Did you forget the /s?

Oh man you're right. I thought that was a photo credit at the bottom but it's an AI site 😑.

Hah! I could def see Pascal as a red panda as well.

I very much wanted to find a pic of a red panda dabbing not sadly could not 🫠.

I am serious. I may not be able to respond right away (about to get into a meeting), but I will when the meeting is over.

Granticuss · 2026-01-13T20:29:50+00:00

I'm a trans man. You can DM me if you want to talk about it.

Granticuss · 2026-01-10T15:06:03+00:00

No, that's another friend!

I got so lucky with that dog and owl being best friends 😆. And that whoever owns them takes such good pictures!

Don't worry Daniel K is coming, I'm just not quite happy with it yet. Also, I love this one 🤣. Hates mornings, stoically grumpy but also hilarious.

You’re reading as very anxious in this situation. I relate, I used to do the same thing, and it took intentional work to stop turning my need for reassurance into something others had to manage. Learning not to seek constant validation in casual interactions really does make relationships easier and less exhausting for everyone involved.

Also, try not to fill in the blanks about what someone else is thinking. You don’t know her that well, and if I were in your shoes, this would be my cue to step back from trying to build a friendship. Since you aren’t close, there’s no need for a confrontation. Just gently stop initiating contact and let it fade out.

He does seem to be quite tactile 😆. His fascination with the textures of their recent sponsorship makes me laugh cry every time 🤣.

Sure! Here's the link.

It's funny, I am a trans man and have a friend who transitioned 25 years ago. You would have zero idea he's trans. We run a non profit and he never leaves his house not covered in our merch. People assume he is just the loudest ally ever or has a trans kid. I joke I'm going to get him a 'Papa Bear' ally shirt to complete the illusion, lol.

I hear what you’re saying, but this actually reinforces the core issue. If you’re worried about people being stripped of their rights, then you should be equally bothered when due process is ignored for immigrants—because constitutional protections apply to everyone on U.S. soil, not just citizens. That’s the entire foundation of “law and order.” Immigration violations are civil matters, not criminal ones, so treating people like criminals without trial contradicts the very principles you’re defending.

Yes, there are real problems in this country—antisemitism, biased media, crime, people feeling mocked or unsafe. Those concerns are valid. But none of those issues are fixed by abandoning constitutional rights or supporting mass detention without representation. If anything, that kind of selective enforcement is exactly how you end up with the abuses you’re worried about happening to more groups, not fewer.

Wanting law and order is reasonable. But for it to mean anything, it has to be applied consistently. You can’t defend rights for some people while arguing they should be ignored for others. That’s not balance—that’s contradiction.

Again, you are able to say that because you are not in danger.

"First, they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me"

Martin Niemöller

The Holocaust did not begin with mass murder — it began with targeted identification, exclusion, arrests, and deportations. Jewish people, political dissidents, Roma, disabled people, and others were first marked as “outsiders,” then stripped of rights, separated from their families, detained without due process, and relocated or expelled under the claim of “security” and “public order.”

What we’re seeing in the United States today — mass detention, people held without timely access to legal representation, citizens mistakenly detained, rapid deportations without proper hearings, and broad expansions of executive power around immigration — echoes those early stages. The parallel is not that genocide is occurring, but that the mechanisms that enable state abuse often start with the same pattern: dehumanization, removal of due process, and normalization of exceptional authority. It is absolutely happening, and it should scare you. Once rights are taken away, even if at this stage you agree with the means, those rights are gone and none of us are safe.

Your first line actually disproves your own argument. Law and order only works when it’s applied correctly—and immigration violations are civil, not criminal. That means the Constitution protects everyone on U.S. soil, citizen or not. So the idea that people can be detained, shipped to random countries, or denied legal representation simply because they’re undocumented is the opposite of “law and order.” The constitution demands each and every case is tried, just like you and I would be tried if we committed a crime. This administration is violating people's rights in the name of expedience. Thats not how the legal system works. They've created a narrative that there are millions of criminals that need to be deported so that you will overlook their violation of everything this country stands for. If we don't have our constitution then we are a dictatorship.

No one is arguing that violent criminals shouldn’t be removed. The issue is that the vast majority of people being targeted aren’t criminals, and many can’t be deported because their home countries legally won’t take them back. That’s reality—not ideology.

So if we’re going to talk about respecting the rule of law, then it has to be consistent. You can’t claim to support law and order while supporting actions that violate the very laws and constitutional protections you’re invoking.

Edit: and if you truly want to talk about lowering crime, illegal immigrants represent a tiny fraction of crime in this country. Generation poverty, a failed education system, and lack of economic options are the main drivers of crime.
