I had a student last year who told me that I “was from the 1900s” and my jaw dropped when: 1. I realized he was absolutely correct 2. I had never even considered it from that perspective Then I told him that I was just going to get in my covered wagon and go die of dysentery on the Oregon Trail.💀

Every time I see a Republican make absolutely batshit claims like this I immediately think they’re trying to audition for a cabinet position (so much turnover!) or getting ideas about being the next VP on the ballot. The wilder the claim, all the better to get Trump’s (Natalie’s) attention.

I saw him last Friday when he opened for Pitbull and that song had everyone dancing their asses off! He had to instruct part of the crowd which direction the window and wall were (which was hilarious to those of us of a certain age).

While I haven’t been able to help as much as I wish my public high school teacher salary would allow, if you are able to help PLEASE do. If you care about social justice, working to get unlawfully detained folks out of ICE custody, or the insanely cute hounds & kitty twins…please help if you can.💜

Your experience and words are more than enough, and for anyone to expect you to do the heavy lifting for them (which is literally being informed) is ridiculous.

If I’m at a concert, I fully expect every row to stand up. I respect any person’s choice to stay seated, but give zero fucks for anyone who is pissed off because I’m choosing to stand and dance in the seat that I paid for. And if I want to sit and my view is obstructed? That’s on ME for my choice.

I ate this Monte Cristo in McMinnville, OR in June 9, 2022 & it is one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. My friends that were on that trip with me & I STILL talk about it. The green beans & strawberries made it even better somehow. 15/10 dream of having it again

Plenty of folks saying vote blue no matter who, but if that who isn’t willing to stand ten toes down for trans people then they are not guaranteed my vote. JFC, the trans community should be accepted and protected…just as all who live in the US should be (minus this fascist administration).

Not only should there be zero lunch debt, knowing how little inmates are paid (which is a whole other separate, very long conversation) this story hits so much harder. These men chose the we before the me…unlike any members of this current bullshit administration.

Black Americans are being found hanging in 2026. For generations, Black people were lynched while institutions stood by and did nothing. We cannot repeat that history. I’m demanding a full investigation from the DOJ.

Dolly Parton dying hits so hard. She felt like one of those figures who always was and always will be. She felt like America when it was trying to be the place it promised to be. As beloved as her music is, it’s even better than people give it credit for. There won’t be another one like her.

Or, perhaps take a minute to consider why this is offensive instead of immediately being defensive. Your “intention” doesn’t excuse the harm it does. The angry Black man/woman stereotype is racist and harmful because it paints Black people as aggressive, and absolves white people of unfounded fears.

Adnama Rentlek @sparklywordnerd.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Or maybe consider that you are speaking to a Black man in America, where the term was used during the Jim Crow era specifically to demean Black men as children who needed to be reminded of their “place.” It is racist AF and instead of acknowledging the harm, you’re insisting otherwise. Do better.

Yep, that was Alice Paul at the Occoquan Workhouse in VA. “Iron Jawed Angels” shows the brutality of this, and every time I show it in my Women’s Studies classes students are horrified (rightfully so).

Choosing not to vote this November is choosing to: Support Trump's war with Iran. Support Trump's war on women's rights. Support Trump's obscene corruption. Support Trump's inflationary tariffs. Support Trump's campaign to keep the Epstein files hidden. Support Trump's war on democracy.
