A lot of shelters in Texas are kill shelters. In the rescue group I follow, they’re constantly organizing rescues of animals from Texas that are days away from being killed and bringing them to the Northeast or West. So, I don’t see anything wrong with wanting to save lives over donating to a political cause. Both…

“All lovers of cookies and happiness are welcome here.”

I was thinking the same thing. I’m sure the animal rescue is a cause already close to this woman’s heart, and when put on the spot, it was the first thing that came to mind. The snark about it seems pointless, at best.  Caring about things isn’t a zero-sum game.

I used to work at an animal shelter. The volunteers skewed cis-het, but the staff were overwhelmingly LGBTQ.  It wouldn’t surprise me if others were the same.  We weren’t a “gay animal shelter” as such, but we also kinda were, really.  Unless you meant gay animals?  In which case, penguins for the win.

I understand the animal rescue donation. As social problems go, pet overpopulation is a problem we absolutely CAN solve. Among other organizations I support, I support a local non profit that funds low-cost or no-cost spay neuter. That’s all they do. It’s spay neuter, spay neuter, spay neuter all day long. I mean, if…

These cookies look good, I wonder if they are...or the type of cookie that looks good but tastes not good. I wonder if they ship orders so I can find out?

Did you miss this in early 2016?

Yeah, the GOP doesn’t do platforms or policies anymore. Their entire strategy is a cocktail napkin with an “Owning the libs” scribble and a swastika doodle.

You can thank the senate R’s for squashing any investigatory panel.

Liz Cheney paid a higher price for Trump’s crimes than Trump did.

Let’s face it, Facebook is harder on Trump than the GOPers (both Senate and House) were during Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial over the fact he unleashed his angry mob of shit throwing racist treasonous stumblefucks to kill Congress, his loyal manservant Hecubus Pence and a bunch of unlucky Capitol Cops.

Some fun facts I learned while reading up on this extremely weird tradition...

Am I supposed to be sending you thoughts and prayers, or death threats?  The internet confuses me sometimes.  

Well honestly...at the moment that makes Kermit really look more racist then her. Because there at least IS a confederate flag with him on the picture, unlike her.

Yeah, isn’t this kinda like saying Kermit the Frog is a racist because there were confederate flags at some random Southern state fair in “The Muppet Movie”?

Just about every American institution or custom has, at some point or another, had some kind of racist element encoded into its DNA. That’s the real story here. Not that some 19 year old competed in a dumb pageant. 

I don’t understand how there is enough of her in the movie to hate? Like she has such a small roll and so few lines that It’s weird how people latched on her to hate, for what ever reason.

The new layout is unusable as far as I’m concerned — there’s no way to find the latest articles **at all** that I can see. I was thinking that the first article in each category would be the latest, so at least you could slog your way through that way ... but as far as I can tell, that’s not the case (ex: when I…

Nope, because that takes you to Gizmodo’s “Latest”, which is from a much larger pool of articles! They just don’t want people to only read io9, I guess, because they hate their viewership!
