+++WHILE in Office? Ronnie AND Nancy RayGun deepened, lengthened, & worsened the AIDS Epidemic by ignoring it for years under the rational that, since it was a ‘Gay Plague’, and Gays didn’t MATTER? ‘Who cares?!?!’
Even managed to justify their malicious neglect after it became apparent Intravenous (Needle Using) Drug Addicts were ALSO getting HIV. Their justification? ‘Dope Heads are dying? Again; Who cares?’
HIV epidemic was of NO CONCERN to Ronald & Nancy Reagan, UNTIL it became OBVIOUS Cis-Straight People were catching it, TOO (Which… I mean… It’s a brainless, GotDamn, virus! WHY/HOW would it give a fuck about Sexual Preference OR Addiction Status and decide [Again: Viruses HAVE NO BRAINS to decide WITH] not to infect White-Cis-Straight-RepCons?!?!)?!?!?!… ‘Oops’ Bonzo & Nancy?… Shitheads!… Morons!… Scumbags!!!
As a result? AIDS spread, virtually unchecked, across the country and the world. Only NOW (July, 2023), decades later, reaching manageable levels in Nations on African Continent that were RAVAGED by it. Millions have died. MULTI-MILLIONS. Because Nancy & Bonzo couldn’t have been bothered to JUMP on a pandemic that, to THEM? Appeared to… ‘Only effect/punish Gays & DopeHeds’.
*Well, there IS the new Biden Campaign Ad that uses Cro-Marjnon 3Toes OWN WORDS from a recent speech (Joe even Endorses her speech😂🤣😂) where she tries to disparage Biden by listing all of his accomplishments (Infrastructure/Lowering Deficit AND Unemployment/Help for Workingclass Poor/etc.) as if they were *Scare Quotes; ACTIVATE!* ‘A LibDem SOCIALIST plot!!1!1!!1!’… And, obviously, she CatFails MISERABLY.
She is EXTREMELY stupid and the Ad is VERY amusing.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL
“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”
My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old
My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.
The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.
For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes.
Update: you guys this is an amazing resource for learning asl. Bill Vicars is an incredible teacher. His videos are of him teaching a student in a classroom, using the learned vocabulary to have conversations.
Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.
He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms
His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.
Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore
And it’s all FREE. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to learn ASL

“writers deserve attention more than actors” literally only 2% of actors can pay the bills with acting. For every megastar on screen there are a dozen other people in the shot who are SAG. Acting gets so glamorized but there are SO MANY people in SAG who NEED residuals to live on. Background Party Girl #4 needs her check too!!!! There are people who play recurring characters on syndicated shows who cant afford health insurance!!! Ke Huy Quan gave an oscar winning performance and LOST HIS HEALTH INSURANCE the next year.
also interesting how when it was just the writers on strike it was “ugh why do they even need more pay they’re all rich anyways” and now that the actors have joined the strike it’s “well the writers deserve more attention cause actors are all rich anyways.” wonder who it benefits to constantly be portraying striking workers as greedy whiners & pitting them against each other.
Genderkoolaid is hinting at it here but I’m gonna be direct, in case anyone missed it. THESE ARE BULLSHIT IDEAS! Neither actors nor writers “deserve” more attention/pay than the other, they BOTH deserve all the attention and good pay! Don’t let the corporations trick you into pitting actors and writers against each other! Actors and writers are workers, they’re together against the companies/corporations, they are NOT competing!
Has no one ever HEARD of ‘Divide & Conquer’?!?!
I’m only asking because people seem to… -Just-… KEEP falling for it!
