I am stinky and angry, and proud

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@raclage @MoiraDonegan I just read it and I think Moira's criticism makes sense.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@whstancil Friendly reminder: the mob of haters in your mentions are not "the entire online left."

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@YyrwweGrinder Nobody said "your lived experience is wrong." He's said "your lived experience doesn't necessarily represent national trends."

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@RobertMWright @PhilipRucker @washingtonpost Statistically it does though. Facts don't care about your feelings.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@Oh_Llama1 Don't confuse online antics with real political movements.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@thedoomthatcame The question is why would they be doing that more than they did in the past? Did we all get more altruistic somehow?

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@whstancil @NassauGazette "until it breaks through"... I don't think that will be happening but I admit I find the effort entertaining.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

Did Will Stancil get cursed by a witch to eternally try explaining a basic, uncontroversial concept to people who too angry to hear it and only get angrier and more numerous? It's a terrible fate.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

There are good arguments to be made against Will but this sentiment ("how dare you say my lived experience is anecdotal") seems to be the driving force of most of the backlash against him. I couldn't blame the guy for being driven completely insane by it.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

What are we supposed to say? "You have access to the unbiased truth of the world and no one can challenge you to look beyond your day-to-day life and see a larger picture"? Among other things how are you supposed to get a middle-class majority to care about the less fortunate?

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

I don't think I've ever seen someone be so relentlessly, unpopularly *correct* for so long. He's made doubling down an endurance sport. I'd be impressed if it weren't so worrying.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@katiedimartin His replies show that he's an asshole but he didn't actually do anything wrong in this video. And it looks like his cat fared better being able to land on its feet, which wouldn't happen if it was in an enclosed carrier.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@tailhater @latkedelrey Eh. If your pet is comfortable in a basket, it shouldn't be a problem for them to ride there. Some pets are *only* comfortable in an open container where their person can see/touch them.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

I just listened to the @IfBooksPod episode about that book, so the context of "pay yourself first" is fresh in my mind.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@ericacbarnett Oh my god. That is too ridiculous.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@MatthewSitman That's so sweet, your mom has the right idea.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@Reductress Same but I want it to be this one

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@lurioosi @clhubes They'll presumably have learned as kids how to process their emotions, and do fine in that situation.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@jpbrammer I thought so too! It's so nice and rare that I find out something in history/reality isn't as bad as I thought. I will treasure this moment.

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

I called my local elected official about an issue and left a voicemail. Somebody please give me a prize

[regretfully pretty lady @walkoclock]

@RottenInDenmark Dropped my ballot off EARLY today. 💪 Excited to avoid my usual mad scramble on the afternoon of election day.
