After three years on this site, I've re-branded my account! I'm too used to being Stacy to give that up, but I thought it was time for a change. #NewProfilePic
@damintoell I still lurk! My brain has been a bit full of baby stuff to come up with a lot of Culture War Takes these days but I definitely think about a retvrn to posting!
@SoWhatElsa@nonblankslate I'm still checking the app but the reason I haven't been tweeting is I literally just had a baby less than 3 weeks ago! I barely have a free hand to tweet right now. Maybe once I start getting some sleep again (if that ever happens) I'll have some more culture war takes to offer!
Something very fascinating about the way that liberals think white women are hopelessly conservative and conservatives think white women are hopelessly liberal, why does the white woman loom so large in our psyches? I have many thoughts….
@SwannMarcus89 One of my favorite examples of this was the pro-Hamas letter from the president of the NYU Law Student Bar Association that started with "Hi y'all"
@RtrnSanity@wasphyxiation Right, there's sort of a mood of "even if this doesn't work, we may as well have fun with it." Which is honestly way more compelling than yelling at everyone about fascism or whatever lol
Biden is already perceived as too left-wing and all polling on the issue supports this. The problem is that the Democratic Party (despite endless progressive whining) doesn't understand politics anymore because they try to cater to online progs too much

Polis & Shapiro are clearly the 2 best Dem guvs. Smart, principled, competent, effective.
Sadly, our partisan primaries prefer geriatrics, identity-merchants, panderers, & other assorted fools. What a huge disservice to sensible general election voters & the country as a whole.
So Biden is trailing in polls where Dem senate candidates are winning easily (indicating the polls don't have a bad sample) and the strategy is to run on left-populist ideas like national rent control to try and appeal to socialists who don't care about policy in the first place
Every so often I remember this wholesome Centrist Dad who was briefly in the discourse like 6 months ago. Looking at everything that's happened since then and the current state of the election, all I can say is that he 👏 deserved 👏 better 👏.
