Last Notes npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York Don't forget to include Marco Rubio on the list. I just laughed when I heard he was in the final three. It was like "So it's between Burgum and Vance, so it'll be Vance because Doug Burgum sounds like a lame name." This is why multiple choice tests are so easy. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York Yeah, there are some good messages like don't look down on people who aren't as fortunate as you, which Emma definitely needed to learn, but it definitely reinforces the "stay in the sphere you're born to" message common at the time. I can't re-read it because her dad is kind of a manipulative narcissist with his "invalid" status, and it bothered me so much last time I just had to stop. Which is a worse reaction than to Sense & Sensibility, which I have to moderate because Lucy Steele. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York Oops I was guessing which WAS a proper word. At least I was right that it was? npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York I am also endowed with vast tracts of land, and I’ve struggled with bra fitting for decades. I don’t necessarily find underwire uncomfortable, but it took me decades to find the style and brands that fit and don’t end up stabbing me under the arm and/or poking out in the middle of my chest. But then I found a brand that’s not underwire but still supportive and I don’t know why I would ever go back. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York I don’t know that it will be the foundation for charging more parents of teenage mass shooters. Partly because many come from homes that are not as stable. (Not that the Crumbleys were fully stable, but at least together.) And their parents are usually not quite so adamant at refusing to believe their kid could do something like that. Or the child has killed at least one of them first. Off to be more depressed. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York (Even some of the complaints on the left, but there are more legit complaints there imo.) npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York The idea he is the successful head of a crime family? A lie. The idea he is a doddering old fool? Also a lie. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York So they are susceptible to a combination of ego flattery (Yes, you're the successful ones because you work hard) and blame-shifting (But it could be even better if we didn't have these migrants and the like) to keep them from making the changes that would improve their lot even more. A lot of what they're angry at Biden for are outright lies. The "open border" is a lie. The idea that Biden wants to take your guns, or your burgers, or your money? All a lie. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York They have bought into the Gospel of Prosperity, that if you have wealth it's because you deserve it and if you're poor, you deserve that too. It's helped a lot by the sort of unconscious racism that runs throughout much of America. They have never had to confront their biases, because they don't interact with minorities much. They don't get their world view challenged much. So they are less comfortable with changing their opinions on something. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York I'll be honest I don't interact with a lot of rural people, but I know that they are not all Republicans and don't all hate Biden. The people I interact with most are suburbanites who think they got everything they have through hard work, rather than the ability to build generational wealth and benefits like the GI Bill that kicked off their grandparents' transition to knowledge work. They don't see a lot of diversity, and they associate it with crime. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York Except Biden has forgiven tons of student loan debt, improved green energy availability, gone after monopolies, and a bunch more stuff. It’s not the dems that are stopping progress. Even Biden, who in other countries would be considered on the right, is pushing for better conditions for Americans, even against corporate interests. But none of this is easy to reduce to fit on a hat. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York I almost went for Last Crusade but instead picked Jurassic Park because it doesn’t have a long back-story. :) npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York Huh. Not having kids, I’m clearly not in touch with the yoots. :) npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York I agree the curriculum needs to be updated, but are many schools even in session still? (At least in places not like Utah with it’s awful “year-round” system.) npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York So companies feel they hit the price raises that people will stomach and have to dial it back, huh? npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York This caused some FEELS because I have a deep love of Beethoven. But. The author is not wrong. How many other composers do we not even know because their works were destroyed or overlooked because they are from women or non-European cultures? It’s a sad thought but also makes me want to do more to make sure non-white, non-male voices are heard in all contexts, but especially music. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York One tool I’ve found that helps is hiding boosts from accounts that frequently boost political stuff, especially stuff my filters don’t catch. Often, it seems those accounts don’t tend to post their own thoughts on political issues as much as boost the thoughts of others. When I find I’m seeing too much politics, I’ll go through a round of boost-hiding, and it helps a lot. npub1ptxzpxjzzntvryf48vhs6yjeaguuy28ef05jxzkytgp2cp06aepszd5cmq Queen of New York I wouldn’t mind keeping up if the stories felt different and took more story-telling risks. The sameness and lack of depth got super boring. Even if the quality fluctuated or the stories didn’t always land for me, it would have been better than the surface-level stories that never got deeper than “look at our snarky action heroes.”
