#Juneteenth is a good day to reflect on the past and lay reality bare. Black folks aren't the ones that need to change. We need to confront the painful truth about ourselves, learn from it, not hide it away because we don't like what it says about who we are today. #HistoryIsUncomfortable

I forgot this was on the battlefield. 😫 #magicthegathering #commander

Descriptions of people carefully interacting with the fae so they don't get trapped are essentially autistic people trying to not screw up a conversation with allistic people. #autism #thatsnotwhatisaid

Yesterday's failure (half burnt pork ribs and undercooked baked beans) will be tomorrow's success: ragu for dinner and cooked baked beans for the freezer.

I'm so happy to see verification. I'm an Internet rando, so who really cares if someone pretends to be me. But it's nice to know that I'm looking at the real notable person or organization.

Here I am, with the last bits of my optimism, begging the ether that our admirals and generals choose their oath over the president when that time comes.

A lot of lawsuits have been and will be filed, USA. A lot of these organizations will need donations. Every bit helps! #DontGiveUpInDemocracy

Latkes are an absolutely gorgeous food. It's a shame I ate the last one.

Re: Vietnamese. The French are no longer allowed to Romanize any language ever again. No.

You would think a biologist of all people would know that things go wrong during gestation. Fuck Richard Dawkins. #protrans #transPeopleArePeople

Happy holidays and celebration days and every days!

If you weren't aware, Vietnamese has a lot of vowels. #spellingIsHard

In the red and blue maps illustrating popular and electoral votes, those blank spaces have people living there that matter. Flyover states. Empty land. You call the people there unimportant and not worthy of your effort. Have you considered seeing them as more than property tax payers?

One of the worst things about aging is that two shrinkflation toaster waffles are too many.

We can run anything down. Eventually. Be patient. Persist.

If you're an American and you don't have a manifesto or a screed about health insurance, you're one of Brian Thompson's peers.

I'm having an awful day because therapy sometimes does that. But I'm a veteran and the VA is there for me.

I pray the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was the right thing to do, will be followed in short order by the commutation of the death sentences of every person on federal death row, and that Leonard Peltier will at long last be released. #ClearTheRow #FreeLeonardPeltier

I don't actually care about the Hunter pardon. I figured Biden'd do it regardless of what he said. He tries to help his kids. He doesn't appoint them to his administration. He doesn't sell their books. He doesn't talk about how he thinks they're sexy. I care that he didn't pardon #LeonardPeltier

There are people in the US who have never seen a Waffle House, let alone been to one. A staple of our culture absent from the northwest half of our country. To them, the WHDI is merely metaphor.

What is the character of an American?

The original multi tool. No one will convince me otherwise. (Not oc)

In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

We're going to be tested for the next four years. Can we dig deep, find the strength to preserve? Can we stick through it long enough to say I told you so?
