I do sing the anthem (off-key, and with a suspect falsetto for that high note. Hey, we can't all be Prince! Some of us have to be Barry White. OK Biz Markie).

But I'm making an informed choice, because I know white US history.

I don't judge Black folk or folk of any color that choose not to sing it, as "un-American" or "un-patriotic."

For some folk, American patriotism means unquestioning loyalty to the ideals of a white supremacist America. For them, anti-racism itself, is anti-America.

So, according to some people called “doctors,” you can avoid hangovers by not drinking the night before.

Yeah, like I’m gonna fall for that!

If you do not believe in scientific theory, test them out and prove them wrong. No scientist would argue with the results proven time and time again again.

Start with the theory of gravity.

Powerful. Simple. Truth.

Stuff that looks like Kyrsten Sinema’s #SOTU yellow dress

"Deacon, I told you not to throw rocks. Why did you throw rocks??"

"Because I'm Deacon and I throw rocks."

I've never been shut down my such simple and forcefully obvious truth in my entire life.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Delivers The Christian Fascist White Grievance Incel Shut-In SOTU Response - Wonkette https://www.wonkette.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-state-of-the-union-responsesarah-huckabee-sanders-state-of-the-union-response

I finally watched the #gop response to the Address #darkbrandon gave the country.

Like she did in the last Administration, #huckabee still lies.

How can people who claim to be Christian look at themselves in the mirror after telling these falsehoods. There is a Commandment against lying, right?

I call today’s look, ‘I can’t find my lint roller, but I’m fucking wearing these black pants anyway.’

Last Sunday afternoon, my wife and I decided to play a game of Risk.

Or as she describes it, showing me some clothes that she bought to “see what I think”.

Teaching about the Holocaust should be mandatory. No exceptions just because it might shock students. It is horrific, all decent young people need to know this.

@ScottSoCal I’ll need to schedule some time for a lunch-and-learn so I can be more effective at not being sick

New name for the type of cishet white leftist who says shit like "the only struggle is class struggle" while ignoring issues only people of color experiences.

It's not one of the main time machine destinations but I think it would be pretty tight to pop over to november 13, 1833, and check out the leonid meteor shower, which hit an estimated 100,000 meteors per hour at its peak

I think website's finished enough now to start mentioning the url, so...

*quietly whispers* "tadaaa...."

It's just a place to be able to point to separate from social media, but there are more than a few new and better pictures, and I'm happy it's now both Dutch and English. So enjoy if you want to look around .

(I'm also pretty chuffed that it's .art now, instead of .nl).

Good boii greeting
