Unashamed Fangirl

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

FD: We can see the cat. Do you have an ETA on animal control?

Dispatch: Twenty minutes.

FD: Alright, we think we can get the cat.

Dispatch: Copy, we'll let animal control know.

FD several minutes later: We've got the cat.

Dispatch: Copy, do you still want--

FD, interrupting: Update, the cat DOES NOT like us.

Dispatch: ...so you do still want animal control, then?"

FD: Yes. Tell them the cat is in the engine.

Dispatch: ...are you also in the engine?

I encourage everyone to not only be aware of Project 2025, but educate yourself on exactly what is — a nearly one thousand page document by Conservatives that describes the creation of an authoritarian state and dismantling of major necessary agencies (EPA, Department of Education, etc), as well as including a plan to remove those who hold high government seats and replace them with loyalists who have little to no experience in that field.

Twenty. Seven. Percent.

Just think about the systemic, massive, generation-redefining damage we could do to the Republican party if we could get that number up to the ballpark of even 50% in 2024. To say nothing of EVEN HIGHER.

Also: newly registered and never-registered-before voters, i.e. all the kids who have recently turned 18 and become registered to vote for the first time, never ever turn up on Registered Voter and Likely Voter screens for the purposes of polls (and the 18-24 group is notoriously hard to poll anyway, since they would all rather jump off a bridge than answer a phone call from an unknown number, even when pollsters actually CALL cell phones and not just landlines). So the more of y'all actually vote (and vote for Democrats), the more wildly, WILDLY wrong we can make all the polls shilling for Trump. Just saying.

As ever:
