“Woke” as a descriptive word has, as so often happens with language around marginalized folks, taken a very fast pace on the euphemism treadmill. Few people using it know the original meaning, even less those who hear it,so Carville is correct that people don’t speak that way. Woke in the original is so perfectly…

Well, I was super excited that corn allergy was an option.  However, popcorn was one of the first things recommended.  I'd say this service needs a lot of work.

I haven't checked yet, but if they include corn allergy, which is, sadly for me, too rare to require allergen information.  But it's mind boggling how much contains corn in some processed form, with many names I can't even pronounce, as well as something seemingly benign, like cellulose.

Just wondering if any factual research is required for your job, or it is just cherry picking regurgitated parts of articles from news organizations and then add that jez snark..only this time the only person who looks like a fool is you.

Living in a state where recreational is legal, I’ve still purchased and tried delta 8. Aside from the convenience of being able to pick it up around the corner at a vape shop, I find it suits me better. I’m hit or miss it seems with marijuana, sometimes it’s good, other times a few puffs makes my world spin. I get…

First of all, I think there’s this deep misunderstanding on what the Democratic Party is and isn’t. What we are is a party of coalitions. What’s the thing about coalitions? You give some, you lose some. There’s not a single ticket who can “excite” anyone in the party. Not left enough? This is America you have to…

Beau always has great takes.

Being a disability rights advocate, I respectfully disagree that they aren’t doing anything but wokeness for the more significantly disabled. In fact, I find the idea of being high functioning vs significantly disabled to be...ableist.

What we have to do is start looking at people for their strengths, not their…

pulling this out of the greys!  

Ok. As a parent of a a child who has multiple disabilities and requires high supports, you fuck off. Your child is a human and deserving of dignity that doesn’t include stereotyping nor infantilizing them.  Not that I’ve ever been perfect at this, but I have learned from listening to disabled activists, whom you…

I’m sorry, but as the mom of a special needs child you are exactly right.  

You should get more stars.

I live it.

So true, he pioneered the c-span sound bite, to make news, and not law.  I couldn’t hate that man any more without resorting to violence.

It’s not privately owned. It’s owned by Oakland County. There are of course ways to nitpick funding streams within county government, and living in this county and having a child with services I am all too well aware of how stupid it is to have to access different pockets of the same purse. The only “income” they…

It’s publically funded.

Where she is placed is publically funded by the county.

Indeed, at the very least we try to stop the mercury based ones.  People have been killing themselves in the search for whiteness for centuries. Interestingly, in the US, I remember that the trend for tanned = healthy was just the same principle in reverse.  Rich people could go to the beach and parks and play, whilst…

It worked so well for India during the Partition didn’t it?

They do work. Most can even be bought at prescription strength.
