I'm Kind of Worried About My Dad...

Here's the thing! Everyday this man checks his phone to see if Jen Psaki is speaking yet. Every time he lights up brighter than a Christmas tree when he watches her broadcasts. This is some grade A crushing and I just don't get it. WHY?! What can I do to soothe his ache for her?

Anyone wanna explain or gives tips?

Who Here Keeps Up With LGBT Web Comics?

Okay! I’ve been meaning to jump in for a while! I read a lot of web comics and I know a bit about the classic comics. Love Spider Man and X-men the most. I’m curious about if you guys pay attention to web comics and/or LGBT web comics.

So, do you?

Right now my favorites are:
Tripping over you
Transfusions
Paradox
Behind the Obsidian Mirror
Exorcist Academy

If I knew the Bible better ...

... I’d be posting that verse where Jesus says, “Lo. Respect thy neighbor's personal space—especially during a pandemic!”

I’m sure he said something like that, I just don’t know where to find it. Can anybody help me out?

Obesity Explained

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-P6rwnBUpC/?igshid=1wy2jn3jg3ujn

This post on insta talks about why obesity can occur and is very important to note. The problem is not our health for a large portion of americans, the problem is the charts. Many people are labeled overweight unfairly by doctors using the standardized chat and we need to share this.

Covid19:New rules from work

This is scary. My workplace(a sprts bar) just decided they would start doing some new precautionary procedures. The servers are to wear gloves when taking money and they are to sanitize the booths and chairs wvery 20 minutes. The cooks/prep/ect are to wash thier hands every 20 minutes. There is talk that we may switch to ‘to go’ orders only.

Here is the scary part. If any worker shows symptoms we are to be sent home immediately and cannot come back until we have been tested. We must bring back a doctors note proving to not be infected. We can get fired if we have covid19 or if we don’t get a doctors note.

The only place that supposedly has tests is about an hour drive away. It won’t be free and it won’t be paid for by the company. I can’t afford to get one even if I did catch it. I would be out of the job.

If we can, we need to do something fast. Healthcare for all is a step! That won’t be fast enough though. I’ll take my freedom dividend though. That way I can pay my rent if I loose my job. Wish me and my co-workers luck!

Why I voted Sanders

To any Boomers on this site, ya’ll don’t get me. Many of you are well off in the world and looking to retire or are retired. You have good lives and can sustain yourself. You don’t understand my struggle as 19 year old. I'm unlikely to afford college any time soon. I’m not going to be able to afford children. I’m likely to have to work 3 jobs in order to barely maintain an upper lower class life. (And that’s if I’m lucky) My life expectancy is shorter than yours is.

I understand you’ve had some tough times, maybe even working 2 jobs yourself. You got underpaid, there were less labor laws, ect... but that hasn’t stopped many of you from leading successful lives. A much higher percentage than my own generation will have.

Even if you can’t understand all of these plights... at least understand why I voted for Bernie in the TX primary.
