#throwbackthursday My dad and me at my sister's wedding. I didn't wear the dress again and the tux was rented, but he wore that gorilla suit all the time. He used to put it on to go grocery shopping.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today released a new ICE recruiting poster, under the stilted and sexist tagline "which way, American man?" Why did they use that word language? Because it's a dog whistle, something ordinary humans won't notice but that those […] [Original post on c.im]

I should pin this. It's my biggest pet peeve on social media, one you've heard me discuss here often. And I see I'm in good company. The various versions of "surprised" replies (I get them constantly) are, IMHO, lazy, condescending, and meaningless. Enraged? […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

#colbert is not silenced, this vehicle just won't be the one he uses in the future. Nothing about his career and about how he feels about power and taking care of his "least brothers" suggests that he is going to close his mouth, lick his wounds, and go home. As for DJT, how small he looks.
