^ Sometimes I find myself falling into melancholy thoughts. My brain is working all the time.<\/p>\n
YOU’RE GOING TO ROOT AROUND IN THE GARBAGE, THEN QUESTION THE WAY THAT I LIVE? Who the fuck cares what I buy, and what I do with it?<\/p>\n
I recycle.
\nI’m trying to compost.
\nI would really like to have my own worm farm.<\/p>\n
DON’T TRY TO USE MY STORY TO EXCUSE YOUR ACTIONS. As in “Welp, sometimes you find juicy stuff in the garbage” – nope. Just, don’t do it.<\/p>\n
And really bro, you’re pretty close to crossing a line.<\/p>\n
Wherever your interests lie — freespeech lets you basically live any way that you want. You can tell people who you are. There will be other people like you. You can make friends with a whole new community of people, even if they’re just online.<\/p>\n
You don’t have to dismantle the whole entire country to live the way you want.<\/p>\n
You can find a place — unless you’re about molesting children; forcing people to marry or stay married when they don’t want it; murdering people; cheering for murder; or a rapist\/rape apologist. Because if you are for *those* things — there’s some fights you’re just not going to win.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I guess we all got complacent.<\/p>\n
We drank the Kool-Aid and here we are.<\/p>\n
Now what?<\/p>\n
*<\/p>\n
Even realizing that #December19 is a long-shot, I can’t help hoping.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s because the only people saying it’s 100% impossible are the ones that don’t want things to be changed.<\/p>\n
And all I can think is: Why the heck would you want things to be like this?<\/p>\n
Putting aside the fact that Hillary was offering so many opportunities and breaks for the poor. That she was coming up with protections for the environment. — That with her programs in place, we could all turn our attention to the issues that are falling through the cracks (adult literacy, hospital reforms, children’s issues, the state of schools in this country, medical care for all citizens).<\/p>\n
The things that Trump is already doing …<\/p>\n
The talk of our election being manipulated …<\/p>\n
I can’t help hoping for a Hail Mary Pass.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
