Every cycle. Every fucking cycle. Before the primary: “We need someone ELECTABLE. Not someone good.” After the primary: “The time to have a problem with this racist, transphobic, corporate dick sucking bag of hateorade was BEFORE the primary. It’s your civic duty to vote for this blue piece of trash now!”
Cuomo would have been on your list of Dems that pretend to be progressive if Mamdani had not stepped in. Trump’s endorsement of the false progressive should tell you all you need to know about that crowd.
We’re not even at the primaries and here you are with the “yeah, he’s transphobic and would murder unsheltered people for spot if no one was looking, but YOU MUST VOTE NEWSOM IF YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN.
Fuck Newsom and fuck the “blue no matter who” crowd that shits on actual progress.
I’d been boycotting Home Depot because of their trump support, but Lowe’s was the alternative. There are some tiny little Ace Hardware stores, but they never have what I need and offer to order it with a week or so of lag time. Amazon is faster, but also, fuck Amazon.
I am the same, but it can be problematic. I was at a wedding recently and drunkenly stumbled into a group of (white) people having a conversation about gun rights and how if they killed someone in self defense and there was a single person of color (not the word they used) on the jury they would be found guilty of murder.
I innocently assumed they were normal folks who were just a bit confused and began trying to enlighten them. It was not received well.
“Oh my love, I love you much * scoop * here are some kisses. Let’s not play with cords. Cords are not safe. Oh look here are some spring toys!” * plays with spring toys like they are my favorite thing *
For the younglings, you might not like it, but this is what peak internet looked like:
In more progressive circles I hear “all gender” being used, to be more inclusive. All gender square dancing, for an example in my neighborhood. All gender restrooms as well.
Mixed might be confusing as to what is mixed, and yes, it could mean race, but only if you are talking about people. No one is assuming in 2025 that the toilets are segregated by race.
“Mixed football “ might mean we are also going to play ultimate frisbee, at the same time, somehow.
But does it have electrolytes??
Because historically educational opportunities were divided by gender? I think the stranger part is that the word evolved to mean mixed gender in any situation where it’s not expected, like the co-ed decon chamber (or locker room or football team) Don’t know how much education was going on in there.
Oh, sorry. I’m the dumb American who thinks everyone is from the US. I have no idea what the standard is in Canada.
Much as I love a crushed velvet onesie, it didn’t seem very Vulcan.
I’m curious what state this is in.

Stage 1: General developmental screening during well-child checkups
Every child should receive well-child checkups with a pediatrician or an early childhood health care provider. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children receive screening for developmental delays at their 9-, 18-, and 24- or 30-month well-child visits, with specific autism screenings at the 18- and 24-month well-child visits. A child may receive additional screenings if they have an increased likelihood of developing ASD or developmental problems.
Children are routinely screened for autism at their well-child visits at 18 and 24 months these days, it’s not dependent on parental observation.
It’s the eyeballs that made it a no for me.
“Have a racist lady with more publicity than sense screech at you about deportation.”
I watched that movie hundreds of times as a kid. Always FF past Chilly Down. Nope.
Before the primary, we have choices.
Oh. I just noticed who I was arguing with. Fuck off palespirit. You’re the worst kind of troll.
