Looks like the wonka episode

Vote. Not just in the presidential election, but in mid-term elections as well. If democrats don't take majority in House and Senate, republicans will continue to block progress.

Elon: Running Twitter into the ground Trump: He's doing a good job I guess Trump would know because he's the master of running businesses into the ground O_o

Vote. Trump doesn't give a fuck about the Palestinians. You're not helping them by not voting.

Weird is only a "weapon" if the person being called it treats it like one and for people like Trump(narcissist), being called weird is a trigger. I'm a weird person and most people who use the word are also weird. The point isn't to make weird a negative word, but to trigger Trump and his goon and throw off his stride. That's all it is.

Have you tried Zenni?

This man is a terrorist attacking America and so are his voters. They should be treated as such and put in jail.

Not just the first woman president, but the first female mixed race president and the first to snap back when attacked in a long time. Trump is scared. He just went from saying "you don't need to vote because we have plenty of votes" to "please vote so we can put an to end voting"

Edited to say first female mixed race since Obama was first mixed race

I may be 32, but I can throw in my own thoughts here. Stop paying attention to "societal norms". Societal norms are just there to control people. Do what you love. Watch cartoons and listen to whatever music you want to. You don't have to be an adult at all times. Take a break once in a while.

Honestly, we're basically just voting for Kamala when we vote for Biden.

And this right here is why nothing is getting done. Go vote and not just every 4 years, but in midterms too.

I am registered as an independent. I would like to vote third party eventually, but this is not the time and I think switching the candidate will backfire. We are playing with fire here. When it comes to voting between keeping a democracy or putting ourselves into a dictatorship, I'm voting for democracy. The people who are "protesting" by not voting or by voting third party this term are advocating for a Trump win. It's an attempt to divide the party in the same way that they did when Hillary was running. If Trump wins, democracy dies and genocide will be encouraged. Don't forget, he supported wiping out Gaza and encourages violence against other races, religions, political views, and LGBTQ+ people. He'll wipe out democracy and everything we've worked for over hundreds of years. All the protections put in place against poisoning the planet will be gone and climate change policies wiped out. This man plans to do so much damage.

I'll be honest. I'm scared of a loss here. I'm trans and with the amount of vitriol Trump and his followers spew, I feel like if I don't vote this way, I'm getting put in a dangerous situation, as are all LGBTQ+ people and many others. Please don't fuck around here. Don't make this about your pride. There is too much at risk here. Vote Biden and keep voting in mid-terms as well. We don't stand a chance otherwise.

Protesters, if you really want to make a change, run for congress. The only way to make real change is to put more decent critical thinking people in congress.

Hi, I'm Zeke. I'm 32 and last year I finally came to the conclusion that I am transmasc after years of being unhappy with who I was and how I looked. I've done so much research into it, but I'm still left with questions. First off, I should say that I have opted not to do HRT. HRT has too many health risks that I can't take due to heart related issues that run in my family. It's not worth that risk to me. So I'm trying a different route.

I've decided to go the route of surgery w/ changes to how I dress and how I get my hair cut. I've lost about 18.6lbs out of 25lbs to get my top surgery and so far it has been really good for me health wise and affirming wise. I'm so close to the first step and I can't wait for the positive effects especially since my bust size causes physical discomfort and shortness of breath so it's a two in one benefit. My questions for this one is "Does silicone gel work better than lotion for scars?" and "Are you comfortable being topless for swimming/beach visits?"

Now here's where I most uncomfortable because I've heard of people being negative about it, but I plan to get vocal surgery to deepen my voice. Here's where my questions come in. Has anyone else gotten this surgery? If so, what's it like and what were your experiences with recovery? How different has it made your voice?

I just wonder if others have chosen the surgical route. I don't have anyone or anywhere else to ask these questions so I figured I'd drop them here. Thank you for any answers!
