(Cognitive behavioral therapy enjoyer Lowly just cut off in traffic) Think positively. He is probably in a rush for a reason. Maybe he’s late for a job interview. Maybe his wife is giving birth Lowly: I’m da king of da highway

My turn…Kids went to bed late (because who wouldn’t be sad about missing me), sleepless night, and then woke up early to catch my flight to my first #monktoberfest 💙. See you on the boat!

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Thinking again about all the small acts of community to remember people who died… The monument for Silverio that hijas del pueblo continually maintain A bouquet of flowers for a neighbor near the spot he liked to sit outside the post office. A ghost bike for a cyclist like Juan…

Road side monument for Silverio Villegas Gonzalez who was killed by federal ICE agents

If your argument against changes to the zoning code is that it would allow naturally occurring affordable housing to be demolished, your quarrel is not with advocates for an updated zoning code. Your quarrel is with the status quo.

Moral panics displace fear of real harms that people don't want to address by projecting that fear onto someone else & using it as an excuse to perpetrate harm against those people while making the actual problem worse by deflecting from it & helping people ignore it. This is a classic moral panic.

A commenter on the local FB group largely opposed to this change really typed (with their government name): “A riot is the language of the unheard” (MLK) as an explanation for the rowdy/behavior. …in case you weee wondering if white liberals still were selectively quoting MLK.
