I read Sorpasso as Sourpuss 

You would think, but they can just make up the difference by incarcerating more Black and brown people

That’s very true, it’s better than nothing. And I know the feeling. God knows if Texas will ever do anything statewide, but here in Harris County it’s been decriminalized for at least a decade now. Meanwhile, at least one of the counties that borders Harris will gleefully throw your ass in jail over stems and seeds

So I’m way more knowledgeable about the consumption of weed than I am of the production, but four plants can produce waaaaaaaay more than an ounce, correct? Based off of what we’ve seen in NYC, something tells me that law enforcement is going to be looking for any way around legalization to continue arresting people 

That would be a good one. In my defense there’s standardized testing going on today, so for my students it’s an asynchronous day with an easy writing assignment discussing their experiences from the past year. Let’s just hope the system for testing doesn’t crash today like it did on Tuesday. Seems like everything in…

Likewise, “teaching class” and commenting 

As does greg abbott 

Seriously. They do not care about the well-being of their constituents whatsoever 

I don’t teach a STAAR tested class (although I always have re-testers), so I’m definitely not the expert here, but my understanding is that students have to take it in person. They can opt out if they’d like, but the tests will still affect graduation. The other thing is that districts were given a 5 week window, but…

Oh you’re definitely not wrong, we’re basically an oligarchy at this point. I guess I should’ve had a disclaimer, cause having Lina Hidalgo and Mayor Turner here in Houston have spoiled me, her more so than him, but the small towns totally have batshit leadership. It took me a looooooong time to truly learn and…

Yeah, and we’re seeing the results of that as case numbers have plateaued, yet again 

“Whack jobs found a leader who told them what they wanted to hear.”

Seriously. I love this state so much, yet hate its leadership so goddamn much. Local leadership is absolutely amazing, while statewide leadership needs to be tried at the fucking Hague 

Ok. Dude’s had a bunch of scandals all at once. But when have we seen this same accountability on the other side of the aisle? How many repubs have called for gaetz’s resignation?

Um, plenty of left-leaning people rightly bash Cuomo for that and plenty of other reasons. Damn near every representative from NY called for him to resign

Between that stupid fucking superspreader event for a team that probably won’t even break .500 and the state ordering kids to come take the STAAR test in person, only for the servers to crash statewide, it really seems like that dumbfuck abbott is doing everything possible to hurt as many people as possible 

Both of those are some damn good looking cars 

Same, honestly 

Hell, ol’ dipshit Tucker the other day had someone on and they were saying that the next repub nominee will have to be a full on fascist, explaining it with the common abuser’s ‘look what you made me do’ defense, so it wouldn’t surprise me one bit 

And that’s exactly why I’ll just appreciate these from afar
