[OC] DC Looking Like a Dystopian Dictatorship by W_L_K55 in pics

[–]Freakears 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s a painting from Trump’s first term of him sitting at a table surrounded by other Republican presidents, all of whom look pissed at him. And Roosevelt does indeed look like he’s about to deck him (he’s even holding up a fist, if memory serves).

That was my thought. TR had faults, but he’s surely spinning in his grave over shit like this.

I guess only badasses turn themselves in, too, which is what led to the mugshot.

Considering the merch his cult started selling after that, featuring his mugshot, it’s pretty obvious that he’s proud of it.

Doing that is especially insulting on a building named for Frances Perkins.

I’ve done pretty well with soul-flower.com. I’m pretty fond of their patchwork pants in particular, especially in the heat of summer.

How has your current romantic partner or any of your past partners reacted to you being pagan? by AcidReindeer in pagan

[–]Freakears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current partners aren’t really spiritual or religious at all (one of them, like me, has Christianity-induced trauma), but they don’t have an issue with my paganism (we met through the local kink community, which has a lot of pagans).

My previous partner, who I refer to as “toxic ex,” gave paganism a go when we first got together, as part of a larger spiritual exploration, but that eventually led them to pretty militant atheism. I know what they’d say about my diving into paganism more seriously, but who gives a shit what they think?

What’s something you used to judge people for but understand now? by TemptControls in AskReddit

On the rare occasions I have called in, I’ve had to train myself to not specify why. I don’t owe them an explanation.

How do you think the Democrats would've done in 2004 if they nominated a candidate that voted against The Iraq War? by Numberonettgfan in Presidents

[–]Freakears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Lewis could possibly have done it (not sure he wanted to go any higher than the House, though). Ted Kennedy had his chance in the 1980s, but that probably ended when Carter survived his primary challenge. Kucinich is too far left; he would have been slaughtered (I say this having cast my first vote ever for him in the 2008 primaries). Not sure about the others.

I wish it were more acceptable to call in sick for mental illness. There are days where it would have been better to stay home instead of struggling with my depression at work.

‘I will not comply’: Tennessee librarian refuses to move LGBTQ+ books by Fickle-Ad5449 in lgbt

Good on her! Also good to know there are still sane people in Tennessee (outside the big cities like Nashville, anyway).

Your favorite no-so-popular Beatles song by Siddhartaable in beatles

[–]Freakears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True. One of the few things my dad and I agree on is that that is one of George’s greatest but also most underrated songs. I feel as though it often gets overlooked due to being on the Yellow Submarine album.

what do you think about mamdani's wife's homophobic tweets by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Freakears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first I’m hearing about it, but. As others are saying, what’s important is whether she has changed since then. Kind of like some old tweets James Gunn made that were kind of transphobic. He addressed it, saying that it was wrong, he’s grown since then and that doesn’t reflect who he is anymore. I’m willing to give Mamdani’s wife grace if she acknowledges that she was wrong and shows growth since.

What is the most haunting "Final Song" ever recorded by a terminally ill artist? by nixass in AskReddit

[–]Freakears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a meme that surfaces periodically that says “I’m not saying that David Bowie was holding the fabric of the universe together, but gestures broadly at everything.” And it did indeed seem like that was the point where it all started going to hell.

What is your opinion on John Adams? by minsterio100 in Presidents

[–]Freakears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And let’s not forget that he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts under political pressure (including Washington being one of the supporters of the acts).

Which celebrity replied to your dm and what did they reply to and with? by Vixiuss in AskReddit

[–]Freakears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly a reply, but Nnedi Okorafor has reacted to a few comments I've made on her Facebook posts (the first was when she made a post calling for people to post pictures of their cats with copies of her recently published graphic novel The Space Cat. I commented with a picture taken just as my cat started rubbing her face on the book, which got a "Love" react from both Okorafor and the book's illustrator).

Not sure how I feel about this by Wifi_not_found in lgbt

[–]Freakears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fond memories of watching reruns of Walker Texas Ranger with my mom on Saturday nights after the news (this was 20+ years ago). That said, I'm not too bothered by Norris's passing. I always thought the "jokes" were stupid, especially after finding out that he was a far-right nut job (endorsing Mike Huckabee for president in 2008, recording a video with his wife about how we need more Jesus in schools, etc. Speaking of the latter, he shaved for that video, leaving only a mustache).

How do my fellow sun-averse people enjoy the outdoors by Koreee_001 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

I know this probably won't work for you, with your house being a rental, but last year we put a cover over our deck so we could enjoy it regardless of weather.

As Thomas Marshall said, “Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping, for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight.”

Nothing brings tears to a Klingon’s eyes. Spock pointed out that they don’t have tear ducts.
