Always go with your gut! I really do believe that when your intuition gives you a warning, it should be listened to —and worst case scenario, you are wrong but you get away and you’re safe regardless. It sounds like you got one hell of a biological warning, and you were wise to listen to it :)

Fear is an evolutionary gift from our ancestors. I always remember that when something just doesn’t feel right.

the only story i have like any of these on the threads are stories where all of a sudden my body just bugged out from being on a bus or in the vicinity of some guy, like someone was telling me to get away, and any time I feel like that, I always try to listen. Especially after I read The Gift of Fear (which everyone…

The thing that makes this more scary than last year is that you still haven’t seen his face on the news yet.

What does that make the High Sparrow, then?

I’d argue that the Lannisters aren’t the Trumps though. The Lannisters are the Republicans as a whole. The analogy for the Republicans creating the Tea Party as a tool but having it ultimately backfire as it brought Trump to power is perfect for them. 

C’mon now, everybody knows the black people are chilling out on the Summer Isles, staying way the hell out of all these wypipo problems. The last one we saw noped the fuck out of there when boats started blowing up.

I mean, shade is the monarchy’s primary means of communication.  They literally CAN’T say exactly what they think, so they’ve had to master it as a means of survival. And I love it.

I thought for sure the Queen Elizabeth shade was when she showed up to speak with the Grenfell Tower victims after Theresa May said it was too dangerous. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-16/queen-at-london-block-where-30-died-as-may-criticized-over-fire

She certainly interacts with people of color more than most white women of her age and class.

“Aus gegebenem Anlass...”

The German Federal Foreign Office tweeted a reminder today that our Secretary of State had just visited Pittsburgh a few weeks ago. The linked blog article was all about Pittsburgh embracing alternative/clean technologies and research, and how much this has benefitted the city. It was...masterful!

I have gotten my 65+ cubicle buddy into reading Jezebel. Yesterday I asked her if all the candy on her desk was a gift (she’s always on a diet) she came back with a sassy “I’m taking that comment to shade court.” You need to franchise shade court, pronto.

That was also a Pope thing. Francis is fluent in English but chose to speak to Trump in Spanish & through a translator.

In the photo op with Theresa May (sitting side by side in chairs) he spoke English. In the same set up with Trump, he chose to speak French. Yes it was petty, yes it was amazing.

Evidently there was also an incident with Macron in which maybe he should have spoken English in front of Trump, but chose to speak French instead.

It’s not what America wanted. America, by three million votes, wanted his opponent. At no point in Trump’s entire campaign, and almost certainly at no point during his entire presidency, did he ever once have 50% approval or favorability.
