@ShuckThatJive As yet another white person in this chain I don’t feel qualified to give a definitive answer, but I think that would be fine! As long as there are no stylized moustaches in the ensemble you should be good lol
@zohaaa05@blackfireproofs Spain violently conquered the native people of Mexico to make it a colony - it may have been seen as disrespectful to wave their flag on a Mexican stage.
God: Jessica, we’d like you to meet our new angel.
Jessica Walters: Who is it?

In Washtenaw - home of the University in Michigan and a Democratic stronghold with no significant Arab American presence - uncommitted is at 24 percent.
This is an enormous message from the Democratic base against Biden's support for Israel's war on Gaza.
This is an AMAZING opportunity for many and a wonderful thing to do! But I can’t help imagining what she could do with her remaining $10+ billion and getting mad that that’s even a thing

Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is now tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a former professor.
Gottesman, whose late husband was an early investor with Warren Buffett, has made it a condition of the gift that the college NOT change its name—an unusual requirement in a world where much smaller gifts often come with the requirement that the colleges be named after the donor.
Most students at the Einstein College of Medicine graduate with $200,000 in debt; they will now be free of that burden.

Just chatted with Boots Riley at a pre-Globes Vanity Fair party and got a fun scoop about his next film: It’s about a ring of female shoplifters, it shoots in the spring, and Neon will distribute
It is inexcusable for healthcare workers to infect their own patients with covid. The infection mortality rate of hospital-acquired covid is upwards of 10%. At a minimum, hospitals should report on these, like other, HAIs. The replies and QTs are 💔. So many victims!
I hope next year everyone forgets about the concept of “cringe” and decides to be corny as hell. Be as passionately heartfelt as you can about stuff you love. Where has apathy and cynicism gotten us? We’re all stressed, repressed, depressed
If you're thinking of donating something ever, ask yourself if you would be okay gifting that item, as-is, directly to a stranger. Would you be embarrassed? Then put that shit in textile recycling or throw it out. No one wants your trash.
