Not American but - Freedom From Religion Foundation? Love their commercials featuring Ronald Reagan’s son.
“I’m Ron Reagan, unabashed atheist, not afraid of burning in hell.”
And if they succeed in cementing the Christian theocracy they can control them through religion. They only want freedom for themselves to subjugate everyone else.
Not trying to fight you but I think people should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Abortion isn’t a culture war it’s literally my life at risk as a woman.
The campaign was just not explicit enough and America is ill educated by design on the topic of reproduction.
And I’ve come to the realization that most people don’t want to grapple with horrific things until it happens to them and it’s too late. See the pandemic - all the people who were boasting on fb about not protecting themselves and not getting the vaccine until their families were posting about those same people being dead.
Well and like… all women were just confirmed to be second class citizens.
If we accept the premise that God doesn’t condone abortion care even in instances where women miscarry or the baby dies then surely dick pills aren’t natural either.
It seems to be that the popular vote in America is saying that women are whores who can die and everything men do gets a pass including sexual assault and cheating on their wives.
For my friends in America who did not want this or deserve this.
The ones who supported this can reap the karma that they gave sewn.
Bracing for impact in Canada.
Americans don’t realize we have our own lil JD primed and ready to take over here as well, funded and helped by Republican strategists and think tanks oh boy.
“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives any more.
They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”
You know what mega corporations say: “If I owe the government $1M that’s my problem. If I owe the government $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, that’s their problem.”
There are Israelis, people of Jewish descent (including Bernie Sanders) and practicing people of the Jewish faith who are vehemently against the genocide being perpetuated against innocent Palestinians.
Your advocating for the side of doing nothing is evil.
So get off your computer and do something about it instead of lording your morality over the rest of us here.
Get involved with an organization and go physically help in Gaza. Go volunteer your time for your local pro Palestine congressperson. I’ll wait.
Oh no but you’re sitting here pushing propaganda talking points, which you somehow believe is helpful but actually tacitly supports the literal Nazi candidate who calls people vermin. Because that’s the thing that is really helpful.
I bought this kit from Aliexpress. I’m not very picky about my needles, but I do have have the Chiaogoo red ones. I wanted a set to travel with and these seem good so far, which is kind of surprising.
Price $38.38 Canadian
3-8mm needles
Just in case anyone’s in the market for some needles.
Just ordered this one from Amazon and it’s good!
It doesn’t have the standing ability so if you’re looking for that wait longer. I’m just looking for something to protect it when I throw it in my purse.
It’s got a pen holder and magnetic wake/sleep.
Just finished this. Took about a month. The pattern is free!
Since it’s unisex I used a Caron cotton cake in DK I think and knit the small size. I followed the guidance on the label for needle size. It started as an experiment and ended as a happy accident.
Also, I modified by adding the panel in the hood and icord string.
Now the heatwave needs to end so I can wear it.
Canadian commentary:
I know it’s difficult with corporate greed and price gouging right now, I’m not debating that.
I’m worried that the food that people gravitate toward is unhealthy, ultra processed and cheaper on purpose. You need to buy MORE of this kind of food to stay full.
The US has, in my understanding, a lot of food deserts where healthier options are not available and people are pushed to eat empty calories.
The late-stage capitalist system wears people so thin that the effort to find and cook cheap healthy meals can be overwhelming if you don’t usually do this.
Portions in North America are HUGE.
There are ways to eat for cheaper but I understand that takes effort. For example, I order a $23 CDN all in produce box to my door of oddly shaped/sized produce that feeds two adults for a week. The largest box at $49 easily feeds a family of 4. It takes effort to find and locate services like this. Only available in big cities too.
I guess what I’m trying to say is it seems like the structure of society and capitalism makes the impact of corporate greed RE: groceries SO much worse.
Not to mention the wars, gas, and housing prices.
I know a lot of people are low information but since this issue in my perspective is aggravated and accelerated by so many factors, it still baffles me that people accept the solution is more Republican trickle down economics and tariffs which seem like they’re just going to make the problem worse for everyone.
