I went to sleep in Copenhagen, had a full nightโ€™s sleep, woke up and the game was STILL ON.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

โ€œCriminalize reproductive health and miscarriagesโ€, seems to be a popular answer these days.

Interesting maybe we didnโ€™t either. Would certainly explain why we didnโ€™t listen lol

I was just pointing out to my husband that my family NEVER listened to AM radio in the car when I was a yout. He doesnโ€™t believe me.

Possibly we talked to each other instead, I am not sure.

Now you are just metacorrecting, right? Mr. Dreyer got his point across, but here you are correcting him.

My husband points out that โ€Once in a Lifetimeโ€ (#TalkingHeads, 1980) was closer in time to The Andrews Sistersโ€™ โ€œBoogie Woogie Bugle Boyโ€ than to the present day.

He was wearing this historic t-shirt when he figured this out.

On one side of the courthouse, a Confederate monument; on the other, a โ€œwe enslaved people here, sorryโ€ only w/o the sorry.

Confederate monument still up

I donโ€™t understand why such folks think they invented being oppressed.

Other than โ€œwe invented EVERYthing.โ€

Agreed! I cant for the life of me figure out why they wasted so much time on the bitchy drama and almost none on construction and design.

Favorite game with my #FashionHistory daughter when travelling: a) text photos of portraits at museums b) competing guesses c) smallest deviation wins

Today at the Royal Palace in Stockholm I found this one, not a challenge as to date (1812), but itโ€™s really lovely (zoom in for sleeve detail)

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college withโ€™s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and heโ€™s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I almost always have a spare ticket if you are ever short as my son has moved to LA. (This year we are in Denmark)

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.

If weโ€™re renaming departments and calling the DOD the โ€œDepartment of Warโ€, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the โ€œDepartment of Revengeโ€

Yes and to think that people are outsourcing reading comprehension to AI. It really shows these days.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyoneโ€™s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

I think โ€œpreferenceโ€ pretty much has that covered.

I wasnโ€™t first gen, but I was kinda one and a half; my dad extracted himself from the family farm with the GI Bill post Korea. I really completely bought the โ€œeducation is your way outโ€ thing, including the โ€œfancy education is your all-the-way out.โ€

If you were his MOTHER, and he were six years old, you could perhaps pat him on the head for the apology. As it stands, he has only revealed bigotry and a sense of self preservation.

Cmon we want better from you.
