The whole architecture of American law inherently distrusts the competence and good intentions of law enforcement -- and *that's a good thing.* -OS

Police officers should feel disrespected. Our entire system of government was designed without respect for them. -OS

Nothing from the employer touches our personal shit. Hell. We don't answer emails unless we're in the office. -OS

It's shit like this (and knowing that its probably being worn by some awesome dork walking around UNT's campus) that prevents us from ever staying mad at Texas. -OS

While estrogen can certainly aid in the physical and mental health of trans and non-binary people, there is unfortunately no scientific evidence that it will make you stop romanticizing slavery. -OS

A retroactively applied "process" to the knee-jerk firing back on September 10. -OS

I just learned, Thomas Alter, tenured professor, has been terminated effective immediately. Shame on Texas State! We mst build support for Tom. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-tex...

Texas State upholds the firing of associate history professor Thomas Alter

Alter’s termination occurred on Sept. 10, stemming from his remarks at the Revolutionary Socialism Conference on Sept. 7.

When your job wants to give you a cell phone they're seeing if you're dumb enough to cuff yourself. -OS

Solidily wasted twenty minutes trying to explain to that doofus that a device that is wholly owned and controlled by my employer connecting to my home network is a Trojan Horse not a convenient benefit of my job. -OS

Just had a bizarre 30 minute standoff with someone from IT (who used to be a student, and allegedly learned about the history of labor from us) why we don't want a work-issued laptop, and why a device that's owned by our employer that goes home with us is not a good thing. -OS

They're easy to spot too because they're the god damn badasses all tricked out in their Houston Texans gear. -OS

The Chicano Squad is so historically recent all of them are still alive. They hang out at the Tacquerias on Navigation Blvd. You can find them on Sunday morning at Villa Arcos or Villa Maria. -OS

We think of this as being just part of the classic, bureaucratic stupidity of HPD. Right up there with the fact that HPD didn't have a single detective who coukd speak Spanish (IN **HOUSTON**) until the 1980s. -OS

The Houston version of breaking it off because you live in NY and they're bridge and tunnel is you live inside the loop and find out they in Jersey Village. Nope. Don't need that. -OS

Republicans will unfortunately get away with all kinds of horseshit they say about trans folks because its "new" and theres enough people who just don't know anybody or anything about it. But, Jesus Christ, you're not rolling back gay marriage without political consequences.
