I have had extremely good reasons why I was unable to vote since I’ve turned 18.
However, I finally registered to vote a few months ago, specifically to vote in this election.
I’m extremely nervous and don’t really know what to expect once I’m in my polling place, but I’ll be damned if I don’t do my part to prevent my country from becoming a fascist dictatorship with a man willing to throw its citizens into the grinder if it meant he gets a dollar out of it. Fuck that.
Yeah. He “accidentally” sexually assaulted a 19-year old under the guise of “cleansing”/“annointing with oil”. She did not know that his “”““technique””“” was not at all normal or sanctioned.
The outcome of the case unfortunately ended with “well, she technically consented, and clergy does not fall under the umbrella of professions who may be prosecuted for taking advantage of vulnerable people.”
We are now trying to change these laws for my state.
Abusers and grifters will twist any narrative to fit their personal wants and needs. Fiction will turn to fact. They will spread untruths to send a message, to tell a story.
Think critically. Always.
My old pastor(s) told this story as 100% fact to the entire congregation.
By the time of his trial, I was questioning everything he said.
We thank the great, valiant protectors for shielding us from the loathsome, horrible, dangerous hempseed. 🙏🙏🙏

Well, it’s true for me, at least!
Sometimes, I don’t even need to spin!
Cuz Charlie doesn’t need to put others down in order to look/feel good.
A few years ago, I invited a guy over and we ended up playing DDR on PS1. I had the window shades drawn because I live next to a road, have large windows, and I don’t want strangers seeing me flail around like an elephant seal having a seizure.
My mother dropped by unexpectedly and I opened the door, red, panting, and sweaty, with a strange man on my couch who was trying to look casual.
Tried to blurt out that it was a misunderstanding, but she side-eyed me and left quickly.
At least she always texts me before she drops by now? I’m ace, so, for me, it’s particularly mortifying.
Neat, huh? (:
A potentially hypothetical human is more valuable than a woman to these people.
Remember that.
She was having abdominal pains while pregnant and the doctor diagnosed her with strep throat.
They don’t give a shit about women.

THIS IS A GROUP EFFORT, PEOPLE!

My kid got a potato this year! I was so proud.
Again, impressed! I can respect a collector who enjoys what they accrue. My collection(s) are more SFW, but I can appreciate the artistry and dedication to the craft, for sure!
I’m frightened yet impressed that y’all can tell these kind of things. Respect.
Notice that he was threatening people who were the least likely to pose a threat to him / fight back.
Trans folk being a threat to women? HA!!!
Only to the dad.
It’s not a particularly fun story to tell or to hear.
I’ll keep the mood light and just say I’m just happy that I am able to vote now.
