Richard Smallwood, a gospel giant and songwriter known for classics like “Center of My Joy” and “Total Praise,” has died. He was 77

A lot of people expect more from Chappell Roan than they do from their own elected officials

Everybody should watch this video. 🩷

I love nature and having private moments and my man took that heavily into consideration when he proposed. No better place than the Grand Canyon. 😭💖

I will have a love like this in 2026

It’s going to be really interesting when we’re forced to look back at this time in politics and culture, figuring out how much of it was based on lies people told on the internet

I love the first pic bc my favorite genre is men earnestly yearning for their woman

oh no Laura shoot I can’t believe no one warned you, a Jewish woman, about this kind of thing, wow dang this must be super upsetting ok byeeeeee

You even gave him the chance to be normal WHY DO MEN

Christianity absolutely requires you to welcome immigrants. No exceptions. No “if they follow the law.” No “if they contribute economically.” No exceptions. Welcome them. Treat them as a citizen. Love them.

I want 2 best friends like the animes that raised me

How I desperately need blockbuster or a blockbuster type company to rid us of streaming as a concept

me, deep in schadenfreude:

seeing both Andrew Tate and Jake Paul get knocked out this weekend

On this day in 1986, white teens brutally beat two young Black men looking for assistance in Queens, New York. One of the Black men was struck and killed by a car while attempting to flee.

That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.

I did a thing. I was in nature.

You know that giddy, fuzzy, floating feeling you get when you’re in love, where you can’t stop thinking about them and you want to do any and everything possible to make them happy? I need to feel that way about me. I’m not doing enough to make myself happy.

He’s had a hard on for criminalizing people who are anywhere near drugs who is considered “non-white” since the 80s. I feel like he even was on Nixon’s line about it. But, Fox News is trynna do a “See you guys hate browns too!” with showing his old video from his response to George Bush Sr.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

It's astonishing that somehow we have whole swathes of the political class that have not managed to connect "everything seems like a scam now" to a useful political platform.

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

Katrina wasn’t just a storm—it was the product of centuries of extraction, environmental neglect, and ignored warnings. Our series traces how history and power shaped the disaster long before 2005. populareducationblog.substack.com/p/new-orlean...

Oh

Strippers are now the No. 1 donor of toys to children's hospital in Portland. This year, they broke their own record raising over $183,000 for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital having a successful Tata for Toys once again.

Sex workers really the fabric of the social order.

Everybody trying to make people have more children without addressing the reason people don't want them

Pauline Copes Johnson, a descendant of Harriet Tubman, has died at 98. She spent a lifetime guarding that legacy from the small city where Tubman spent her final years www.kolumnmagazine.com/2025/12/11/t...

I definitely think it’s homophobia but I do think there’s something to be said that straight men do treat women in performance for other straight men. There’s like a scholarly quote about this that always makes the rounds every now and again lol

They call abusive men gay. Short men gay. Cheating men gay. Men with too many kids gay. Men without kids gay. Married men gay. Non-married men of a certain age gay. But if you tell them it’s homophobia, they get mad. *I’m* tired of it. I can’t imagine how yall feel

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

The way my hero academia had an infinite better ending than attack on titan kills me lol, but golly gee that’s how you end a show!! 😭😭

Really? So now Kirk's murder is an "anti-Christian hate crime"? 350,000 churches in the US alone. Christians are hardly fucking oppressed. You want to see an "anti-Christian hate crime"? This is a fucking anti-Christian hate crime:

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status. So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

Unfortunately, under our Kavanaugh Stops regime, it is entirely rational for anyone who appears Hispanic to carry proof of citizenship at all times. The worst part is that it might not be enough: ICE/CBP keep arresting people who have proof of citizenship, refusing to accept its validity.

One of the things that gets me is all the democrats claiming we need an extensive investigation before Trump can be impeached. If he was literally anyone else, all the prosecutors would be cackling because they didn’t need to do any work since he just says all his crimes on national television.

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.

I’m so glad for the kids!! No idea why men want to become stingy to the point of hurting their own children to spite their ex but I love when it blows up in their face every time

Told my (ex)husband he could give me $400 a month for kids. He refused. Took him to court. Order was $600/month. He decided to escalate to next level. Now, the Order is $907/month.

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

They could never make me hate her lmao I’m not a part of her community but I am an ally 💀😭

Everything. Big things, small things, smart things, dumb things, regular things, unexpected things, old things, new things, important things, inconsequential things, every day things, out of the ordinary things, normal things, stranger things. All of it.

Gotta hit back with “when’s the last time you got tested”
