Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Nobody tell Elon that “the guy I got elected president is a child rapist and I’ve known it all along” is not the sick own he thinks it is.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Free Tallboys & Cowboys on Horseback: Urban Legends We Tell SXSW Visitors About Old Austin A lot has changed in Austin since South by Southwest started in 1987. And locals will remind you how every chance they get.
