Predator handshake meme format with me a human person on SSRIs on one side and my two brachycephalic dogs on the other side with "hating this heatwave" in the middle
@kayteterry I had a high school English teacher who clocked *something* in me in my teens and ended up lending me a bunch of Burroughs books on the low, which seems like the sort thing that would straight up get someone fired these days the more I think about it.
@BoneJail I was just thinking about MCD after bumping some songs from Evil Island which led to a rabbit hole of clips of PNW indie cinema classic EDGE OF QUARREL starring Cody from EI/Blood Brothers, a bunch of the MCD folks and pretty much every hardcore kid in Seattle at the time

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston got booed by members of the Black community on Saturday night as he gave remarks at the African Heritage Month Gala in Halifax.
Politicians got comfortable; theyโve been able to stroll into churches and events in the Black community without pushback and hide behind our fear of violating respectability politics. They got used to laundering themselves on our backs. But Houston messed with the money.
