Miz M learned to sing Africa by Toto in music class today. I have crumbled to dust.

Long but very important thread. Ebola outbreaks will not be ended by "leaving the reservoir alone". Humans interface with nature, including in ways we don't notice. Pretending "if only people in Africa would leave the forests alone we'd all be fine" is pretty patronizing 😳

Spent an hour and 20 min or so on a trip to ALDI because everyone else in RI also was trying to get their bread and milk this evening.

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing
photo showing the rescuers saving the dog, next to the statue commemorating themcloseup on the base of the statue, showing a dog and a man in a ball cap the top of the statue, where the person at the top of the slope has his hand outstretched so the viewer can "help" pull him up

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.
An instagram post by Sarah Michelle Gellar, where she shares a screenshot of a tweet by user @godimsuchadyke. 

The tweet is a photo of Buffy and Faith standing close together lesbianly from Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the caption "this was my heated rivalry". 

Sarah thanks user @godimsuchadyke in the caption of her post.

Once you’ve got your tickets locked in (fingers crossed for us all!), hit me up, and I can make sure you have a good place to stay, good places to eat, and good ways to get around and to the venue. It’s the Army-specific travel planning service you never knew you needed but will make life easier!
