Weird how the liar was lying.

So, so weird.

Most of them bring the caucacity to the table.

At least you know where you stand, with chimps. They won't tell you they have no interest in flinging fences, and then fling fences at your face.

And on a day where many people lost an hour to the time change.

Feels especially symbolic this year.

There is no preventing this from getting worse before it gets better, but impressive him and imprisoning him would be a start.

Weird, I have no problem answering that question while abroad, but maybe that's because I didn't vote for the pedophile.

VERY Late to the WWII party to begin with.

And Central and South America as well as SE Asia (as will as most Black and queer Americans) would disagree with your assessment. The US squandered decades of the goodwill it had in just a handful of years, and will never recover it again.

You do realize a third of the nation tried to do him from getting into power again, which he did only with the help of tech and media oligarchs and decades of disinformation combined with voter disenfranchisement, right?

If I had his attitude, I wouldn't have been tear gassed at protests.

"Just asking" guys are the same ones that say something horrible and then say that they were "just joking."

Pretty sure Iranians understand that we are at war (same way Vietnamese understood we were at war, regardless of how pedants want to phrase it.

The rigorous curricular standards that had children in Texas reading about the enslaved as "workers" and "immigrants" and never referred to their enslavement? Or the ones in Connecticut which taught children that slaves were treated "like family members"?

Those continue to be the only public figures I've ever cried for, on learning of their passing.

I suppose if I'd been older for Bob Ross or Mr. Rogers, I would have cried at their passing, too.

The world needs more people like those 4.

With the post office already no longer post marking mail the day it is deposited unless specifically asked at the counter (hm which state and countries' votes will be stamped after election regardless of dropoff), and warning now about having to cut staff and services just in time for the election?

With Musk and Thiel and Russia having their hooks in every computer system the government? And Musk already having been given credit for Trump winning Pennsylvania?

With the SAVE Act creating an insurmountably late poll tax on every person who has who changed their name unless they can produce original documents or a passport (ie many transpeople, some escaping abuse, and most married women)?

And to profiteer. Let's not forget who are making a ton of money off this shameful, lethal, disgusting, wholly reprehensible distraction.

Cartoon of a blindfolded Lady Justice being held down by make arms wearing a black suit and which shirt cuffs with the GOP elephant on them. Her eyebrows are shown raised in concern over the blindfold, her scales are on the ground next to her head as one of the man's hands hold her wrist next to the scales, and the other is over her mouth, holding her down and preventing her from crying out for help

Indeed. This is several years old, but continues to be disturbingly on point.

#BarefootKuata resort in #Fiji offers a bull #shark dive experience which even those not certified can do. Passionate marine biologists and expert divemasters curate the absolutely incredible experience, which I can't recommend highly enough. ๐Ÿฆˆ

#Dive the pandora #reef while you're there, too!

You know who else has featured prominently in the Epstein documents released by the Justice Department?

We are both powerful and powerless depending on what is most convenient to any given man at any given time.

Do I have any #costuming / #costumer connections who might know anyone who does #19th century #antiques and #sewing #machine #restoration?

Trying all the hash tags for visibility.

I should note that I'm happy to ship or hand-carry this gorgeous piece to reputable hands to get it back into working order. I know she needs some parts and is completely missing her paint, but I'd LOVE to someday sew a costume from the machine's original era on her, if I can.

I've been gifted this #antique #German #sewingmachine, rescued from a junkyard in Bali, and I'd love to learn more about it and get it restored. Anyone know how to get started?

Is there an email address you recommend? You're the first person I've heard of who was able to get it without submitting the video.
