It’s β€œthe work” in the sense of the seated menu/flow of courses, not the main course! But this is one of my favorite pluralization quirks

People did similar coverage for Renee Good and I do absolutely believe that it makes a difference. It reaches a lot of low-info voters who don’t consume much political media, and it isn’t framed as political news coverage. it’s framed, correctly, as coverage of an innocent person’s murder

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

This is the same exact awakening you will need to have about your whiteness, your masculinity, your straightness, your wealth, whatever power-holding facet of your identity you struggle to own the weight of.

Hey you know that uncomfortable, existentially reorienting realization you might be having right now that America is harmful, has always been harmful, is built on harm β€” and you are in & of it, even as you might choose to rage against it?

It finally happened. My 3yo asked me β€œwhy does the sun shine?” and I responded by conversationally reciting the entire lyrics of the TMBG song

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking β€œare we the baddies?”

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

I haven’t had a CFA sandwich in decades but I once convinced them to give me a full bun of pickles and it *tasted* better but it *wasn’t* better, if that makes sense

It’s all about the yearning for more pickle. The hope.

Girl if your mid-priced perfume is so rarefied and exclusive and sold-out and infinite-waitlisted and precious why are you advertising it on goddamn instagram

This seems not super relevant to my continent of residence, but note taken!

Unfortunately, all it implies is that that the official name of the sandwich is β€œFilet-o-Fish” and names are pluralized at the terminus

The very post that inspired me :) (plus Bonnie’s did one as a special this past weekend, and the Mommy Pai’s tofu version is so good)
