Why ben thei so numerous
The songes about rainbowes
And what ys on the othir syde?
"Rainbowes are visiounes
Yet onlye illusiounes,
And rainbowes have no thynge to hyde."

As we speak, I have The Gilded Age on while I do some repetitive tasks. I might as well be listening to the radio. Apparently they’re using different tones for different households, but I literally cannot see DenΓ©e Benton! At all!

β€œWe are not happy with the change in government, as many aren’t. We will just leave it at that, I guess. It feels very unsettled there,” says Gwen.

Same. Also, I still have some of my American Apparel stuff. They had a big impact on manufacturing, branding, and public awareness of textile production. Also, he’s gross.

Whaaaaat but also is he offering healthcare, massages (not by him I hope), English classes? Curious to see how he shows up for labor this time around.

This is fat shaming, though. Internalized fatphobia is vicious. I hate ICE and Trump too but their body fat is irrelevant to my hatred. Yes, even though they are hypocrites who demand fantasy physical fitness standards while not appearing to be CrossFit freaks themselves.

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including β€œbiological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

It's just always so cheap. I suppose it wouldn't be any better if they truly committed, but these Party City displays of mock opulence just really underscore how stupid and vapid this all is for me.

β€œβ€¦ICE’s recruitment push is so sloppy that the administration effectively has no idea who’s joining the agency’s ranks. We’re all, collectively, in the dark about whom the state is arming, tasking with the most sensitive of law enforcement work, and then sending into America’s streets.”

Even just a name can put in motion efforts that get someone released. If they're a citizen, we can get them jail support. If they're an immigrant, there are groups working overtime to file habeas petitions before they're whisked out of state. But it starts with a name.

I know, just letting you know that your U.S. fans will be startled because it’s an awful word here.

That word doesn’t really work with a U.S. audience. Lovely clothes though!

People Magazine is incredibly clear eyed about ICE being a terrorist organization. I’ll probably buy a subscription because of it:
