From the local newspaper from my hometown.
What the fuck is wrong with this country. This is disgusting.

Facebook is a cesspool, of course but I still use it for local news, gossip and events. A local organization was closed for Juneteenth and this is the community response. They’re so mad about Juneteenth that they suggest having a James Earl Ray Day.

I really do hate it here.

The best dedication in a book:
“For anybody who could use a break.”

I definitely need a break.

My Mother’s Day breakfast menu, brought to me by a small chef wearing a Melissa and Doug chef costume.
Mother's Day - A morning ensemble Artisanal sourdough toast adorned with whipped butter, a glaze of strawberry preserve, and fresh strawberry medallions. Paired with Creamy pasture-raised eggs delicately scrambled with aged cheddar, a touch of cracked black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Served alongside A glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice with vibrant pulp for a naturally bright finish

We live in the dumbest timeline
@LindseyGrahamSC I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope. This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility! The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides. Watching for white smoke.... Trump MMXXVIII!

Peace Corps for a decade? S. A. Cosby - of all the weird twisted things in your book, this was the weirdest to me 😂
At 2 years for one service term, and I did it twice (well 1 1/2 times to be fair) - I was a weird one. I couldn’t imagine doing Peace Corps 5 times.
Pip had been raised Mennonite. He'd left his family's farm on the northern end of the county for the Peace Corps for a decade, then had come home and joined the sheriff's office. When he was growing up, Titus learned to see Pip as the nuanced ying to the rest of the sheriff's office's belligerent, frothing-at-the-mouth yang. When Pip asked Titus if he could stay on, Titus was surprised.

For every dollar of funding, female-owned start-ups generate seventy-eight cents, compared to male-owned start-ups which generate thirty-one cents. They also perform better over time, 'generating 10% more in cumulative revenue over a five-year period'. This may be partly because women are 'better suited for leadership than men'.

And we’re seeing this on full display in the Trump Administration
for the vast majority of hiring decisions around the world, meritocracy is an insidious myth. It is a myth that provides cover to institutional white male bias. Caroline Criado Perez Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Their white pointy hats are on full display.

This is disgusting and cruel. This administration is the epitome of evil.
This appeared on the official White House Twitter account: An Al-generated propaganda image celebrating the violent expulsion of brown-skinned human beings. This is an open declaration of white nationalist fascism, of a dictatorial administration which has fully embraced open, cartoonishly dystopian racism and cruelty. A picture tweeted by the White House shows a white man putting hand cuffs on a brown immigrant while she cries. The White House @WhiteHouse

It’s not my favorite in the series so far but it’s got a few good quotes #booksky #bookquote #discworld #terrypratchett
The Empire's got something worse than whips all right. It's got obedience. Whips in the soul. They obey anyone who tells them what to do. Freedom just means being told what to do by someone different. Terry Pratchett Interesting Times: A Discworld Novel
