I once had an encounter with Zak Brown (of country music fame).

They did a few years ago, but could certainly use an update...

whoa, whoa, whoa. what do you have against JRT owners?!

Unfortunately, he will probably be “taken in” and protected by whatever white supremacist gang exists in the prison he goes to.

Something you can easily do as an individual, besides supporting the causes others have described in their comments (reparations, drug laws, police and sentence reform, etc.), is that you can call out racism by the people around you when you see/hear it.

What struck me looking at these pictures was just how these memorials are incredible pieces of art, and each one totally different. Such a contrast from the cheap, mass-produced confederate memorials that white people are fighting to keep today.

What is it about the idea of, for example, a form that says “Parent’s name” instead of “Mother’s name” that erases women or our experiences? Or having gender-neutral bathrooms in a maternity ward or OBGYN’s office?

Having gender-neutral bathrooms is in the best interest of gender non-conforming people because otherwise a trans man who is pregnant and tries to go into a women’s bathroom has a high chance of being harassed, or asked to leave, or worse. [This is part of the problem with so-called bathroom laws - you’re forcing…

What the actual fuck?! that is legit insane.

Here’s what I don’t get - do these politicians seriously not have family members or close friends who have had cancer, or chronic neck/back/hip/knee/etc. pain, or mental illness, or any other serious conditions? Like, how do they so thoroughly lack an understanding of what this will do to middle-class people? Or do…

DeMario didn’t say he was too drunk to consent, he said he was too drunk to have sex.

This week The Sun reported that Taylor Swift is dating a British rando named Joe Alwyn. Apparently it’s “the real deal.” Sure!

Uggghhh this makes me want to rage stroke. I can’t believe there’s no procedure for the state legislature to force him to resign.

I hear you in that I also had the desire to go to BLM rallies but didn’t out of discomfort - mainly in that I had never been to any kind of protest before. I think the criticisms of white women not showing up before are fully valid and I don’t want a cookie for showing up now, but I can say that I’m not going away…

First, you guys are doing the lord’s work having to listen to all of these hearings. V impressed. Quick favor to ask - sometimes when a bunch of updates come in around multiple hearings, it’s hard to tell which hearing/nominee you’re referring to. Would appreciate if you could try to insert the name or agency/position…

*Or provide transportation between them

This just made me tear up - what a great summary of why this is such a momentous occasion.

I’m pretty sure it’s from SNL - can’t really remember what the skit is about, but Kate McKinnon is dressed like an old woman and says terrible and hilarious things about kittens and puppies she’s holding. It’s great.

PREACH!! It’s incredibly insulting for these parents to suggest that it’s better to expose your children and the people around them to serious, preventable diseases to avoid being autistic [as if that was even an option].

Yes, absolutely. Jewish standard time was a big one I heard growing up, but then I had an Indian friend whose family always said they were on Indian standard time. Really, we were all just late to get everywhere. I’ve had a terrible time trying to kick it as an adult!
