One of my kid's toys is a little plushie seal. I made a joke that the seal likes to go clubbing and NOBODY GROANED. Not even a little. Honestly why do I bother sometimes?

YES!! 🙌

Sign outside a restaurant saying: "no (n-word, hard r) Mexicans Portorican Or dogs Allowed" This is a restaurant in the 1960s in Texas. In the picture there is a lady posing with her kid wearing a KKK white robe.

"why stand in unity with black folks and celebrate BHM when you're not black?"

1st of all because I'm a decent human being? Like, bare minimum stuff here.

Secondly, because these mofos think of us as less than dogs. And we stand together because we shall not be divided, ever.

he’s a cutie patootie even if he’s a stinker 😂

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

nope, me either.

what does it feel like to have actual coworkers in physical proximity to you? i have forgotten

i remember reading about a healthcare algorithm that led to disproportionately negative health outcomes for black and brown people because it was pulling from data that was inherently deeply skewed by racism. AI is no different unfortunately, because it can only pull from available data.

wondering if i could get my insurance to cover rhinoplasty to correct my dented nose if i can show it causes breathing issues 🤔

my ex liked to go to those things, but i haven’t gone (or even been invited) since we split up 😆

Yeah, I didn't watch the Half Time show.

I also didn't watch the first half.

And I definitely skipped the last half.

This has been your annual "I don't watch football" post. Looking forward to making another one next year.
