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?

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.  

Yeah... I made he mistake of doing that. I still don’t understand why she hasn’t replied to this or said anything publicly. I feel bad for her because I highly doubt she knew or had anything to do with this organizations past. If it turns out I am wrong,  however, and she knew about it and supported it... well... I

If there’s one thing that Klan members love, it’s being in shows with gay black men. Come on, let’s stop and use some common sense on this one. She was in this, honestly fairly normal sounding, “Fair Saint Louis”. It changed to that name back in 1992. If you read your own writing, you’ll realize that when she was 19,

You see, a couple decades ago she participated in an organization that was pretty racist a few decades prior. This made me realize that, since I went to a college that only desegregated a hundred years before I was born, I’m also in the Klan, so now I have to deal with that.

That headline had me thinking the actor had a secret @kkkprincess account or something. Jesus Christ, unless someone can show something she’s said or done shut up and leave her alone.

For reference, Carnival/Mardi Gras started as a festival themed around force-feeding Jews, stripping them of clothing, and forcing them to run through the streets while jeered and pelted by the crowds. Even today, antisemitic floats are a standard part of European observances. Maybe don’t start pointing fingers at

I really hope she doesn’t get dragged through the mud for this shit.”

Do yourself a favor and dont read the tweets to the story. 

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”?

G/O Media Inc’s websites have really been struggling with generating content since Trump got kicked out of office.

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. 

Oh thank Christ, I thought there was actually going to be meat to this story and that I was going to have to write off another actor/ress.

This is a nothing-burger. It’s like getting upset that people who get hammered at Octoberfest are just celebrating the Anti-semitism of Bavaria in 1276...

So what did she actually do that was racist?
