Came here to suggest these as well - they're not cheap but boyhowdy do they work. Unless those are the 3m strips you mentioned. 🙃

a sleeper hit.

It's, uh, looking like that's the direction they're going. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to run multiple eugenics-coded ads doesn't happen by accident.

Maybe it's the hopecore, maybe it's the 32oz French press I took to the face, but somethin' about catching a Saturday matinee of Woke Superman makes life feel worth living

Might never get to actually work in public health, but Imma put my degree to work, take up permanent residence atop my soapbox, and yap into the void for the greater good.

I can do all things through an inflamed sense of justice, which embitters me.

Working on my first ever educational zine, but, naturally, I've special-interest'd too hard and can't decide what to cut down...

it's wild that today ICE was just like, "we're the thought police" unironically

Assuming you're not intentionally a transphobe, please just ditch Harry Potter. There's plenty of much, MUCH better-written fantasy made by authors who aren't absolute shit.
