im so in love with this post one time i got really really high and decided since i dont have a printer that i was going to paint it and hang it up on my wall
there's only 7 words on the painting and you managed to misspell the two largest ones
So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.
Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?
They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.
anyway its cool as shit, please support tf out of these people https://gamblinstore.com/reclaimed-earth-colors-set/

Thinking about how every major city (except fort worth) in Texas is blue, votes democrat in every election, is majority liberal/left-leaning. It's driving me insane okay. The majority of Texans live in or around the major cities. Land does not vote.
75% of Texans live in BLUE!!!
This makes me want to put a toaster in the bath tub okay bye!!!
You guys don't get it, like if you're not from Texas you don't get it. Most people here seem to just wanna keep their guns and like not have to pay high taxes, but thats were their ""conservative "" views end. Texas is a minoriry-majority state. Dallas and Austin have some of the biggest LGBT populations in the US. To even call Texas a red state is CRAZY TO ME. ITS GERRYMANDERING!
People really need to remeber that most red states are only red bcs of voter suppression. Time and time again looking into the actual political leanings of populations has proven that if every single American adult voted the republicans would never win another election anywhere and that's without getting rid of gerrymandering and the electoral college. This is why they're obsessed with making sure it's as hard as possible to vote, it's the only way they can stay in power and they know it. They've known it since the goddamn Civil War, fuck since the dawn of this country. It's always been about making sure the "right" people are in power by only letting the citizens who will vote for them have the ability to do do so.
And, incidentally, this is why Arizona has gone blue. Despite being a historically red state we have laws to protect people's right to vote and make it as easy as possible, and it's telling as fuck that the second the tide began to turn in 2020 the republicans here immediately started trying to implement voter ID laws and ban mail in votes. They KNOW they will lose if they let everyone vote and so they rig the game as much as possible.
This is part of why you shouldn't write off places like Texas and Florida and other red states bcs they keep voting red. The majority of their populations are NOT republicans and the only reason republican candidates keep winning is because they have suppressed voters at every step of the process, going so far as to throw out hundreds of thousands of votes in some areas in Texas on a bs technicality that would have likely meant Beto O'Rourke's victory over Greg Abbot.
It's fucking rigged. That's why they keep winning. So stop writing off these states as lost causes just because of their elections, damn near EVERY American state has a population whos majority leans left, they just continue to have their rights stripped away by corrupt leaders who know the only way to win is to cheat.
No wonder they have so obviously turned against Democracy.
^^THIS THIS THIS
Almost every single red state is a hostage situation.
Also Republicans/Conservatives from out of state keep moving here.
I'll keep banging this drum forever, but 2018 is the most stark example. If only people who were born in Texas voted, Beto O'Rourke would be in the US Senate right now, not Ted Cruz
Wanna know why Beto lost by only 2% in 2018 and 12% in 2022? It's out of state conservatives.
Conservatives from out of state keep coming here because they think it's this state is a conservative paradise where they can do what they want carte blanche.
I've seen Texas get progressively worse year after year, and not just politically. The drivers have gotten worse and more aggressive, especially in Austin where this wasn't as much of a problem.
People have become even more invasive and hateful towards the LGBTQ community and PoC, especially in the suburbs. Our housing prices have shot up faster than anywhere else in the nation.
You can track the continued left-ward movement of places like California and Colorado with the right-ward shift of Texas, because they keep fucking moving here. I'm sure you can say the same thing about Florida, they just got a whole new set of conservative boomer retirees moving there and Trumpists moving to be closer to Mar-a-Lago.
At this point, the best option for my partners and me is to just leave Texas and take the places of the shitty OoS Conservatives that moved here.
i feel like in many cases texas is something of a microcosm of the united states, because many of the larger cultural and political issues of america are mirrored and magnified on the smaller stage of texan politics. disenfranchised voters, culture war issues being pushed to distract from real issues, disproportionate control exerted by the fossil fuel industries...
