Well, Clapton stole that one from Bob Marley anyway.  ./shug

I saw a tweet or tiktok that said something along the lines of “Eric Clapton pays Chicago blues, but he prefers the Delta variant.”

A long time ago, when I was a wild teen and we hitched to concerts, clubs, discos and all (rural Wales not having a great bus service) we used to put a platform shoe in our handbags. The any guy who tried for it got a really big surprise being clobbered round the earhole, or if he was really nasty, in the bollocks. 

Yep, yep, and yep. Shoes should make you more mobile, keep your feet safe and protected and comfortable. Heels in general are a statement that you don’t need, or don’t want, or aren’t able to move around freely.

I’m 5'10...I would look like Bambi trying to take its 1st steps in these :(

I don’t like to wear any shoe I cannot flee disaster in. Gotta be able to flee!

The ability to curl your tongue is genetic, so don’t worry if you can’t do it. I imagine you can get a lot of the benefit with your tongue flat if you can figure out the best lip position. I’m a non-curler myself so will have to experiment.

Austen being a hedgehog would be a much more interesting scandal than “privileged 18th century woman has family ties to racist business”, imo.

There’s a really great book by Jean Rhys called “Wide Sargasso Sea” which is the anti-colonial origin story of Antoinette Cosway (the mad bride in the attic.) It tackles this topic really well.

Exactly. My family has been in North America long enough to be implicated in just about everything shitty that has been done here, and I have a cousin who was kidnapped into my family via the Sixties Scoop (children stolen off of reservations and adopted out into white families). I don’t think it’s even a matter of…

My great-grandfather was involved in the “Indian Wars”, i.e. taking lands from Native Americans and killing as many as possible under the veil of fighting insurrection.

This is treason, no doubt. Using a phony “election fraud” story to keep Trump in power with a combo of mob force and insider complicity at the very least to prevent the next duly elected administration from being confirmed. Hell, he was willing to sacrifice his own Vice President. Trump and all his lackeys need to be…

Sorry but it looks like she’s branded herself Moldy Labia.

It really is starting to look like the mob was just plausible deniability for an actual, planned, coup attempt. It makes it look like a spontaneous riot.. until you take note of how many people showed up prepared to do something a lot more specific than just break some windows and yell a lot.

Someone needs to take a full page ad out in the New York Times calling for Trump to be removed from office and prosecuted.

Abby Johnson: Forced Birth and Pro Coup Advocate

The idea that an antifa supporter was assaulting an elderly woman on the Capitol steps and there is NO video/pictures of the incident made me actually laugh. There would be some video of it, and Fox/OAN/Newsmax would be playing it on repeat.

It’s funny how they’re pro-life until they’re beating a cop to death with a fire extinguisher. 

This person is the perfect example of modern American conservatism. She’s a liar. Nothing she said is based in fact. Does she believe her own lies? Maybe. Maybe she is that delusional. It’s all still a lie. And this is where we are now. The right will say absolutely any bullshit to further their fascist worldview. All…

It’s unfortunate that the media has portrayed a peaceful event as something that it wasn’t
