OH GOD YES.

She believes whatever is convenient to her at the moment.

Those slave paintings were such a bizarre detail that revealed so much of Dolezal’s weird pathos. She loved the women in National Geographic so much ... and yet this is the only way she chooses to represent black people. So bizarre.

Seriously, when they posted the excerpt of the interview yesterday I got SO EXCITED when I saw who wrote it. Oluo not only brought a whole new perspective on Dolezal that reveals her as much more insidious and much less of a joke, but managed to bring out a lot of things Dolezal says that I see (way toned down)…

Yeah, they recognized him mid-order and gave him half his order but told him the fries were still cooking. It didn’t entirely work - he got fed up, took what he had and left, but it stalled him long enough for the police to catch up with him. I can’t say I would have been that quick to recognize him, let alone come up…

I do not want to know what other images come up under half of those insta hashtags.

Coward.

There have also been Girl Scout troops in juvenile halls, and troops specifically for girls with incarcerated parents. Girl Scouts are the fucking best and I will fight anyone who disagrees. With the skills I learned in Girl Scouts. (Which includes swearing.)

I’m crying and going to my mom’s garage to drag out my cadette uniform, and I’m not even ashamed.

One Direction went on my shit list with “What Makes You Beautiful” but damn if Harry Styles didn’t just make me heart him. Good on him for a full-throated defense of his teenage girl fans.

I can’t watch this, but oof my heart is with that family right now. How incredibly awful.

What the fuck.

I love this SO MUCH.

Good question - they were comfortable for me, but now that I think about it they were probably stiffer than average.

HELL NO to turkeys. There’s not a ton of animals I will go out of my way to avoid, but turkeys are on the list. They are devil birds. Took my kid to the farm the other day and wouldn’t let him get within a foot of the fence around the turkey pen because the thing kept coming up and puffing its feathers at him. No…

Totally wouldn’t. We’re assholes. They saw what happened to the bees and they are not here for it, I get it.

Oddly enough, Stephen King’s “On Writing.” Halfway through writing it is when he was hit by the car and nearly died, and something about his fear to start writing again and then return to his life through writing speaks to me when I’m in dark places.

I used to spend a lot of hours walking on marble floors, and strongly endorse Sofft brand shoes - even their heels were comfortable for me for hours. Aerosoles were a decent runner up.

So pretty! The first hike of spring is always so great.

I went through one summer as a kid where I was shat on by birds REPEATEDLY, in different locations. I dunno what I did to a bird that year, but they all had their revenge.
