@fuzzychef @sue "Looking at anything on #Twitter is a mistake."

O/T: I'd been leaving my account dormant, but what you said is why I finally reposted my "most important" #OldTwitterPosts here, before pulling the plug & leaving only a redirect.

(Yes, I did grab my archive first.)

The sociopathic billionaire running the fowl site's free-speech-for-me-but-not-for-thee shitshow shouldn't profit from further engagement with the content I shared *for free*.

Carole Rose Livingston had it right about the pro-forced-birthers:

“I am a friend of the fetus,
A friend of incomparable worth.
I am a friend of the fetus,
Right up to the moment of birth.”

Choose wisely…
(Or, maybe, as the picture can be seen to imply, humans created gods.)

Women and girls are daughters, sisters, etc., but if that’s the only reason someone cares, they’re missing that women are equal, worthy human beings in their own right.

As Marie Shear elegantly and concisely put it:

#Feminism is the radical notion that #women are people.

[#OldTwitterPosts: Greg Black, July 2022: “Jeff Bezos could end world hunger any day if he gave a crap… The idea that world hunger, war & homelessness are inescapable is propaganda from the corrupt powers that be who want us to believe this world gone mad is the best we can do. A paradigm shift of higher consciousness would go a long way, ala Star Trek”]

And somehow we don’t see money and capitalism necessary in the peaceful, successful, thriving world of Star Trek’s 24th century Earth.

(From #OldTwitterPosts, In reply to Jack Brand commenting on the 2022 Maryland #Republican primary for governor, “The orange blob [#Trump] still has the #GOP trapped in a vise-grip. I’m OK with that.”)

I’m OK if the Republican Party a.k.a. the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party (“They won’t eat YOUR face!”) eat each other’s faces and go extinct.

(From #OldTwitterPosts: July 2022, replying to @nosrednayduj, “While [complicity masquerading as helplessness] may be true, it is VITAL that we all go to the polls and vote blue ANYWAY. Staying home or voting 3rd party DOES NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE. Don’t do it!”)

Our voting system is broken: we have to pick JUST ONE name and shut up about the rest.

Anything other than VOTING BLUE, up and down the ballot, is effectively a vote for the Republican.

It’s vital to get our asses to the polls!

[From #OldTwitterPosts, replying to #PeteButtigieg last July,

“It’s 2022. and 157 House #Republicans just voted against #marriage #equality. That’s where they come down on this issue. In 2022”

and Rachel Smith,

“Someone please tell me what is wrong with loving people? I can’t even fathom the reason why you would vote against this. If your #religion tells you it’s wrong to #love someone. You are choosing the wrong religion.”]

They’re only “babies” or “children” when they’re born.

We shouldn’t fall for pro-forced-birthers’ false equivalences.

[Replying to @shannonrwatts tweeting on July 4, 2022: “A mass #shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland a park, Illinois, has morphed into a hostage situation inside a grocery store. This is the horrific but logical outcome of a nation awash in too many #guns regulated by too few laws.”]

A nation awash in too many guns and too many deaths… all the more reason to #vote out EVERY #Republican this November, and in EVERY #election thereafter.

[#OldTwitterPosts from October 2022, in response to "BREAKING: Shell has reported profits of $9.5B for Q3 2022 compared to $4.1B for Q3 2021."]

Rising prices aren’t “#inflation” from higher wages.
They’re from CORPORATE GREED taking higher profit margins.

This summer, we paid 25% MORE per gallon of gas than when crude oil prices were as high ten years ago.

#CorporateGreed.

And its #Republican enablers.
