I feel bad I got the vaccine sometimes.  In my defense I did work as a front line worker for a few months. 

Puppers!

Uneven distribution of the Covid-19 vaccinations is yet another reason we need single-payer healthcare. We should not be fighting each other for this.

I thought this was gonna be about the mullet.

Ok fine, sorry for being insensitive, but it always helps people take your comments more seriously if you articulate them better...

So your main takeaway from her post is that she writes funny, not that there was some (at the least) creepy shit going on that they had to make a rule like that in the first place? She was like 14 years old.

I was too young for Jonestown and didn’t know much about it, but a couple of months ago I read a book called The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn (very good; recommend for people who want a relatively complete picture of what happened, though the last few chapters are almost unendurable to read). Spier is right, and…

I think the kidz call that “finsta” now

Addendum: Fuck Instagram.

Tune in next time, when we once again gape at people who unfortunately directly profit from our gaping at them.

Came to the comments for exactly this. 

so you mean pretty much any church or religious org. Especially the big ones. I’m actually not an atheist and I believe in God and an afterlife but I basically refuse to cooperate with organized religion because of the sexist, homophobic, racialized abuse in most of them. They’re almost all cults in the end.

All of this is stomach churning, but not surprising, especially the child sexual abuse allegations. It would be the safest bet of my life that Brian was abused by his father as well when he was a child; everything in there reads as classic signs, up to and including blaming other victims for “tempting” his father.…

The best part of the happy ending is that it was an intelligent, educated, compassionate Black man who came through with the solution and the skills.

I saw a short video on YouTube by Daily Gist where it was removed. Seeing a Black surgeon carefully and tenderly attending to a Black woman’s hair and scalp moved me to tears. I was certain her hair was done. He found a way to resolve the problem while preserving what was important to her. It reminded me of the sister…

Huh? I could be taught the same skills and I can assure you that I would never be able to paint like that. I do believe that hard work helps build raw talent (my daughter is a budding artist and has grown exponentially over the last several years as she continues to work more and more on her craft but there is a raw…

We used to get the same thing at a former employer. Guilt and pressure to donate. Then the scandals started coming out and all of a sudden UW is not a thing anymore.

Yes, and in my case it was an entire government bureau who was 1000% on board with breaking new organization-wide United Way fundraising goals each year, and even paid a *government employee* coordinator to run the fundraising campaign on UW’s behalf... funding the position was described as an “in-kind” donation. Wha??…

The United Way is a scam! You can pick where you would like your money to go, but they have no obligation to actually send it that charity. And! The United Way makes life so goddamn difficult for people like me, who work at the charities. I don’t need this much trouble sending acknowledgments to 4 different people for…
