Sorry it's me again, the schoolboard stuff simply enrages me. A local library was defunded in the most recent election cycle and will shut down in a year over the inclusion of queer literature, and it's heinous to see it all purported as a just and Christian fight. My dad is a teacher at a local public school and he's falling hook line and sinker for all the 'they're taking God out of the classroom and giving kids litter boxes' and it's so Brain Numbing yo hear.

2023-12-16 16:50:01 +0000 UTCIt's wild that the lawyer wouldn't just send a paralegal to go through the torment nexus

2023-12-16 16:08:14 +0000 UTCThe speech about responsibility reminds me of Mankar Cameron at the end of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion making speeches about the coming destruction of the decadent empire and the septim bloodline

2023-11-30 11:52:02 +0000 UTCI know it was the absolute bare minimum for them to hire black actors for the underground railroad episode, but I am so glad they did, because it would have been even worse if they had not, especially given the show’svhistory of having white actors play other races

2023-10-19 21:45:28 +0000 UTCOh my God, being in a box that gets turned upside down and falls off a vehicle is literally an old Berenstain Bear book. Inside, Outside, Upside Down.

2023-10-19 15:33:25 +0000 UTCAmerica came up with our great private insurance system in part because the government didn't want to pay for the health care of black people and other minorities. Now conservatives are saying we can't have public schools anymore because trans people exist.

2023-10-18 19:39:01 +0000 UTCLMAO I used to live near Redding, my brother went to Enterprise High! Never heard about the kid falling through the skylight, but it totally tracks Shasta County would have two incidents of that in the same year.
