connect.

I genuinely don't understand why this person is complaining about wild leftist posting when midwest.social is also an explicitly leftist server. Maybe I'll come to eat my words, but I really don't think you guys are that out of pocket, and there's usually just as much effort-posting as PPBs. I just don't see the problem.

Edit: [email protected] has been created - that instance is hopping, I will not miss the party ๐Ÿฅณ

May your relationship with alcohol remain as healthy as your posting, which is fit as fuck.

Ikr, I got to that last sentence and was impressed! Especially after the preceding paragraph. Great stuff.

Where does MLK fit in there? He may not have literally used lib as a slur, but he wasn't shy about seeing them as an impediment to progress.

Were you a redditor? If so, you might remember r/chapotraphouse getting banned - they had been quarantined for quite a while before that, so they were ready to migrate when the ban came down. Idk if Hexbear is the first/only place they went or just where most ended up, but it's definitely the same vibe as the subreddit, with a little bit of discord thrown in with the emotes.

I will admit to being not the most observant person - especially as I'm in the process of switching medical providers right now, so I'm between ADHD prescriptions and definitely not as with it as I could be! - but when I poked my head in over there, I saw fellow anarchists posting, so I had consequently dismissed people saying they were churning out "CCP talking points." It mostly seems to me they churn out bullying - for everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders (which I mostly approve of, or at least find amusing). And Pig Poop Balls, of course. What did I miss?

I'm sorry about the parental alienation you and your children have suffered, that's terrible for everyone.

Not even my own father cares. He happily continues to see his grandkids because he doesn't want to "take sides."

I'm confused why you wouldn't want him to see them. Isn't in your best interest to have people who love you and think you're a good dad in your kids' lives? Somebody to counter the alienating narrative in whatever ways they can?

My kid is in high school, and they communicate about emergencies through text, email, and automated calls. There are lots of jobs, especially low-paying ones, that will not let you check your phone during your shift, and they're certainly not going to be okay with you leaving early to go pick up your kid. If the choice is "leave to pick up kid (who you know is safe with teachers), get fired," versus "leave kid (who you know is safe with teachers), keep job," it's pretty simple math.
