Needing to work to be happy, or to have a meaningful life, or to feel productive or fulfilled, or whatever - that’s been an alien concept to me my entire life.
People talk about their careers with pride, they look forward to going to work and … I don’t understand it. Is this supposed to be an achievement? There is no amount of money or perks that could fool me into believing I’m not selling my life away. It’s really fucking hard to pretend everything is fine, when sometimes I just want to disappear in the woods.
Doesn’t anyone else feel like this?
Ha! This clown is talking about Postcards for Democrats, a grassroots organization of volunteers reminding registered Democrats to vote for their local Democratic candidates. Super threatening to … nazis, I guess?
Only eight states have automatic mail-in voting: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington state, plus Washington DC.
Some states have No Excuse Required mail-in options, while others have Excuse Required mail-in options. I’ve lived in all three types of states. The automatic (blue) state was best, and No Excuse (purple) state made the mail-in request easy, but I had to jump through hoops and lie my ass off to mail my ballot in the Excuse Required (red) state.
Every state should have automatic or No Excuse mail-in ballots.
I’ve been mailing in my ballot for years. Sitting at home and researching each candidate and proposition at my convenience is a game changer. (This year, my ballot had 15 propositions to unravel!) I don’t need to worry about getting to the polls - or dealing with the armed, lingering asshats.
EVERYONE should be mailing in ballots.

Steve got you, fam! I’ve been registered and actively voting in 3 states since 2020 - currently in a swing state. I was getting over 40 emails and 15 texts every day, plus phone calls each week. Last week I cancelled my registrations in the two former states by snail mail, because that’s apparently the only way they verify your signature.
10·24 days agoI’ve lived in and was registered in 3 states in the past 4 years - currently in a swing state. Before I began blocking political texts and emails a month ago, I counted over 40 emails and over 15 texts per day, every day, plus phone calls every week.
38·26 days agoUSA is not the most powerful or influential country in the world.
In a neighborhood where every home except USA has universal healthcare, living wages, metric system, climate agreements, accountability, proportionate security, and low gun violence, USA is the crazy house that just shouts about how everyone else is wrong and waves its giant arsenal.
Except Beto never mentioned the gun buyback program or AR-15s or anything about guns until 2019 - the year AFTER he lost to Cruz.
Idaho wasn’t always a haven for the radical right and their terrorist agenda. Progressive environmentalist Senator Frank Church (D) represented the majority of the populace, and when white supremacists tried to muscle into northern Idaho, the locals successfully fought back.
Beginning in the 1980’s, Idaho’s incredible natural resources and staggeringly cheap property attracted a steady flood of survivalists, developers, and right-wing extremists from other states. This ongoing influx has shifted state politics to nearly Texas levels of hate, and the ensuing economic assault - as well as the sprawling destruction of its natural resources - has driven out many people from Idaho.
Even this shrieking douchebag Dan Foreman, is from Illinois. He moved to Idaho around 2005.
The human effect is just an elaborate version of “There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.”
I have a relative who works there, so I was given a more complete picture of this shitshow right after it happened.
The health district doctor who pushed for this, John Tribble MD, is from California - where his medical license (109949) was revoked, stayed, then placed on five years probation in April 2015, because of his anti-vax extremism. He eventually moved to south-central Idaho and joined a religious medical clinic. I believe he is still affiliated with it. https://heart2healministry.net/providers/
Conspiracy theorist guest speakers from other states presented to the board every crazy lie from their repertoire, including how the vaccine gives people Covid-19.
Many competent medical staff members, already alarmed at the toxic workplace environment, are now resigning from the health district.
