My wife decided to do a double-play-for-the-holiday special edition of Doing Olivia’s Makeup (still workshopping the name, but can’t help feeling the acronym may be appropriate at least), & in honor of a nice sunny day after the recent storms went with a rainbow theme #transjoy

I hope your day was Merry and bright and you found reasons to love yourself just as you are. You are beautiful as you are. ❤️

What fresh hell is this?

Well, dadgum! Busted for lying to pad your resume and reputation?!?!

This Republican must be planning a run for the White House!

I want to go back in time to a year before all of my friends were pregnant and constantly talking about being pregnant.

Oh, to be 12 again.

Nobody gives an eighth of a fuck that Pence is running for President. He's a spineless non-entity, like a beached jellyfish you'd recoil from at the beach, going "Aughhh!" Though I'm all in favor of piling Republican money onto useless bonfires. #politics

GOP: “We’re not White Christian Nationalists!”

You: Are you white?
GOP: Yes

You: Are you Christian?
GOP: Yes

You: Do you support ‘America First’ nationalism?
GOP: Yes

GOP: “But we’re not White Christian Nationalists!”

@godpod it was my grandmother's birthday before that nonsense, so this year I'm planning as are the rest of my family in thinking about grandma white!

Sunset views from Smithwick, Texas, this evening. Standing on the gravel road at the top of the hill. Views are N, E, S, and W in order.

I don’t know whether Mike Pence is running for president, but I do know we’ve already had six years with Pence as a national figure and at best, they were underwhelming.

We are literally at six Pence, none the richer.

Reminder: Elon Musk personally being sued by Tesla shareholders for destroying value of the company. Expect many more of these lawsuits https://t.co/vOsNoeGiWx

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.

Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.

@ScottSoCal @godpod Mother is his VP candidate...

This is #Zelensky as he was dressed to speak to a joint session of the US Congress. A military commander-in-chief wearing what amounts to dress battle fatigues with the crest of his nation. It's obvious this was the image he wanted to project.

A leader at war.

Cowardly Republicans who carry water for #Putin have been dogpiling him for not wearing a suit. Which reminds me a lot of Republicans dragging President Obama for wearing the wrong color suit.

In a saner society, every one of these Republican culture war gambits would be recognized for what they are: red herrings. Use of red herrings means you've conceded the main argument. That is, if you have any self-respect or dignity.

People on the left often make the mistake of trying to seriously engage the red herring instead of just shaming the person for being obtuse and intellectually dishonest

We know why Zelensky made the choice he made. And so do Republicans.

If I was from Arkansas, I would be worried about the governor of my state one day walking right up to the podium and saying, “My daddy says I’m the best at French kissing.”
