I have a print of this on wood. My mom got it from her mom. We’ve had it my whole life. I’ve moved 22 times. I’ve lost almost everything I’ve ever owned at least twice. Very few possessions make it through that many moves. But we’ve kept this picture the whole time. It always hangs in the kitchen, except for this time around when it hands above my bed in the living room.

The only other things we own that we’ve had even close to as long are a painting of Snoopy I pulled out of someone’s curbside trash, a red table we got off the side of the road, and some antique pottery and glassware of grandparents that hasn’t been unboxed since the 90s.

Edit to add, view from my bed:

Ignore the dust/cobwebs. I do not dust like I should.

On top of that, if it’s a remote job and they’re not all congregated in one room, harder to have a Jan. 6 type moment. Better for national security.

Jesus Christ, I’d honestly forgotten about the uncap the house movement, but it reminds me of all the shit we’re missing out on. We’d be a different country. Imagine knowing your congressperson personally? Seeing them at the grocery store. Being able to to speak to them. Hell, imagine from their point of view, being able to run for election and only having to worry about 30k voters/constituents, and tailoring campaigns to the areas you represent. Id they did it, I’d run, even in my conservative ass area, because at that point you can appeal to voters based on the things that actually plague their communities, instead of bullshit scare tactics and nationwide/statewide issues. I’m surrounded by MAGA morons, but in campaigns that small, you could win this area with a campaign based on legal weed, road construction and a push to make sure the factories around here can stay in business.

I’ve watched that one. Tale of the Goose Gobler was seriously compelling

1980 all over again

I’m gay, in a county where most of the play is deeply closeted guys who can’t host and want a blowjob in the woods. You kneel on a pinecone a few times, you find yourself investing in kneepads. Lol

I keep a pair of these in my car for dates

Pre code movies are amazing. My mom watches a ton of them on YouTube, and I’ll watch a lot of the time, too. They’re genuinely hilarious to watch a lot of the time, because they showcase just how much hasn’t changed. You feel like, because of media, we practically invented a lot of stuff in the last generation or two, only to watch Mae west talk about mirrors on her ceiling or Marlene Dietrich dress in dress.

Your spirit was willing but your flesh was spongy and bruised, I take it

Oh! As in, should you be an outside observer, and grabbing the whole planet, you’d be able to feel houses on its surface if it were the size of a golf ball?

Presumably you’d feel like crushing under your fingers like the hairs on a kiwi lol

uncap the house… make congressperson a remote job, keep them in their districts.

I can’t say that’s my ideal solution (as it doesn’t involve completely rewriting our constitution), but that’s honestly the best solution we have to most of our problems. Completely uncap, remote congress, 1 per 30k. At that point, we’d be pretty close to a real democracy. There’s no reason why it couldn’t be a remote job. Stay in your fucking district where we can yell at you when you fuck up. In fact, there should be a law about how many days per year they can be out of their district. Live with, work with, know the people you represent. And with that many congressional reps, it’d be hard as hell to bribe enough of them.

I’m sure there’s some actual science thing they’re referencing here, but I don’t understand it. Who can’t feel houses?

May you be constantly thirsty, but well hydrated all day.

Death by snu snu?

you do not matter

You have no idea how much I needed to hear that right now

Government so small it fits not only within your bedroom, but within your uterus!

Should I Google otherkin? I don’t mind learning about other people’s kinks, but I recently saw the pictures of the dude who finished in a shoe box every time, and now I’m more careful with what I search all willy nilly.

I had one! My dad got it at a flea market, and all my friends thought we were rich. Lmao

Desperately need them to get letterboxed, spelling bee and strands on there, too. I play every night, and it just feels wrong not being able to play right now

Was gonna say. Standing up for folks, yelling at the same empty room he’s been yelling at for 40 years. Dude is nothing if not consistent. If anything Bernie has moved to the right in the last 4 decades, and he’s still the left most politician we have

No, there’s always genocide and extinction.
