  • The idea that someone just stumbles their way in to a presidency is wild. It’s also ableist to blame his bigotry and oppressive actions on how intelligent you think he is, that has nothing to do with it.

    So I’ll reiterate - the fact that anyone can still think that what’s happening is accidental or not thought out is frankly more than concerning, it’s scary.

    These people are following a playbook, they’ve got their own playbook for fucks sake, and they will do as much damage as they fucking can deliberately and with forethought. Pretending otherwise because it’s easier to punch down and dismiss him as “dumb” than to confront the reality of things and punch up at a much bigger and scarier target is counterproductive.









  • I somehow managed to get through to a radio show that was having a giveaway, and answered their question correctly. I won tickets to a concert, and a load of their sponsor’s merch. I was still young, but even then I knew my luck was shit, so I was really excited even though I didn’t like the band I was going to see lol

    Didn’t matter.

    The tickets arrived the day after the concert had happened, and the merch was all either factory seconds or used (so all slightly damaged in some way - a stain, an undone seam, a broken clasp). I tried calling to let them know, but all they did was send another load of damaged merch.

    Off the top of my head, that’s the one and only thing I’ve ever won.

    I really do have shit luck lol
