i’m voting no on 9, not because i’m some gunfucking republican or one of these people who believes only good guns can stop bad guns, but because a better, clearer law is absolutely within MA legislature’s capabilities. allowing bad laws to pass and stay without protest sets a bad precedent.

chapter 135**, not proposition. anyway, it’ll likely stay law in MA because that’s how we work up here and it’s really cool and good for everyone who isn’t a well off white man working as a cop 🫶

Q9 is misunderstood. MA already had the strictest firearm laws in the nation before prop135 became law, it makes firearms less accessible and it doesn’t apply to federal officers or LEOs. meaning it is a law designed to restrict only poor civilians.

i am not a fan of guns, but it’s a poorly written law. “assault-style” is not reasonably defined, emergency response prevention orders can be (and are) abused by cops and abusive partners, the “comprehensive” system is nonsense red tape on nonsense red tape.

Q7 is a band aid. we need more homes made available to those coming into the market, and building more cookie cutters while ignoring extant condemned buildings will not fix the housing crisis. call on your local gov’ts to fix up what’s there before building new ones.

there are as many empty homes as homeless people in massachusetts. free some shit up from the snowbirds and airbnbs, boom, no need for MORE development and crowding.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

i'm not saying you're obligated to vote for a candidate who wants you dead. i'm just pointing out that if it truly didn't matter at all, if it could never make a difference, there wouldn't be such a concerted effort to restrict it

it really kind of sucks when the people with probably good ideas for governance don't vote because "it never makes a difference"

i feel like if it weren't at all important or capable of making some kind of a difference it wouldn't matter enough for the GOP to want to take it away

i’ll vote for maura healey if she makes public transportation available and accessible for elders statewide. or if she actually regulates who keeps their license. or if she does fuckall about our road safety

OMG. Robot sighting in the wild! It has big cartoon eyes and a name tag declaring itself "Dax." The QR code goes to a website describing a pilot project between a SF Bay area city and a company to test pedestrian accessibility & right-of-way. Hard to believe this is more efficient that a human? 😵‍💫

i love learning. i just wish more educators loved educating. i wish i had actual words for the feeling i get from half-assed pedagogy besides immense, deeply visceral frustration.

i would take classes in person but i would be flaming the college educated professor for dumbass spelling mistakes the whole time and no one would learn anything. except hopefully the professor, who may choose to do a basic fucking run through of THEIR OWN TEACHING MATERIALS!!!!!!

it feels disrespectful not just from an “i’m literally paying you for this class” standpoint but like…you can’t respect your students OR the subject matter enough to double check? how am i supposed to take the material seriously when it’s riddled w misspellings of simple words?????????

what do you mean you’re teaching a sustainable HORTICULTURE class and you spelled PISTIL as PISTOL!!!!!!! once again how am i supposed to take academia seriously

6. The minimum wage must consistently be enough to afford a 3-bed, 2-bath apartment or house, utilities and taxes included, with half of the paycheck to spare.
