The California Condor would be extinct if not for zoos. Instead, it has a growing wild population.

I understand what you mean about zoos being problematic, especially since they were started in an era of white supremacy/imperialism and haven’t always been great about giving animals good environments. But they do do a really important job in keeping species alive that we humans may otherwise have killed off into…

“Blistering, peeling, loosening of the skin; decreased urination; defective color vision; diarrhea; difficulty breathing; feeling that others are watching you or controlling your behavior; feeling that others can hear your thoughts; feeling, seeing, or hearing things that are not there; inability to move the eyes;…

1) Trump isn’t really taking it

Every living president has a moral imperative to step forth and condemn this president. Protocol be damned.

Good god! That poor girl scout in the green mask! Keeping a stony face while that wretched hobgoblin “grins” at her.

I’ve also never really understood why Sephora has shops in JC Penney. They seem to target very different demographics.

I think more people should realize that between layaway and store credit cards, for much of the time and even to this day to some extent, retail anchor chains were the only real source of reasonably-priced credit available to many low-income people and minorities. Their loss is going to hurt communities, as much as…

Honestly shopping in all the racks there never really bugged me. If you’re a bargain hunter, you hunt. That’s that. However, I remember buying some really cute workwear there in the early 2000s...and the next time I went back, everything, and I mean everything, was hideous. No pattern too loud, no fabric too…

If there was any justice in the world, Katie Porter would be at the top of Biden’s VP list.

Raise your hand if your mom ever called J.C. Penney this: Penney’s.

I’m American but also a UK citizen (plus the citizen of two other commonwealth countries) and I can confirm that it’s all absurd. Anyone who points to history or tradition for the reason to continue anything needs to remember that history and tradition are pretty much the defence for all forms of bullshit.

“This perception of Meghan as fake has long lurked in the ugliest coverage—an idea that’s intimately connected to the fact that prior to marrying a Windsor, she was an actress.”, emphasis mine.

And what the fuck does that word even mean in this case?

I eyeroll Kate’s popularity because she’s the epitome of the “ideal” woman: white, non-threatening, no complaints, no opinions, no controversy, sticking to the pre-approved talking points, never showing off intelligence, never speaking up, always being nice, never going off script, always compliant with what TPTB ask,…

I don’t know her depression, or your depression - I barely understand mine most days - but if that’s how she comes to grips with her experience, she should be allowed to speak to it.  She isn’t making a sweeping statement about Depression, just her own experience.

So, Trump will say “Told ya so!” and no one will ever ask “Ok, there was a huge preparedness problem that people were aware of. You’ve had four years to try and fix it....why didn’t your administration do anything?” And the answer will be “Nasty question! Obamagate!”

You just know they’re going to paint this as primarily Obama’s failure, never mind that Bush was still in charge in 2007 and nothing Obama did or didn’t do will justify how much they rolled over and lined up behind Grumpy Old Hitler.

I bet this neighborhood’s NextDoor page is full of delightful conversations.

I’m sorry, Sarah. That sucks. Especially now.
