@goodmanw I threw a party in 2016 and it was cursed from the start. The weather was bad, people canceled, I made a TON of food and ended the night sitting on the floor alone, crying. I don’t think I can ever have another election night party.

@Andrew1Whyte @Farmer_L2 @OldWillieBoy @twocitizenships Have you never encountered a social norm before?

[Amanda @AmandaGaBaBa]

@ananavarro Ok I actually thought people were joking or exaggerating before I saw this. What is happening??

[Amanda @AmandaGaBaBa]

@n_simplex @economeager Homemaking is also a lot of work! She doesn’t want to work for a salary but is ok with being pregnant, having two kids, and managing a household that has a farm? That’s like three times as much work as a day job!

@keithdorejel I have an EKG scheduled for the day after and I’m wondering what I was thinking

[Amanda @AmandaGaBaBa]

@Richard_Vixen It’s not even that LONG ago - we should all know better! My grandmother got married in the 50s, had 3 kids, and worked as a waitress. My great grandmother worked incredibly hard on the farm.

@hankgreen I do think the voter is barely touching the actual correct part of the screen for Trump. It’s probably a calibration issue but the user could be doing better.

@why_sophie_why I just visited family in Ohio and the TV and radio ads were BONKERS. Like, no wonder republicans believe insane things, if that’s what they’re hearing

@DrCJohns If you come to my house on Halloween you get candy. Or some other treat if I have alternatives. Parents, kids, any age group, dogs.

@mobydickenergy I lived in upstate NY for several years and our state representative at one point carried around a fetus in a jar. I moved to Texas because my mental health couldn’t handle the weather anymore.

@raskal_cal @strallweat @TheWapplehouse If I were a brain-poisoned MAGA fanatic I probably would look for a blue area to target for my terrorism, yes. (Am not, will not, etc)

@neeratanden She’s the VP and it’s the week before the election and she’s supposed to fly to Austin and spend three hours talking to him? I am sure she’s got some other stuff planned!

[Paulie Doyle @BigPaulieDoyle]

The popularity of these 'pedophile hunter' videos is related to rising fascist politics: 'concerned citizens' cast aside due process in order to make 'justice' an extrajudicial, violent public spectacle

🧵 CNN just removed a far-right panelist for a racist remark against progressive commentator @mehdirhasan.

This was the right decision. But as a former TV booker, what happened is part of a much bigger problem...

@PhillipBrandon @sewistwrites I had to show this to someone recently because she was too young to have experienced it 😭😭

[Amanda @AmandaGaBaBa]

@esjesjesj Has he done something to his face or is he just gurning?

[Amanda @AmandaGaBaBa]

@amyisquitebusy @VeryBadLlama Mine’s a toenail but I think it qualifies. (Marathon training, wet trail run, then got stepped on while wearing sandals as Xena for Halloween.)
