Whenever they get on Twitter or in front of a camera it’s “there was fraud. So much fraud. We have evidence. The best evidence. All the evidence.”

I totally agree with you re: getting over it and making a list, and that gift-giving is a skill or a talent some people are naturally better at. That’s what we do in my family. I took exception to the idea that the way letter writer felt about this was wrong and she was ungrateful. Her feelings are valid. I feel the…

Not all families work the same way. In some families, this isn’t “doing something nice”. In some families, this is codependent and/or manipulative. 

Arlie Hochschild coined the term “emotional labor” and clarified her thinking around its use in this article in The Atlantic. While she originally meant managing feelings for a job (flight attendants, expected to be cheerful and calm) and agreed that the term has gained a use she didn’t originally intend, she…

Not until after the Georgia runoffs. If we lose those, then McConnell’s shitty deal - including the liability shield - sticks. We cannot let that liability shield pass. It will be like taking out a hit on COVID long haulers. They and their families will lose even the chance at justice.

You’re mistake is thinking that it’s a fight. It’s not. Mitch won’t budge from “Only the rich matter” position. Nancy won’t let him fuck over the country again to make the rich more rich. It’s a stalemate. The only way it gets resolved is if the democrats take control of the senate and bypass Mitch entirely.

This response pushed my buttons, so I rewrote it.

Thats thing that gets me. It is not just frontline workers but think of an office building. They a have been clamoring to get my wife and eye to get back into an office and they would love to work use until we succumbed to covid-19 pretend like it was our fault. Instead of you know forcing people to work elbow to…

Pelosi was bitter, and mad and standing on principle, and I can tell you this as someone who has gone hungry on many nights as a teen: a honeybun on the table now beats the promise of a steak tomorrow.

So if you know it is not Nancy’s fault why are you mentioning her? For real this shit is as tired as it gets. Her caucus did their job and Moscow Mitch won’t pass a fucking bill. You do know how government works right. Blame all the fucking Red states that seem to send the same soulless sacks of shit back to the…

Those people all voted their interests and the GOP is representing them. You just don’t understand what their interests are. You think they are safety, health, and economic prosperity when they are really racism, xenophobia, and making sure they have somebody they can feel better than.

Just to clear up this, Pelosi and House Democrats were willing to accept a smaller stimulus package. But they were insisting that the funds be mainly for people, not businesses. The Republican Bill that was rejected offered us a one time payment, unemployment that won’t pay bills, and billions for corporations again.…

It’s not ‘congress.’ It’s the Republicans and the GOP. Under Mitch’s relentlessly corrupt control, they will accept nothing less than the same billion-dollar grab-bag ‘stimulus’ for the rich as the last stimulus. The average Americans got fucked over, and that’s what Mitch wants to do again. But unlike last time, the…

Bingo!

It is undeniably just mesh. You can tell when she adjusts it several times during the read aloud portion of her book release. It’s on her instagram page. The way it bunches up there is NO WAY there is plastic sewn in.

And the problem is there are just enough unreasonable voices in the discussion for them to use as bogeymen.

So I just want to say there are see through plastic masks. We have some at our school for the speech person. They were originally developed for hospitals so that far of hearing people could better lip read.  We have some on my classroom as well. 

Thank you. When she claimed there was plastic sewn into it, I was hoping we’d see a picture of it up close. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be able to breathe that well. 

That was such a snarky “not that it’s any of your business” comment from Lana Del Rey. It’s not like anyone’s snooping when they criticize something you wear publicly as a celebrity that has the sole purpose of keeping the people around you safe.
