@ashmueli @charlotteclymer Do I require a stake to oppose genocide? If so, then my stake is my shared humanity with the civilians and children being slaughtered.
They just made me sign three contracts... before they'd let me read them.
They made another old man wait an hour and a half just to figure out that his appointment was in another location. This place is like a masterclass on how not to run a doctor's office.
They made a lady wait over an hour, called her up, and then made her sit back down when they just then realized she doesn't speak English.
Must be nice being a doctor. Even if you're complete shit at your job and can't run an office to save your life, you'll still be booked up with customers no matter what.
Arrived at a specialist doctors appointment and their waiting room looks like a DMV. This does not bode well...

“It’s no surprise that Republicans are refusing to make it easier for women to prevent unintended pregnancies, at the same time as they are making it harder for women to end unintended pregnancies. It is proof that the right-wing opposition to abortion is not about saving lives or protecting women. It’s all about making women’s lives smaller and making all of us less free.”

Local DA candidate left a list of "law enforcement endorsements" on my door. Almost all were retired cops, sheriff's deputies and prison guards. None of them sounded like they were POC.
Friends, I ran out to vote for that dude's opponent so fast that I may have forgotten to lock the door.
@Nonilex Correct. True threats are reprehensible and punishable by law.
@Nonilex "Not all speech is free" but hate speech, including antisemitism and islamophobia, are protected.
@gulovsen Strongly disagree. "Technology democratizing" is why people can self-publish albums and books and games and have their words read and their ideas heard on the other side of the world.
That all used to be limited to who rich dudes like newspaper barons chose to grant the privilege.
@lukeharby @brad_frost It's also written on the tires themselves, which is where I went to look for it for years.
@ashmueli @charlotteclymer If you believe that opposing the violence being perpetrated by the state of Israel is opposing all Jewish people, then you're the one invoking the antisemitic tropes here. It's like calling someone an Islamophobe because they oppose violent jihadists. The extreme minority is not equal to the whole.
Believe it or not, some of us are capable of opposing the actions of a few bloodthirsty fascists who happen to be Jewish without holding it against the rest of the Jewish folks across the world.

Just in case you didn't realize it before - there are 3 major religions in this world that all follow the same God but have different interpretations of wtf happened after they split from the original texts. Their God didn't change, they just did.
The first one decided that they're right, and no other prophets came along after their prophets.
The second one said, "we accept most of your religion but this guy showed up and he's the son of God"
The third one said, "Look, we're all brothers, that guy was cool but he wasn't the son of God. We have a new prophet and we got an updated rulebook from God and we're gonna follow that."
Now all 3 of them (plus the 4 versions of the first one, the 6 versions of the second one and 7 versions of the 3rd one) all argue about who's right - and have spent centuries letting political leaders use their faith to inspire each other to kill one another for their faith.
And there is no end in sight for this bullshit.
@kristinHenry @Daojoan Wouldn't that be a tad redundant?
Oh my god people on mastodon have the dorkiest Halloween costumes.
@ashmueli @charlotteclymer Or maybe people "woke up to the well poisoning" when they saw the state backing up truckloads of cyanide to the edge of the reservoir.
@Scooperman @charlotteclymer Or it just means they can't change the past but they can try to change the future.
@Scooperman @charlotteclymer I don't understand the question.
