The Democratic Party will either be taken over by leftists with no relationship to corporate donors, a desire to fight fascism, and a relationship with the base or there will be a new party altogether. That’s the situation and the party apparatchik who think otherwise are fooling themselves.
The former makeup artist and skincare profesh in me needs to give all glory and praise to Ricky Martin’s surgeon, esthetician, skincare, and stem cell vitamin IV team. He looks even younger and fresher than he did at the age they’ve reversed him to!
i think people mad about bad bunny’s performance have never been forced to consider that not everything is for you
Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.
Absolutely.
Maybe Barbara at some point. But not the rest of them.
Liberation is a collective effort, not an individual one. An individual might stand as a symbol of liberation, but it is still a collective effort.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Been reading those “advice to 30 year olds” posts going round this place and I’m going to counter all the “call your mom” notes with the advice that saved my life: it is your mother’s responsibility to love and believe you and if she doesn’t and won’t then walk away. Your one and only life awaits.
I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.
I want those of us who are getting into our middle-aged years and beyond to understand that as cynical and sad as we might feel, we have a responsibility to ensure that those who come after us have the energy to go on, to be creative in their problem-solving, to believe change is possible.
It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.
so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration
I mean, only every single day! Except I do not like tea (coffee or whiskey will do just fine, thank you ❤️)
I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art
You yelled back “More like FUN PLANNING, you ding dongs!”, right?

Adoption is not social welfare. It is what happens because we *reject* social welfare—because we do *not* help those who need it most. Adoption is a *business*: the business of making affluent people into the parents of less fortunate people’s children.
It dawns on our protagonist, at 47 years of age, that the dear, important friendships that vanished overnight after all the time and love invested is less about the fickleness of others than her early insistence on being largely in community with folks with significant attachment wounds…
Can't believe I've been doing this for 12months!
