“[Y]ou do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.”
Whiteface?? Girl, those were clowns like you.

Newsome makes bad decisions by throwing marginalized constituencies under the wheel of a Greyhound. However, I think Tr*mp must hate N’s adult man-sized hands. Large adult man-sized hands.

I grabbed "Maze of Now," by Minibeast. It's noise, it's art, it's the noise of art. Love seeing them live and the recordings are great too. This came out in January but it took me until today to get around to purchasing it. I am psych (rocked) to heart it. @minibeastband.bsky.social (2/2)

Today is Bandcamp Friday (first Friday of the month, all the money goes to the band, no cuts taken by Bandcamp service). So I purchased The Dogmatics album released last month, "Nowheresville." Fantastic garage smashes 40 years after the band formed. A GREAT live band. But that's not all (1/2)

All will not be forgiven, Joni. People like her need to continually make amends forever; I’ve only seen Nicole Wallace apologize tho I still don’t trust her after foisting Palin on the world.
We need no more Kinzigers, Steeles, Walshes, Jennifer Rubins or Schmidts saying ‘what dems need to do…’
