Grace Pritchard Burson

Is she here?? I want to follow her

That's, like, the whole ethos of Teach for America

And he's much more like his old self when it comes to politics. Conservative but not hateful. But I think he spent a couple years in the hateful place and I was afraid he would never come out. Seeing that gives me a little hope.

Unless Canada Post delivers a miracle first thing tomorrow morning, it looks like I will be spending my birthday without a working dishwasher, a fact that I deeply resent.

Oh nooooooo!! Food poisoning is the worst! I hope it's the kind that passes quickly!!

Remembering when I was very little and hearing about Mennonites living separate from the rest of society, and mishearing it as "men, and knights" and thinking they must be having the best fucking time over there

Everything I've seen about/from her indicates that she is extremely awesome.

Entirely apart from the incredible medical abuse and the general trauma, they've cost her literally thousands of dollars over the next year or so by forcing her to feed her baby formula.

Aw, theatre kids are the best

Not only is nothing sacred; literally their central motive is profaning everything that decent people hold dear.

Update: the child is currently screeching with laughter from the bathtub and yelling at me about Weinersmith Enterprises and the good people of Luxembourg.

Even a stopped clock (Meloni) is right twice a day

OH MY GOODNESS HELLO JOE YOU ARE THE BEST PUPPER

These Christians have been against Christian nationalism all along. We just don't get the same headlines.

Nah, they were rich so the despot was happy to talk to them and try to coöpt them, but they're definitely going to be taking a different airline home under assumed identities.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Yeah, in French a literal translation would probably be something awkward like "rien que nous concerne sans nous" and they'd want to reinvent from first principles, but as a no more than intermediate speaker I wouldn't guess what that might look like (though I'd recognize it if I saw it!)

How dare anyone who is not a cishet abled white man be anything but a NPC??

... dare one ask about Line 3? 😂

Vancouverhenge!

A post from ViperThreat: Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house. From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on. This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you: You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room. One of the most surreal moments of my life.

Get a load of this. 😆

YES

I honestly don't understand how countries *without* birthright citizenship define that.

And Shadow & Bone

JUSTICE FOR KAOS

giant version of a traditional Swedish Yule goat figure made of straw, surrounded by spikes, illuminated in a snowy nighttime scene

Gävle Goat For those who stand out in the snow with a field of spikes around them, who wait for villagers to shoot their hearts with flaming arrows, for those who feed the jackdaws, voles, the burrows full of warm demanding creatures which gnaw and tear their flesh to pieces, for those who rise again just as the days are shortest, some holidays can be a burden. My mother and her mother and her mother died midwinter. O to be a seed again O to gambol by moonlight, my shadow dark as honey made from buckwheat flowers.

this time of year can be hard, especially if you're the Gävle goat 🐐 🔥 ❄️

Canada is suuuuuuper racist, against Indigenous people first and foremost but it certainly doesn't stop there

*laughs hollowly in Québec*

Nope. Humans are humans everywhere.
