It’s really important to the rich that the middle class believe poverty is a moral failure.
Let me repeat that for people in the back:
IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE RICH THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEE POVERTY AS A MORAL FAILURE AND NOT A SYSTEMIC AND SOCIETAL FAILURE.

My partner just said that he doesn’t understand how there are so many beauty parlors near here with so little evidence of anyone taking their appearance seriously.
He’s not wrong but 💀

Trying to make chocolate chip cookies for my inlaws. It simply never occurred to me the bottleneck would be finding chocolate chips.

I didn’t bring my cross stitch project on this trip because I didn’t want to lose or tangle anything and I didn’t think I’d have time to work on it. Yesterday, that bummed me out. Today, though, I’ve had a realistic view of my available lighting and… not bringing it was correct.

He doesn’t talk about grift because he thinks everyone does it. He doesn’t talk about bribes or tax evasion because everyone does it. These things are nbd.
He points fingers about autopen and illegal orders because he thinks not everyone did that and he needs others to be guilty with him.

This man stopped us before security and told us to follow him. He took us past the train we took to get to the airport, down 2 escalators, across 2 other big spaces. And we all followed him on nothing more than the promise of a shorter security line.
Anyway, I don’t seem to have been trafficked.

I really appreciate that Living Single had a whole episode about Rejean going vegetarian and then afterwards she was just vegetarian without issue. Like they had the omnivores have a weird reaction and then everyone just moved on and Rejean stayed vegetarian.
That show holds up.

I bought an absurd amount of candy from Peter’s gourmet and wrapped them and put them under the tree so they can be a little surprise whenever one of us feels like a treat is warranted. Also it looks like we have presents which we don’t obviously- it’s still November.

The hardest part of the holiday is figuring out how to move the plants around so we can put up the holiday tree. There’s only the one window and the rest of the room is seating or the books/gaming/tv situation. So yeah there’s *technically* space for that guy there but can it go 2 months there?

I’m supposed to fly later this week but my stylist has already left for Paris! We thought for sure my loungewear from the Row would be fine - Rhianna wore it! - but I guess Secretary Duffy disagrees and I have to go find some acceptable daywear. Ugh. I hope those ingrates at TSA appreciate it.

Hot take: those of us NOT in the military are also supposed to reject illegal orders. If my boss tells me to do some fraud, I’m supposed to say no. If Pastor Todd insists that those photos are fine, I don’t have to take his word for it. Pedestrians slow to cross? I won’t be running them down, Dad.

My partner: “Why do I have to explain my travel plans to my parents *again*?!? I’m an adult. I know how to travel.”
Also my partner: “Our adult nephew cannot possibly be expected to get from the airport to the hotel using readily available mass transit. We’ll have to meet him.”

1/ It should be forgiven. It should be forgotten. If she spoke of it again, the sins would be hers, she was told.
But she could never forget. And neither could the other girls.

Quiet, piggy - it’s fine that journalist was killed because I like the guy who killed him.
Quiet, piggy - the human traffickers are talking.
Quiet, piggy - two legs good, four legs bad.
Don’t piss “quiet piggy” onto his eventual grave. The Steele dossier said he’s into that.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
