My husband's team holiday party is a Capital Grill because he works with some super classy folks. My team holiday party is at Dave & Busters because we're a bunch of nerds wanting to play arcade games 🤣
Trying to fall asleep between two snoring dudes. One is snoring too loudly and the other sometimes stops snoring loud enough so I get up panicked checking that he's breathing.
I know we're getting old when @aspookydave and I went to a live podcast showing last night, and his first comment was "I thought this was only from 8-9pm, it goes later than that?!" and my first comment was "this is a podcast showing, why are these no seats to sit in?!"
Parenthood is starting 15 tasks, forgetting all 15 before you finish them, coming up with a new list of 15, thinking you're finally done with them, and then as you get ready for bed realizing you forgot basic shit like making bottles so your baby can actually eat the next day.
@aspookydave This is the most Australian shit I've ever seen like why does he have multiple boomerangs and why is he willing to use them both to assault the other driver / car?! How many more are in his trunk?!
Today is my last day as the guy who spins Kamala Harris around 25 times before pushing her into the room for her interviews. It has been an incredible opportunity and I’m sad to leave it.
The white women who evoke Handmaids Tale imagery in this moment are also complicit because they waited until they could see themselves in the things Black, Indigenous and people of color have been experiencing since this countries inception in order to get upset rather
western cultures believe we must be alive for a purpose. to work, to make money. some indigenous cultures believe we're alive just as nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful & strange. we don't need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness.
We need to stop calling the wealthy the “elite” they’re not better than us. We need to change it to “the predator class” because people that wealthy, buying college admissions, controlling housing, etc are predatory people.
I’ll take it a step further and say if you’re only teaching your kids “we’re all equal” and not intentionally instructing them to call out racist behavior among their peers when they see it then you’re still failing as a parent
For 60 YEARS...the U.S has blamed black moms for everything their kids do or don't do. "It starts at home". Meanwhile it's like 18 year old mass shooters just...appear out of thin air. Nobody is asking yall "where is that child's momma?" And it SHOWS.
White women, a privilege you've probably never thought of:
White boys and men commit most mass shootings. Notice how there's nobody asking you how you raise your kids. There's no nonprofit reports blaming you for societal problems.
Black moms don't get that luxury.
“Food desert” implies natural occurrence. I prefer the term “food apartheid” because it speaks to the policy decisions that created the conditions that exist in a hyper segregated, redlined community such as East Buffalo.
Pregnancy dreams being vivid & weird af are no joke. In last night's dream I was at the hospital in labor. Waluigi decided to knock the hospital all the way to the moon. Then a Vileplume showed & was spitting out spores & I had to chase it out so I could give birth in peace.
