#NorthCarolina#Republicans had a chance to nominate a normal candidate with a long record of diligent public service, but that would have been the sane choice, and Republicans are most definitely not sane. So, they nominated this #MarkRobinson character, who has openly declared his longing for the days when women couldn't vote. No joke, that's what he's running on. Republicans deserve all the consequences of their decisions. Everyone else should move someplace blue.
I've been saying this for a long time now: Lying/gaslighting/cheating are now flagrant strategies openly flaunted and employed by GOP Fascist Party.

It is truly wild they are making this argument when the US has quite literally never produced more energy, has never been a more dominant energy producer in the world.
Chuck Grassley:
Welcome 2Pres Biden’s America where the fed govt chooses energy dependence over energy DOMINANCE AND INDEPENDENCE
"#NorthCarolina Republican Mark Harris, whose previous election to Congress in 2018 was thrown out after credible allegations of election fraud, won GOP primary for a newly drawn House seat.
'Officers with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have obtained arrest warrants for two people accused of stealing nearly 600 Venus flytraps from nature conservancy land in Boiling Spring Lakes.
Venus flytraps are native to southeastern North Carolina, and stealing them is considered a felony.'

Plans massive overspending in 2024 to control primary outcomes. In '22 it ousted a self-described Jewish "Zionist" b/c he also advocated for Palestinian human rights.

The gross 🤮 pastor from #Monroe#NorthCarolina who said ‘men’ that #rape women wearing shorts should not be punished, also runs a private (fake)#Christian school that received almost $1 million of tax-payer funds to ‘educate’ children!

The former president is barreling toward the Republican nomination with a sweep of early states, now including the one Nikki Haley had hoped would help her gather strength.
"A hospital is suing to move a quadriplegic 18-year-old to a nursing home. She says no"
I've heard variations on this same story over the years - mostly folks who are a bit older (20s or 30s) and who do not want to move to a nursing home - but I've never heard of someone being sued to leave!
#art#history: somebody mentioned 'mississippi goddam' &, geography aside, it perfectly expresses my feelings about today's unholy balderdash - which makes it serendipitous that nina simone would have celebrated her 91st #otd.
she needs no drivel from me. you all know how phenomenal she was & what an indelible mark she left upon the world of both music & activism. just put some records on & raise a tipple to eunice kathleen waymon! #ninaSimone#illustration#music#activism#northCarolina
The man #NorthCarolina#Republicans picked as their candidate for governor believes women shouldn't be allowed to vote. (He also believes a lot of other terrible things.)
This is where the Republican party stands. They must be utterly defeated.
Hi! I'm Kelsi Lyn Star. I go by she/her pronouns.
Most people call me Star if they met me online. I used to go by xxbabygirlstar or xxSupernovaStar, so Star has always followed me somehow.
Other people call me Kelsi because they either know me IRL or they just wanted something more personal than a gamer tag.
Few people call me Kelsi Lyn.
My dog's name is Daxter. :kelsilHeart: :kelsilAngel: :kelsilParty: :kelsilPlead: He's a rescue I got at 8 weeks old. He's NINE YEARS OLD and I want to freeze him in time before he gets any older. He is my best friend. He is never very far from where I'm sitting... unless someone has food nearby. He's a melon. He's a #mutt too, but I do know he has some Australian Shepherd, Shetland Sheepdog, and Golden Retriever in him.
I'm 30. I'm currently, temporarily living with my parents in #NorthCarolina, following a pretty huge depressive spiral after losing my last job. Otherwise, I live in #Tennessee with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. Apparently I haven't lived there long enough to spell the state correctly yet, spell-check always corrects my dumb ass.
I love to love everyone. I'm a #demisexual#pansexual --basically, if I love you intimately enough, I wanna get in your pants... But my bf and I aren't poly, so sorry, I have to stay out of your pants. Bummer.
I #stream vidya games on #Twitch. (https://www.twitch.tv/kelsilynstar)
I have a schedule (Tues/Thurs/Sat) but I'm just getting back into it after being gone for 4 years, so everything is up in the air, subject to change. Right now, I'm limited to my #NintendoSwitch on my temporary set up, but I do want to branch back out eventually. I swear a lot, and try to keep my community pretty chill and inclusive.
I'm #ADHD & #bipolar (#type2, the shittier, sadder version with less mania) but on pretty reliable meds so I've been pretty damn balanced lately. I am all about talking about mental health and try to learn as much as I can.
And speaking of learning, I love to teach people things I've learned. My last job was a #TechSupport#Trainer for Corsair, but my job got moved to California and I couldn't go with it. I spiraled hard after that because I really did love that job (even if it didn't always love me). But I will still be teaching people anything I know about, because that's just who I am as a person. I try to meet everyone where they're at and share new things with them in a way that makes sense.
I like to talk a lot, but I think I've rambled enough here. Hope to get to know more people, because I'm lonely as shit! No one is a stranger in my book, just people I haven't met yet. Come say hi, I don't bite... usually.
