Honorable Judge Brown, I have been waiting since Tuesday to post this for your consideration. Be it shade?

A friend of mine posted this sign from last weekend’s rally in Boston and I LOVE IT.

“It won’t be that bad” translation: I’m straight, white man & none of this will actually affect me.

Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job....

What are the odds that he could name five more black people, living or deceased?

Its black history month so let me take this opportunity to talk about me and how unfair the press is and let me name check a few token well-known black folks, inner cities and scene.

I can’t stand that look of awe and childlike adoration on a grown woman’s face. It’s the look every woman with one marble rolling around in her head gives her husband when he’s got two marbles rolling around. Duggard shit

That’s beautiful that new dog is honoring Cappies memory by carrying on her tradition! Is it dusty in here, or is it just me?

daisy has some very bizarre personality quirks. she makes ewok noises when people are ignoring her. this is a photo of her winning the annoying noise fight and forcing us to put her on the counter while we cooked.

My dog likes to sit on remotes. She is 99% an excellent dog and only about 15 lbs, so we have lots of lax rules because they aren’t really necessary. But recently she is about sitting on the remote. Like, seconds after you put it down she puts her ass on it. She also sits in the back of the sofa and regularly ends up…

I have a cat that rubs his face on our shoes after we get home. It’s a very strange habit, but whatever floats his boat.

Poor baby. She just loves you so much! Pictures? I love/need doggy pics.

So on Tuesday, I was home alone when some guys decided to use my house as a shield to have a drive-by and the people they were shooting at shot back. One of the shots (at least) hit my house and went through my bedroom wall and into my husband’s dresser. It was 4:30 in the fucking afternoon. I saw half of the…

My old cat, Pumpkinandy, would fight (with his teeth and claws) any tomato I ever brought home. To the death, and he always won. He would find them, too, on my shelves. And then kill them.

This is a great blog post about How to Stay Outraged Without Losing Your Mind:

Chaplin won’t eat his food unless we’re in the room with him. If I give him breakfast and then have to go out, he won’t eat it until I come home and am sitting nearby. I can’t even be in another room.

God give me strength to not lose my fucking patience with these fucking fuckers on the goddamned social media. I thought, naively, hey, maybe my conservative family would just pipe down and share senseless football memes or minion memes or whatever and stay out of politics now that they’re so palpably wrong.

As an immigrant, today’s events are way too reminiscent of the military junta of my childhood. I beg you, take all these anger to the midterm elections in 2018 and presidential elections in 2020. Make them hurt.

Tears of joy:

hello. i’ve been crying all day. this is so shitty. i have some cousins in a camp in syria and they were hoping they’d be able to get here but i guess not. i’m home alone, i’ve been crying on and off (the protesters at JFK really make me cry and i love them all). i’m cooking something to remind me of home and trying…
