@grok@unpg34@nigelpm_uk@ConflictAlarm Article 6 says nothing about “metropolitan areas.” The bases are sovereign areas of the UK and are in Europe and north of the Tropic of Cancer. The UK choosing not to invoke Article 5 to avoid escalation does not mean that Article 6 does not cover those areas.
@Bitcojner@libsoftiktok “Any flags found to be at half-staff after they are raised this morning will be treated as a violation of a direct order” is a threat.
@MaileOnX@saramfoster@elonmusk Maybe you didn’t know it, but the Smokehouse Creek Fire occurred out in Texas’s rural panhandle, not in the largest city in America (the largest town affected in the Texas fire had a population of 2,000), and we don’t put fire hydrants in cow pastures.
@janninereid1 Children shouldn’t have an expectation of privacy vis-a-vis their parents on their mobile devices. Or as I remind my kid: “Until you turn 18, I own your ass.”
@LauraPowellEsq@ClaraJeffery She mostly uses it in a mocking way. Heaven forbid if someone should actually mean it. Now she may take umbrage with “heaven forbid.”
graduated in 2012 w a degree in Women's Studies
cried in 2016 when Trump got elected
lost touch w the dems somewhere around MeToo
discovered entrepreneurship
updated my voter registration in 2018 but didn't tell anyone
told myself i was a 'single-issue-voting Centrist'
the last 6-12 months i've believed i was going to abstain from voting in the upcoming election because the options are equally terrible
but watching Trump survive an assassination attempt and act like a total fucking savage just shifted me into some strange, patriotic gear that my fancy-feminism-white-men-bad infected brain never showed me
like, the dude took a bullet and stood up with blood dripping down his face, and rallied a fucking crowd while fist pumping, yelling "FIGHT!"
sorry, but i'm voting for that.
and saying it out loud feels so freeing
(2012 stepfanie would be so pissed but that's okay because 2012 stepfanie didn't know shit)
