Listening to early David Bowie to get my whimsy on
"I fear some [council members] are indifferent." Have you paid someone's rent, organized a fundraiser, gone on patrol, found someone an attorney, done someone's laundry, delivered groceries, held a baby of someone sheltering in fear? "If not you may be too far removed to have good judgment."
No, my argument is that you are making ignorant and corrosive claims based on your personal experience of disliking Jews. That tells me enough about you that it’s time to end this discussion.
My argument is a lot simpler than that. Anecdotes != evidence. Words have meaning. You’re free to dislike being called a goy, that doesn’t mean that the word means anything other than “non-Jew”
Exactly. You can call me a short fat self centered jerk, and none of those things feel good, but they’re also not slurs.
No, that’s not the definition of a slur. Nor is “goy” designed to denigrate even if that were the definition.
Yeah, this isn’t helpful or accurate. Just because you have experienced anecdotal discomfort doesn’t mean…anything.
So, as Minnesotans, do we still have to pay federal taxes?
A few of my friends ended up getting expelled over it.
I was friends with his son. The dad was never there so we’d throw parties after school most days.
Holy shit. I hung out at this guy’s house all the time in high school. He was never there but…damn.
My team does atomic commits and PRs, but I’m 67 PRs in on my current story and let me tell you, that is too many.
Why is the trans law center following one of my cis exes on instagram?
Sometimes getting your wife appliances for her birthday is okay
Honeydew is the industrial tomato of melons … flavorless due to capitalism, not its inherent properties.
I recently started using my 2010 Kindle and this thing has better battery life than any of my newer devices. Still works like a charm.
I appreciate it but I assure you I’m already insufferable.
That’s a really bad one 🙅♂️
That being said, wfh has really made me step up my lounge wear game.
I wore pencil skirts and silk blouses with a full face to work for a decade. Now that I’m working in tech, everyone wears jeans and sneakers and I’m a little salty that I don’t get to wear suits unless I’m going to a wedding or something.
Surely there is no more annoying autocorrect than “he’ll yeah”
Opens a can of worms, but I’d support denying state Local Government Aid for any municipality signing a 287(g) agreement with the Feds. Isle got $97k from LGA — which just about offsets the $107,500 the Feds will give them for terrorizing people of color. Let LGA go to places upholding justice.
Reminder: the easiest way to get instant gratification is to give away your money.
Your boss was a jerk to you?
Go pay someone’s rent
Read something horrific online?
Go pay for someone to eat tonight
It works for everything. Tummy aches, tv shows being cancelled, even traffic!
I really need well meaning cis people to stop using folx. Folks is already gender neutral.
I encourage you to think less “how can I signal my inclusivity” and more “what kind of mutual aid funds exist to support trans people in my area” and “how much can I afford to give each month”
New glasses arrive today. Cannot wait to turn the font size back down on all my devices.

It’s fine to be a weird nerd at work if you don’t also suck as a person.
