This is among the funniest things I have read all year and I laughed out loud several times. Highly, highly recommended. It reminded me of the best days of Deadspin.

I really enjoy meeting immigrants and asking them about their country of origin, culture, and experiences. Among all the other bullshit going on right now, it also pisses me off that it's now harder to have these conversations without prompting those folks to worry about why I'm inquiring.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

This AI generated picture of Trump seems to draw pretty directly from Warhammer 40k imagery. For those who don't know, 40k is about a grimdark fascist dystopian future where women are nothing more than breeding stock.
40k is supposed to be a parody, but they're taking like a "how to" manual.

Sometimes the weight gets heavy
And it rolls upon your back

Before we all disperse for Thanksgiving break, I'm still raising $ for kids experiencing foster care so that they can get holiday gifts, among other things they need 💚 y'all have contributed $730 of $1000 so we're getting close 🌟 boosts appreciated 👇
This will be my 6th(!) year partnering with Treehouse to raise funds during the holiday season & my 4th year volunteering in person, ensuring that kids in foster care receive meaningful gifts
$2-$5 can make a bigger difference than you might think 💚
