The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

#NationalBlackDogDay intends to bring awareness to black dog syndrome, a phenomenon in which black dogs are passed over for adoption in favor of lighter-colored dogs, simply because their sweet features may not stand out against their dark fur. Black dogs are just as loving & silly as other dogs. 🐾

Holly the #therapydog hopes you will celebrate #NationalBlackDogDay by adopting a black dog. They are frequently passed over in favor of blond or brown dogs, and are often the last dogs adopted. Please consider sharing Holly’s photo to encourage your friends to rescue a lovable black dog today!

The good men, the friends and lovers even, say to me later "well why didn't you just tell that creep off" as though I wouldn't be accused of starting shit, as though they'd stand up for me and not interrogate me to make the creep comfortable instead. Experience tells me most men will do the latter.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Since we all really FELT that ancient pooch who wouldn’t drop the ball, I figured I may as well tell you a bit about dogs in ancient Mesopotamia. They leave traces everywhere, from bricks to burials to proverbs. Here’s a 4,000-year-old paw print of a pooch on a brick from ancient Ur
Mud brick with a cuneiform inscription near the middle and two paw prints on the left side.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

This is Maeve. She may be the sweetest, most good natured, most trusting dog I have ever met. She was abandoned in DC last week, and since I’m not able to adopt a dog now, I had to turn her over to the Brandywine Animal Shelter. I want to make sure this absolute delight of a dog finds a good home.

By the way, if we need a drone complex in DC, there are military bases nearby set up for that kind of thing. Fort McNair is three miles from the White House. Just kick out Stephen Miller, Hegseth, and Rubio, and build a drone center where they've been living in taxpayer housing.

The entire article is fantastic, but the writer's definition of a trad wife is *chef's kiss* perfection. "Those are conservative women who dress like the women in The Sound of Music, but without the opposition to the Anschluss."

The Heritage Foundation is infamous for organizing Project 2025. As I was investigating Heritage, I found that it promotes a network of Christian nationalist schools to parents. That network was founded by Doug Wilson, who is well-known for his extreme views. Read my investigative report here:

lol at this chart and the disclaimer
A Connect Four style chart labeled "Illustration of the Proportion of the Courses or Talks Offered by the University" with blue circles as "left-leaning" white circles as "most centered" and red circles as "right-leaning." There are many more blue circles. The disclaimer on the side reads "Note: the proportions shown here are purely illustrative and may not correspond to the actual proportions of course of talk offerings."
