Got an unexpected result for my Dad’s biopsy, so weird and uncomfortable

Why you should care about other people

Stir fry because prep takes forever, it cooks in 5 minutes, and is awesome

Biopic of Robert Smalls. Badass that stole a Confederate ship with a bunch of fellow slaves, rose to an officer rank in the Union navy, and before reconstruction ended implemented the first free public school program in the US and became a member of Congress

Telling the that if it wasn’t for (minority, trans, whatever scapegoat of the day) their life would be so much better. Grievance is a big part of their brand

Presidents don’t own the country.

It doesn’t belong to them.

When is the next gathering of the Wide Awakes?

We’re really gonna need Reconstruction 2.0
