“Laine taped the last box shut. That was it, then: All of Gavin's belongings put away; some for charity, some for the dump, some to be saved for a happier 'one day' that Laine felt, right now, was as distant as the stars.”
― Stephen M. Irwin, The Dead Path
Suddenly hit me this evening exactly how stupid this fight about Dore's MFA proposal is. Why do we have to beg a bunch of progressives not to vote for a warmongering corporatist for speaker? This should be a given. Why aren't they even TRYING to challenge her? This is f*cked up.
ICYMI, what is fucked about this is less her bootlicking of a woman hating psychopath but her deeply disturbing bill that elevates an absolute fallacy that aborted fetuses survive the abortion process (and that women and doctors are murderous monsters) https://t.co/thnbfJNL8z
"Big Democratic donors back Nancy Pelosi and warn that funding will be cut in half if she's pushed out"
This is the only reason Nancy Pelosi remains Speaker of the House. She needs to go, M4A vote or not. @IlhanMN@RashidaTlaib@AOC@AyannaPressley@ProgressDems
@MathezarT @atheist_bad @theosib2@JustABlueCircl1 I don't have any data at hand to answer this question. HOWEVER
I've personally had an NDE. [while I was religious] I did not see any bright lights, angels, jesus, relatives etc. There's nothing about that experience I can look back on as remotely religious or spiritual.
I rarely leave the house, except for groceries and medicine. On a good day it's an ordeal. Today my car wouldn't start. When I was younger, that would be a mild inconvenience. After the struggle, got going to the pharmacy who informed me they couldn't fill my scrip etc.
