Born and raised in Philly, live in Brooklyn...and so, so exhausted. Si paratus maneres, te ipsum paratum non necesse est.
Stupid ass. Think about it, Lady Next thing you know she'll be struggling to explain to her White kids the mystery of why her Black kids got deported.
I guess Kegsbreath and DoD are coming back around on Gender-Affirming Care...also, what could possibly go wrong if the uber-competent Pete Hegseth start pumping our soldiers with Testosterone?
It’s like a deeper circle of hell than I could’ve ever conceived of myself: trapped at sea on a floating toilet and vector with the most odious people I could conjure.
This is The Way: Biddeford, Maine after ICE murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero this morning with his 3 year-old daughter in the backseat.
As the @nytimes.com is won to do, by the time this Lyman Stone opinion piece landed in the print edition today, they'd closed online comments, so I went Old School and sent a Letter to the Editor. Stone is a rabid racist; check his January post about Somalis.
Not "Going Up Yonder" ... that was so hilariously unnecessary and petty, LOL!!!
No matter what they do, it's gonna be a Biblical-level mess; I just hope no one truly gets hurt while they decide what to do (again). A real "First World" country would just bury this segment (and a whole lot more of it). brooklyneagle.com/401182/nyc-d...
This epidemic of Klan on Klan violence has just got to stop…waidaminnit, this just in: #LetThemFight.
As a Consultant (not in politics) who very much believes in doing my due diligence and whose duty of care to his clients is paramount, this just makes my skin crawl. The giggling...and his wry pause and her playing with her hair are huge tells.
This individual right here...also, he knows those babies of his are likely to darken up as they age, right? These Brown women married to these trifling-assed, racist men gonna have me at the Ophthalmologist from my giving them so much side-eye.
Never ceases to move me. This is also a great antidote for me to the anodyne @npr.org segment on "The Star Spangled Banner" I heard earlier today - a segment that explicitly and without note or challenge pretended that the song ends after the first verse.
This hilarity happening in this FB group right now...I can't catch my breath I'm laughing so hard...AAAAAAND the way Black folks en masse colonized that page and unleashed our preternatural sense of Petty as if we all got some Bat Signal filled me with pride and made me laugh even harder.
A+ use of Beastie Boys meter. Opus Dei? More like Opus don't even try it!!
Helpful Hint from Heloise: don't call Black and Brown men "boy" and maybe you won't get your ass beat. You're welcome. Willson Contreras trying to fight Cade Cavalli after Cavalli said to him, “Sit down, boy.”
Today's letter is "D" for "disclosed." Maybe try that Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and "Poof!!! Where did all of my gambling debt go" Kavanaugh.
Apparently, Tom Kean supplemented the care he was receiving in the depths of his depression by [...checks notes...] trading stocks. Fuck him.
Also, many of us suffer from depression and/or have had bouts of depression and we've all still had to handle our business or suffer the consequences of not doing so. He - a public servant who heretofore couldn't give a shit about leave for illness - vanished for months. Fuck him.
If that tacky piece of ersatz garbage falls over or collapses, you will not be able to stop me from laughing. It would be the BEST metaphor.
THIS is why they been mad, still mad, and gonna stay mad as fuck: they cannot handle this. It's an example of Black families rolling with the same dignity/intelligence/grace/unbotheredness shown here. They can't stand the concept, idea, or reality. After everything done to us how very DARE we?
