Biden announcing a Russian oil ban this morning and pushing an end to remote work while gas is already $4 a gallon

While this is definitely going to raise gas prices, gas price is actually decoupled from demand and we have a lot of oil in reserve that we could release to lower the prices by increasing supply. Gas companies are artificially inflating the price independent of supply because they’re greedy. In reality, Russian gas only accounts for around 8% of oil imports. Biden is definitely fucking up here, but also keep in mind the greed of oil executives and US politicians who invested heavily in energy stocks immediately before the invasion.  They see this as a convenient excuse to get rich, blame Biden, and make the conflict seem worse than it actually is to increase defense spending.

“That’s the thing about introverts; we wear our chaos in the inside where no one can see it.”

Whenever people come with "they're from a different era" defending old racists and homophobes and transphobes, I always point to Betty as an example of someone choosing to grow with the world around them. Betty was on the right side of most of the history and change she lived through. There are no excuses. As long as you are alive, you have a responsibility to society to learn and be better. You don't get to decide when you've had enough because ideas that are new to you make you uncomfortable.

Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.

“If you’ve been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle, then you’re a badass with the heart of an angel.”

“You are stronger than the things that make you feel weak.”

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

“You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”

For those of you who do not speak Corporate, this is just:

This how it is when you gotta hold back the real bitch inside of you for the sake of keeping yo job 😂
