Just an update: I am still planning on launching my Stuffie Theater project, but it's not super easy to do when there are people in the house. Which normally isn't a problem, as I'm usually alone all day. But my dad had emergency surgery a few weeks ago, and he's still got a few
weeks before he goes back to work. So I am making plans, trying to plan out scenes and props and such, but I probably won't start taking the pictures and posting until after the holidays (as my mom will be on Christmas breaks pretty much as soon as my dad goes back to work).
If it does turn out that my mom ends up home full time, as she's a teacher and they might close down schools (I sincerely doubt that will happen in my red state, where cases are soaring but the most the governor has down is limit the amount of people allowed at private gatherings
to 50), I will probably try to figure something out that will work so I can actually start. I'm going to mostly be doing it on instagram (I'll post the link when I launch it), but I'll probably post the links/images here, too.

I've been doing social media since long before it was widely called social media. By the time twitter was popular I'd already done a pretty good job of learning from just a response or two who deserves my time and who doesn't.
Honestly, being able to read what people on social media are saying, how they're saying it, how they're responding to you, etc., and more importantly, what they're looking to get, whether consciously or subconsciously, out of the interaction is just a skill like any other.
It can be learned, and I wish in general there was more focus put on that because I think it would have a serious impact on how social media effects us, how it contributes to our social/cultural discourse, and who's able to amass power (of all different kinds) from social media.
@JuddLegum So they're basically throwing her under the bus and risking her losing that runoff? I feel like there are a few possibilities here and it could be a combo: 1. They have big plans to cheat in the runoff elections too so they don't think it matters if they throw her under the bus
@JuddLegum because she's fixed to win anyway 2. They're grasping at straws to try to further legitimize these fraud claims, they noticed how people are saying the "well why don't you think there's fraud in any state you won in", and they're trying to push back against that by throwing her
@JuddLegum under the bus to push this "see, we're not just sore losers saying democrats cheated. We think there are cheaters everywhere!" narrative, and they're willing to possibly risk her losing to do that. 3. Trump is fully aware that there's no chance now and he's trying to burn down
