He's grown up in a bastion of privilege and with nothing but structural support for.that privilege. This is the first time that anyone, and especially wonderfully a BIPOC woman, has been able to penetrate the force field that privilege creates to tell him that he fucked up.

Jeremy, if you’re reading this, thank you. It’s rare we Asian Jews get our names out there but god damn dude you did this one proud.

“The commission did not respond to a large majority of them.”

This was one of the best calls I’ve heard. So glad I got to hear more about this hero! I almost felt sorry for them getting the aggressive calls. But then I remembered the 600 people killed without accountability and now trying to re-enact 1960s Selma, Alabama.  

Health crisis! I wonder if anyone will see this? I’m all grey.

Hi, Pumpkin! I have lived in México and so I will take a stab at this.

From a People headline today, Justice Smith (who was amazing in The Get Down!) came out as queer and had this to say about BLM and the inclusion of gay & trans folks in the movement:

Notice also how all these people demanding transwomen be removed from “single-sex spaces” are never encouraging transmen or many non-binary people to be included in them, or when demanding transwomen be removed from women’s prisons as an “assault risk” to straight women they don’t demand cis-lesbians be removed either.

Fuck guys, my dog is dying. A week ago he seemed like a healthy 10yo dog, then he had a seizure, wouldn’t eat his food and today we learned he’s got some kind of cancer and we’re talking palliative care and maybe just weeks to live.

We all needed this

How’s tricks in everyone’s neck of the woods? I’ve been working hard, and I volunteered for a long term covid antibody/vaccine study. They did their best to make it sound really important in the email ask for volunteers, so I donated my blood for the good of humanity, and they didn’t even have cookies afterward! Well,…

Thank you for providing a SNS topic that is current and provides an educational note of poignant sweetness. Not that the children need it as much as the adults in this country.

Chalk wall art into my teen daughter’s room😆

I am not a crafty person by any means, so I’m taking advantage of the only time for likely the next year or two that I can actually lead a crafty thread! A few SNS’s ago I asked you all for advice as I was considering using chalk paint for the first time ever, and this dresser has been in my family for over 100 years…

Somehow coronavirus has been less stressful than this fucking week.

As someone who has a tiny human, Yes that’s actually Elmo’s dad and he’s not a main character but does make occasional appearances 

It’s past midnight, I’m enjoying some very nice Devon cider oh and JK Rowling has finally gone all out attacking transpeople during pride month via the “you must menstruate to be a woman” bollocks that also defines ciswomen who’ve gone through menopause or had a hysterectomy as no longer being women in her eyes.

Trigger Warning!

As an Old Portlander (I remember when the first Bush called us Little Beirut) it’s completely unsurprising to me that not a word has been said locally about the time a Portland cop choked a black man to death and ignited protests. Two of his fellow offices sold a t-shirt with the picture of a gun that said “Smoke ‘em,…

One of the neighbors should ask the judicial system to review the judge who authorized the “no knock” order decision. They are really being given out to readily now and this is the time to start pressuring the system to change. They actually have a better case for judicial review than the Taylor family does as they…
