I am doing a training course where white English people in a video slowly explain “equality, diversity, and inclusion, or EDI” to me. It is making me long for the sweet embrace of death.

Time to ask for a little help. My partner has been looking for a job in his field for over a year now and the incomes we’ve cobbled together without it aren’t quite adding up. It looks like I will have to start looking for copywriting/content design work again as well gofund.me/6755c4d8b

And for thou wast a spirit too delicate To act her earthy and abhorred commands, Refusing her grand fucks , she did confine thee, By help of her more potent ministers And in her most unmitigable rage Into a cloven pine, within which rift Imprisoned thou didst painfully remain A dozen years

I just learned about the “Ferris is from Cameron’s imagination” fan theory… and it doesn’t make any sense. Not only is Ferris the point of view character for most of the film, Jeanie and Mr Rooney’s subplots revolve around personal vendettas against him. Are they also not real?

Saw Do the Right Thing at the GFT Some takes: 1) haring Branford Marsalis’ version of Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing in the opening made me cry 2) forgot Martin Lawrence was in it 3) Buggin’ Out is complains about Sal’s Wall of Fame and Sal says Italian Americans only; it occurred Buggin’s actor counts

Why would evil imply competence? Have you *seen* the US lately? Countless evil chucklefucks tripping over their dicks like Hell’s Keystone Kops.

Laughed for about five minutes solid about Tommy Tuberville worrying that flight attendants and pilots of commercial airlines might be furries. Senator, wouldn’t your time be better served pressuring Boeing to stop building planes that fall out of the sky?

I logged into twitter and saw discourse about the white lady with a durag. Dunno why she called it secular hijab, being from Louisiana she could have invented the casual tignon.

Mule is a really good album, but for someone who wears a mask and uses a pseudonym, I feel like Orville Peck has been laid bare

Stumbled on redditors talking about my book. One of them asserted only 5 out of 10 stories had queer characters. There’s only one story without an explicitly queer character prominently featured, and he’s queer too.

American history shows us that any change to the status quo is met with violent reprisals from the hegemony. Reconstruction? Jim Crow. De-segregation? Redlining. Closure of public pools. End to free universities. Patience is not the answer. Fighting for change is.
