If I'm nervous I interweave my fingers together - that pretty effectively stops them from twitching.
@ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow And our new word for them is "Didn't hire."
I'm realizing a communication accommodation can be the ability to edit your posts
Verbiage flies out of my mouth or from my fingers half-formed a lot of the time and I will edit stuff several times after to adequately convey my thought
In real life this just results in folks dismissing what I'm saying or endlessly debating or correcting me because I can't go back and edit what I verbally told them, because I was either missing critical details or misconveyed a point
(Case in point, I've edited this post 3 times so far)
Another step in my journey of eliminating sexism in my speech, and something I've done since she became VP.
But I'll happily call her MADAM President.
I'm hoping the timing was all on purpose.
I mean, it works, either way, but I'd love to believe it was deliberate.
This Atlantic piece actually highlights how Biden dropping out when he did is perfect timing. By doing so almost immediately after the RNC, in the middle of a long weekend (a move designed to screw over the pundit class), he murdered the GOPβs momentum overnight and left them stuck with a VP candidate who wonβt do anything outside of Trumpβs base. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/trump-campaign-biden-dropping-out/679183/
@wdlindsy Trump's Achilles heel is women, specifically reproductive rights and reproductive freedom for women. He knows it.
He's the gross old Klan guy who brags about his sexual freedom to grab women by the pussy, as he brags about bringing draconian restrictions for women.
He has tried to erase abortion from his public platform.
A campaign war on abortion will end him.
Kamala is the right warrior, the right champion, at the right time.
Their new n-word is "DEI hire". They apply it to everyone who isn't a cis white straight male.
See? Trump is unifying. We all hate him and are joining together to stop him.
@wdlindsy
T**** made "#Unity" the theme of his #Convention, but it was #Democrats that actually SHOWED IT by so QUICKLY & ENTHUSIASTICALLY rallying around #Harris (in large part b/c of how strongly we feel about the need to defeat #TheOrangeMenace.)
And now, everything everyone has been saying about being "too old to be president" and questions about "mental fitness" have been laid at his feet.
@DrSuzanne I'm not putting my beliefs aside one bit. Not even a little. Trump is worse on literally issue that matters to me. It's not hard.
