  • And where in my previous post did I call you stupid?

    You speak of mental health days in a derogatory way, as if you find the very idea that people should take care of their mental as well as physical health offensive, for reasons I don’t understand.

    I’m saying that your mocking statement about taking days off for such things should in fact be something we do, and something we should find acceptable to do.


  • I absolutely guarantee you one of those things is not like the others. Period pain can be truly debilitating, especially for a person with endometriosis. It is totally worth time off.

    Also, I find your insinuation that women take time off for ‘low mood’ and ‘being irritable’ frequently—as opposed to men—rather sexist and offensive, not to mention not reflective of reality.

    However, I do like how you inadvertently stumbled into the idea that we should all have more sick days and mental health should be included in the definition of ‘health’. Taking time off for a mental ‘breather’ should be normalized in our society. I also think higher-mental-stress jobs like 911 dispatcher should get more mental health off-time.






  • The line is usually ‘where the majority party in Congress thinks it is’. That’s why even though they got impeached, none of those presidents left; look at which party was in charge at the time.

    Make no mistake; the Republicans could have him out on his ass and facing criminal charges before you could blink if they wanted to. They don’t want to, because he’s doing exactly what they want him to do. 40-odd percent of Americans also think this is great.

    And so, yes, he could shoot someone in Times Square and totally get away with it.

    That’s the real problem. Trump and fascism are symptoms, not the cause. If the disease wasn’t there, like it wasn’t with Nixon (or at least, it was just starting to develop then), none of this would be an issue.










  • And over a third looked at his platform, shrugged, said ‘eh, who cares; I’m not going to bother to vote; not as if I’ll be impacted anyways.’

    They decided a criminal, Nazi-lover, and grifter isn’t that different from a PoC woman who at least wanted to run a sensible and functional government (even if some of her policies weren’t the best).

    Which means, since they didn’t think Trump was a problem, they were fine with this outcome. They don’t care that this happened.
