Sad but not surprising. Dude’s been released to what, exactly? He’s been in jail for 26 years. He went to jail before cell phones and the internet were actual things that regular people use. What skills does he have? What kind of support system? What kind of job can he get with his history? Most places don’t want an…

Public schools taught me to embrace my love of reading and exposed me to new ideas and cultures.

She looks very nice. I know some people don’t care for the matchy shoes but I think the head to toe blue is very pretty. Too bad I get the feeling she won’t get the chance to attend similar events since it’s pretty clear that Ivanka is going to be the equivalent of First Lady.

Sometimes I think people just like to be contrarian, bitter-ish, and dismissive about feel-good things. And I say this as a somewhat cynical person. I don’t even think they see it as shitting on the kids’ accomplishments, just pointing out, unnecessarily, that they feel like people are making a big deal out of what…

Sending good will

Just got a shiny new vacuum today and got a crock pot yesterday to replace the one that died. I’m far more excited about both of those things than I probably should be. My biggest I’m adult purchase was life insurance. I feel so responsible now when I write out the check for my premium.

Fuck these worthless pieces of shit. I’d like to say something more intelligent but, honestly, that’s all I’ve got right now.

I don’t know if it’s so much not knowing their holes as not knowing how to speak up when something like that happens. That’s where teaching people about bodily autonomy and consent comes in so that people know that it’s perfectly fine to put a stop to ‘accidental’ butt sex.

My biggest problem is that they’re usually oily and my gallbladder doesn’t care for that. I can do greens with smoked turkey but actual hog maws or salt pork, not so much.

I doubt it. A lot of racist people don’t think that they’re wrong. What makes them upset isn’t the realization that they’re being bigoted assholes, it’s that they got outed as racist assholes. They know that being a bigot isn’t really acceptable right now and that they will have to deal with public…

How hard is it to just say ‘soul food’?

How is it trolling? We’re talking about soul food i.e. southern cooking- what the racists in the article likely meant when they said ‘black people food’. That picture is straight up soul food which is eaten by people of all races. Posting a picture of the food that the article is about isn’t exactly the same as…

Quad-carb! Biscuits, mac and cheese, potatoes and breaded fried chicken. Nothing’s sadder than realizing that the only vegetables are cole slaw or some type of greens/beans with pork in them.

People already do. Both on foot and in other cars. Some people in Baltimore like to play pedestrian chicken and swear up and down that if they get hit they’re going to sue.

Totally thought that was a Tenga Egg for a minute. Shows where my mind is tonight.

This. It would be good to talk about Sanger as a person and as a product of her times without either lionizing her or demonizing her. She was a product of her times - as unpleasant and difficult and downright awful as those times were for a lot of people. Eugenics and racist/classist beliefs i influenced all manner of…

But very enthusiastically asinine

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been looking for something for arm bumps

The same way it’s trashy and disrespectful to use both veterans and active duty service members as political props while doing fuck all to actually help them.

Black people have a legitimate reason to be suspicious of a lot of things in this country. Eugenics was used a way to justify forced sterilization procedures on a lot of ‘undesirables’ including black people and, even though the Tuskegee experiment is the most famous it’s unlikely that it is the only time that black…
