This was a great read. These dynamics are so prevalent.

Definitely for me the specific choice they made here does make me see in in a cynical light. I don’t know these people and mayybe there could have been some nuanced or respectful ways to keep the band going in some sense, I really don’t know, but this sure as shit doesn’t seem like that. Like damn, this really is how every single group of people acts when someone is a survivor, or when someone else is a rapist, huh? Just wow. Every single group of people, complete self interest and disregard. I can’t think about it in any other light. Similar kinds of situations have played out over and over again lately and I am so disheartened. I’m bracing myself for some awful comment to come out next. The whole thing is just queasy the more i learn about it.

This sucks.

Uhhhhhhhh yikes.

Fuck, really? Where can i learn more about that

It isn’t.

Breitbart? No, thank you.

These people need to redirect their followers’ attention and anger onto literally anything but real circumstances. I’m so tired, it keeps working.

Yep, I use it. I like it.

Thanks for posting this context. I’ve been wondering about this aspect of this event

A disabled and chronically ill writer, who goes by @broadwaybabyto on social media, views masking as community care, saying she wears a “mask to protect others and show solidarity with all disabled and vulnerable people.… Many of us have sacrificed four and a half years of our lives, going to great lengths to preserve whatever health we have left.… As more and more COVID restrictions were dropped, masks remained as the single best accessibility tool disabled people had.… Taking that away…tells us you want us dead.… You don’t want us in your world. And it hurts.”

This part.

I want to believe this will remove the plausibility deniability for at least some voters and tank his chances, but. I’ve believed that before.

Good is important too. I said ‘low end’ to differentiate from the $8 box of 15 tea bags that many places sell, but the cheapest discount brand where I typically shop has some quality issues I want to avoid (i.e. staleness, weird un-tea-like flavors, bags that get holes, etc.)

Damn! When I was younger loose leaf tea was only available at some pretty pricey stores. Glad to find out about this, thanks

Niceee.

Hot! I forgot about Twinnings. They are pretty good.

His body might be medium age but his values are from 1900. He’s old in a Victorian robber baron sense.

Green friend! Look at those patterns

Thanks. I’m generally a little skeptical of things like this, but I’m also skeptical of the materials used in pretty much everything these days, so. I’m currently on team nonstick because I moved and needed some pans under $10 that would make my food hot. So that was my main consideration. It definitely does sound like stainless is probably a better bet in the future though, if/when I ever get around to buying quality kitchen things.

Thank god, i thought I was going to have to reevaluate some things.
