Unfortunately, women are particularly scrutinized for their work wardrobes. “Too feminine” and you won’t be taken seriously because you’re a brainless bimbo, “too masculine” and you won’t be taken seriously because you’re a crazy lesbian, “too cheap” and you’re utterly unqualified to do anything and likely stealing,…

Zombies and lady bits. Isn’t that always the root of societal ills?

Daaaaamn, that is stark.

I don’t much care who purged what, where, but reading all this pale gray text is hard on my eyes.

Also, passing legislation that makes it okay to run over protestors with your car, and illegal to wear a “mask” while protesting. But we’ll get on that hate crimes thing real soon.

As we’ve all learned over and over again, we can’t just say, “Oh, thank goodness that horrible person is outta there!” because whoever replaces them is worse. It is unimaginable horror all the way down.

Ego. Lust for power. A chance to grift like mad and/or really hurt brown people/LGBTQ+/the poors/etc.

“Look, I think we’ve spent enough time ignoring this problem. Let’s just move on to mishandling other things with fewer brown people, okay?”

It doesn’t take much effort to bump into connections while studying the less “weird side” of the Civil War era. The easiest would be to start at Abe Lincoln. You can go from the death of his son, to his wife getting into Spiritualism (and holding seances at the White House) to someone trying to peddle a “spirit photo”…

Now I kind of want to collaborate with you on writing a show. We could do “Connections” but for the “supernatural.” Part historical story time, part “OMG, do you have any idea how old this particular con is?!”

There’s overlap, sure, but various “mother’s little helpers” weren’t confined to geographic areas. They certainly did have all sorts of other cultural impacts, but I don’t think we can blame the whack-a-doodle religions on cocaine syrups.

Makes you wonder just what was in the well water up in upstate NY, no?

I was all excited because I got a sticker this time. I wonder if I can put it on the cat and manage to take a photo before she eats it or runs off.

I was sitting here, “no no, must not find humor in this serious and disturbing thing... ‘*piggysnort*’... yeah, okay. I can laugh at these idiots and be terrified.”

As horrific as the past week has been, I’ve been proud of my mayor and several other local elected officials.

Well, to be fair, between love of “American Exceptionalism” and the push to present Biblical mythology as a valid alternative to actual science, there isn’t much history or science left in the teaching of history and science.

Those are Star of David markers for the very Jewish victims, placed directly in front of the synagogue where they were murdered. The photo was taken from behind the markers, such that you see the supporting pieces of wood that would be hidden if viewed from the front.

What are the other options? Worse? Yeah, much worse. Okay. Buckle up. This is not the sort of mess that is going to be easy or fun to clean up.

Also, “other local political figures” said, “Nope!” to spending time with Trump. So, um, sure, the one guy who showed up was obviously his fav.

I believe Mulder had a swimming pool dug in the front yard. There are plenty of things that are eyesores without being advertisements as to your anti-semitic beliefs.
