I like my margaritas on the rocks no salt. Socially awkward yet also socially conscious. Just glad when I make it through the day and both socks match.

Trump held up a printed picture of people lifting body bags and said, "These are all white farmers that are being buried.” The image actually shows humanitarian workers burying bodies in the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo. They are not white, not farmers, and not South African.

When I was born, women needed a man's co-signature to have a credit card. Many women born more recently don't understand just how far we have come. Unfortunately, many don't realize how far we still have to go. This kind of crap is still embedded in our system, and it is getting worse again.

This isn’t getting nearly enough attention. Estonian navy is stopped at intercepting a shadow fleet vessel because a Russian Sukhoi Su-35 violated Estonian air space. This reduces even the implausible deniability to 0, which Russia has been relying on with the shadow fleet.
