Just muted the words "distract" and "distraction." It's called "self care," people!

Was the inverse true when Obama was president? Why is only one side ever held to any responsibility for the impact of their views on others?

Many Trumpers have made it very clear that contempt for us was their reason for voting him in.

Centrist Dems are even tapping into it for potential votes.

Gonna purge my wardrobe, fix my bleach job and wrap it up with some Foucault's "Truth and Juridical Forms" to create some order out of all this chaos.

I don't agree with that. All sorts of folks with all sorts of beliefs do this. It may be the main driver but it's not the only one.

I think this is just oversimplified. They also want to do those other things. They are not all about the other thing. And what mindset is it that says mass murder through war is less bad than child sex trafficking? Both are awful.

It's not just white people, unfortunately.

I can't with this "everything is a distraction" discourse. People can do more than one awful thing at a time and more than one thing at a time can be awful.

What is the psychology of this gospel?

Watching the documentary series, "Neighbors" and wow, there sure are a lot of people who believe absolute nonsense and/or are terrible/annoying.

I may be in a bubble as someone in higher ed, but I think staying in it seems like the right idea, lol

How to know you're a toxic person who is awful to work with.

I don't know about you all, but I'm not doing well. My mental health is in the toilet.

If you didn't already know I'm a librarian, this necklace is a dead giveaway.

Looks like the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe bought Warner Brothers. I can't imagine what could go wrong. #DoctorWho #WarnerBrothers

As someone whose name is spelled incorrectly almost daily, I feel the need to correct people who misspell Flavor Flav's name.

I mean, they've only had four decades of his celebrity to get it right.

If your response to Rep. Al Green's sign is to "well akshually..." please log off the internet forever for the good of humankind.

Sometimes, I remember the pre-internet world and I miss it. I was only an adult a few years before the dot com revolution but there was a sense of mystery and excitement and a desire to unmask it.

Maybe I'm just getting older.

Same! I was busy enjoying a home cooked meal of chicken and farro. Basically, the classic Black dish of chicken and rice but with farro instead.

Trying to get my grains!

Flavor Flav is the real hero we need. I'm so proud he stands up for our athletes.

Time to face this fact. Nothing is more weak than needing women to be submissive to make up for the fact that you are.

Woman touching a pile of reparations money I deserve for people spelling my not-that-difficult name wrong.

Two dollars for each time the spelling is in text right in front of them when they do it.
