All this weird shit about “is Bridgerton normalizing mixed-weight relationships” is kind of ignoring that most TV romances are between two hot people and Nicola Coughlan is really hot

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Several other suggestions: (I like showing off my workplace environment.) Special mention to Gray Whale (great dirty martini), Awayuki (it’s strawberries!!), Bayab (smells like pineapples!), St George Terroir (NorCal plants!), Sweet Gwendoline (just delish!), Diega Rosa (Mexican! Like Perfume!).

Might just fuck around and admit between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what
