80. I don't understand why you would explode

Fri Sep 12, 2025, 10:12 PM

Friday

Everyone knows what Kirk was, of course his wife would be outrageous.

But other people's choices whether hypocritical or not, are not gonna wreck my day or make me explode.

I know of no movement to make women ashamed of being competent...? And I know of no women who would be. I guess that's another right wing thing I have no interest in getting upset over.

No one can change anyone but themselves. Trying to or thinking you can or should is a useless waste of time.
