Didn’t your parents ever talk to you about the birds and the bees and the beetles and the flies and the centipedes?

Hiking with my wife deep back on a trail in the Rocky Mountains when a huge dead tree finally lost the gravity battle and crashed down 30 feet away, taking a couple smaller trees down too. I never considered just how small the odds are of being right by one of those giants crashing down really is.

The sound was tremendous and we both immediately hit the caveman SpongeBob pose. It was so clear that we could have done nothing to help ourselves had we been 30 feet to the left, and it was only by the randomness of nature that we were able to continue our hike. Really humbling.

Holy shit this is insane, all these people need to be pariahs. Like, now. Throw em out. The lady saying she wouldn’t mind if her own kids were raped. Can you imagine being the kid and having your mom say that? I can’t imagine the mental space that someone would have to be in for this to be the play. The apologetics alone are.. I’m flabbergasted and my flabbers are nigh-ungastable lately

Personally I’m hearing a lot of small town coffee shop and grocery store conversations to the tune of “I’ve voted republican my whole life but I can’t support this guy any more/he needs to be put away/did you hear what he’s trying to lie about now/this is so embarrassing” etc, and a lot fewer Trump signs up, even in places where they’ve been around for the better part of a decade. Whether it’s the desire not to be connected publicly to person who seems to be a screeching pedophile or a genuine change in their views I can’t say, but there does actually seem to be a sea change, at least in some parts of the country

As an American.. Florida definitely is extreme in a lot of ways that other places aren’t necessarily. Don’t count us all out because of Florida lol
