I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”

That’s a GOVERNMENT webpage??? What the fuck??

Indeed. The aroma is starting to fill the entire house.

Oh absolutely. I wasn’t even raised on them because my American parents turned down their noses at them. As an adult, however, a coworker introduced me to the brown sugar cinnamon ones…and they happen to be sold at my place of employment, so when I roll out of bed too late to make breakfast….

They are objectively awful, and I experience a mild self-repulsion every time I eat a pack. But the sugar is addicting.

Oh, that’s super fun. I didn’t have poisonous rice on my End of the World bingo card.

This is why we need feminist activism: prevent men from chaining a woman’s ability to pay for food or housing to his access of her reproductive system (in the form of sex or literally reproducing).

Too bad conservative women don’t recognize that.

Fuck. I hate that you’re absolutely right.

Where can I find the evidence for this? I want to read more about it.

Ugh, you’re so right. I was hoping to find a silver lining and there isn’t one.

European countries are also passing laws preventing mass-immigration through their borders. Of course, they are responding to Muslims and other brown people, but really, their fear of losing their culture is aimed at all foreigners equally. I’m not sure that asylum will be available or that current citizens will be welcoming to incoming American refugees.

Honestly, I’d be happy to become truly integrated into another culture and country and land. Like, if I end up as a refugee in another country, don’t naturalize me, don’t give me the right to vote until I’ve forgotten American values and culture. I don’t wouldn’t want to taint my new home with the same American biases that led to fascism. I want to learn better values and ways of relation.
