Look, I'll be honest, I'm as confused about what goes on around here as you are.

“If voting did anything they would outlaw it.” Is such an insane take to me, because literally all of human politics for recorded history has centered around Outlawing the Vote.

[beezelbubbles]

Big tiem agreed. The problem is due to loss of ciritical thinking skills, people don't understand that "outlawing voting" doesn't come with a big announcement of "voting is now illegal" delivered by a mustache twirling villain on tv and now nobody at all can vote.

Outlawing voting looks like th SAVE act requiring the name on your ID to match your birth certificate making it illegal for millions of married people (primarily women, but this would have affected my former husband) and trans people to vote.

Outlawing voting looks like increasing restrictions on mail-in ballots, making it illegal for millions of disabled people and people without access to voting locations to vote. It looks like voting locations being hosted in buildings that don't have to comply with ADA. It looks like closing polling places so that high population areas don't have the capacity to get everyone through in a timely manner. It looks like requiring state ID and then restricting the number of available places to get that ID and making it expensive, because that technically isn't a poll tax.

It looks like absurd redistricting. It looks like "accidentally" purging active voters from the voting rolls a few days before the election. It looks like piling as many restrictions onto voter registration as they can.

Outlawing voting looks like voter suppression. But it really is the same damned thing.

The eye doctor is the most fun doctor you can go to. They never steal your blood. They never make you get naked and put on a paper dress. They're just like, "Can you see these letters? It's fine if you can't, we can fix that." And they don't even spell anything.

before pride month ends does anyone wanna admit they have a crush on me

posting this on the first day of june so you all have plenty of time to gather your nerves and whatnot

In 38 years of life I have learned 1 thing;

If anyone is ever training you to replace them in a position and tells you 'its an easy job I don't do much' what this means is that you are about to spend six months to a year catching up on all the stuff they didn't do and sorting out the stuff they did poorly.

In related news I finally managed to finish un fucking my predecessor's lack of a filing system.

[beezelbubbles]

This is absolutely a thing, and we had someone quit unexpectedly and then we found out she hadn't been doing her job at all for 6 months.

My problem is that I don't really think about all the stuff I do, or how much time I spend on it. So like yeah I do have days where I think I did one thing but that one thing was 5 different tasks in a trenchcoat and I spent 4 hours on it. (The other four were being on desk duty, answering emails, answering random questions from people who should know the answer, and training students.)

Fanfiction is cool because you get to learn what other people's parents taught them the hymen is like

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

[drarry]

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones
