So It’s been quite awhile since I’ve been on here. Looking back on my last posts here I would say that the elections pretty much killed me. And since it looks like several of you are still around in some capacity I figured I would give an update in case anyone was curious.
I got a job working for a company that develops the firmware and hardware that controls the painting tools on the trucks that paint the roads all over the US. I loved it. Worked there from September 2017 to August 2018. Before that though I ended up having to go off my ADHD meds. I lost my job probably as a direct result of that. At least in part. Though other factors played a substantial role.
Currently my family and I are living at a family friend’s place. (possibly my future (step)father in law’s place.) Anyway, we’re out of unemployment. Still haven’t found a job. Back on TANF. Reducing everything we own by degrees. I did manage to get a 2008 Prius when I had that job though. Wonderful little car. Son is doing Amazingly well in school. They want to put him in the TAG program, they support him with his ADHD needs and he hasn’t gotten into a single fight or had a single ,eltdown in like, 2 years.
I wasn’t sure of my log in information for this account so I got a new one. ADHDChipmunk if anyone cares to take a peek at that. I’ve gotten very big on ADHD and politics.
Started taking a new ADHD med. Strattera, and I’m on an anti-anxiety med now too. It’s been helping a little and I’m really hopeful that when I get a higher dose that I’ll be doing much better. Turns out my anxiety issues are probably a lot more severe than I realized.
Anyway, I’m glad I figured this thing out and was able to come back. Looking forward to seeing how everyone’s doing!
It is hard to find a single white demographic that did not come up with a Trump majority (white college graduated women some up with a 51% for Hillary, a small margin indeed) and there is not a single non-white demographic that came up with a Trump majority or came anywhere near it.
I encourage you to look through those exit poll results for yourself. CNN has extensive and well-researched exit polls and the difference in the numbers is far too big to be explained away by a margin of error.
Statistically the strongest defining feature of the Trump supporter is whiteness.
Does this mean the majority of white people actively hate people of color and voted for Trump because they wanted a racist in charge? No. That’s not how white supremacy works.
What it does mean it that, as a result of white supremacy, a LOT of white people who consider themselves ‘not racist’, ignored Trump’s racism and voted for him anyway. A lot of white people did not care about people of color enough to not vote for Trump.
That’s white surpemacy’s biggest feature: apathy to the point of allowing people to die because you can’t be bothered to keep them safe.
That point in a piece of fanfiction where you can tell something embarrassing is about to happen so you start fucking around on tumblr because you’re a huge baby with a crippling overabudance of empathy.
I do this with every media I consume. I pause movies and have to walk around and prepare myself for second-hand embarrassment sometimes.
This is mE
Secondhand embarrassment. I’ve got it.
I sometimes mute movies or tv shows to avoid it. Especially if I know it’s coming.
I TOTALLY DO THIS.
I can’t handle “stupid” comedy because of this. \@__@/
alright i wanna talk about nazis and oregon for a moment. Oregon was known as the ‘ white utopia’ for a while there. the history of hate runs deep in oregon. the government in the 60′s was made of of mainly KKK members and prob nazis
oregon had something called the Black Exclusion Law in the 1800′s oregon is just as and in some ways more racist than the south.
a black woman walking her dog im ashland oregon, one of the most liberal hippy towns in oregon was told and i quote:
‘It’s still an Oregon law, I could kill a black person and be out of jail in a day and a half. Look it up, The KKK is alive and well here.’
American redguard has put up flyers and now we have neo nazi groups doing the same this.
not bringing attention to this dark underbelly of one of the most ‘blue, liberal’ states is letting them win.
this needs to be talked about this needs to be addressed and oregon needs to do something to step up their game or shits gonna go bad fast.
they show pictures of tearing down pro feminism flyer, posting their flyers on protesting signs
they have targeted a local theatre known as the oregon cabaret with the tweet saying :
your lights went out. Where is your safe space? What about the gaslight project? #Ghostlightproject
they are calling out antifa and activists in the area
this is real
this is scary
and it needs to be known
alright folks here we go again!!!!
same town that the nazi (cascadian national resistance) group is back at it again
only this time it is this
that is right folks. a nazi truck parked downtown main street. this is a high traffic area. its a theatre town with a international known theatre and shakespearean festival. so TONS of out of towners coming in to see shows. they fucking see this!
SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE NAZI ISSUE IN SOUTHERN OREGON. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. THIS IS REAL. THEY HAVE THREATEN BUSINESS AND NOW THIS. PLEASE.
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented”
The administration’s claims about crowd size at the inauguration are a pure distraction. In the past 24 hours, Trump signed executive orders aimed at the ACA and installing his cabinet, deleted the pages related to LGBT rights, national AIDS policy, and climate change from the white house website, and all foreign ambassadors have been fired. Throwing up obvious lies about numbers and yelling at the press is just an attempt to make people focus on those lies instead of the real things they are currently doing.
Folks, this is a pattern. This is what he *does*. It’s his Thing. Whenever he starts up something particularly outrageous on social media, look for the legal/political shenanigans for which he’s using the social media circus as a cover.
If you feel he is altering the news - and he is - go global, get your news from international sites - The Guardian (uk) the BBC (uk) Al Jazeera, Reuters all of them have nothing to lose by going hard for him, so they do
The Guardian is running with the gag order, and leaving the transpacific partnership
The BBC is listing everything he’s doing by executive order
Reuters is talking about the lawsuit about conflicts of interest
and Al Jazeera is go with how the pope thinks he’s like Hitler
if you can’t trust the news in your own country - go international - they don’t have the same pressures and are just as accessible on the internet
^ THIS RIGHT HERE
International nations are usually more informed than Americans because Americans made it that way
