My sister did jury duty in Manhattan decades ago and got sequestered on Staten Island. She snuck a phone call to tell us how fucking miserable she was and how disgusting it all was. We laughed at her hard.🤣

“God’s representative on earth" used a gay slur.

The things Robert De Niro says about Trump make me want to hang out with him.

gentrifiedrose,

@StillIRise1963 He's one of my favorite comedic actors and now he's one of my favorite people. Not a lot of people have the power to speak out against a tyrant. Most people can't even recognize one.

@gentrifiedrose Funny, it would never cross my mind to describe him as a comedic actor. I need to reevaluate him in his totality.

@StillIRise1963 Wait, what? I came in late--did you mean this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Like_Me

@epicdemiologist No, a 2024 guy.

My child just sent me a text about a book by a white guy named Sam Forster who said the following:

"Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society.

Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.”

Ummm, WHAT???

@StillIRise1963 All one star reviews on GoodReads (I don't think you can give 0). 9 total reviews. None of the reviewers actually purchased or read the book it seems.

@anuckols I’m not sure reading it is necessary.🤣

When SCOTUS fucks us over during the month of June, you’ll see just how DANGEROUS it is to NOT VOTE.

@StillIRise1963 Bad news-SCOTUS is trash. Good news- my dad's voting in November, the 1st time in 40 years.

@Ponygirl Yay! Tell him we say thank you!❤️

When her colleagues and friends take away our rights and destroy democracy, Sonia Sotomayor is going to go in her office and cry. What are you going to do?🤔

@StillIRise1963 If I were a liberal justice I'd resign instead of continuing to legitimize that institution with my presence, but hey what do I know

@inquiline I hear you, but that might do even more harm.

After speaking with CVS🙄 , I’m on hold with my insurance company trying to get a prescription filled one week early since I’m leaving for a month. They want me to pick it up the day I’m off to the airport. NOPE. wtf.

@StillIRise1963

The hurdle for well-read people, because you ask yourself how can it be, what is?

To be or not to be, that is the question: whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer. To endure the slings and arrows of furious fate, or to reach for the receiver against a sea of telephone questions. And to end them through resistance.

(in respectful reference to William Shakespeare's Hamlet)

“Not conservative enough” has always meant not racist enough.

Oggie,
@Oggie@woof.group avatar

@StillIRise1963 It's funny because there was this coded term that used to be used all the time, 'fiscally conservative' which sort of meant 'well I just don't want to get taxed much but I don't want to be associated with the racists' and then it became more and more clear that the racism was so incredibly baked into the fiscal stuff it could not be cleanly removed.

Even that got 'no true scottsmanned' though. Most of the right can't even see 'conservative' on a clear day, anymore, either.

Steve Schwarzman, the Blackstone CEO is a FASCIST. No surprise there.

Who’s going to tell the Pope that apologizing for the “vulgar term” means little now that we know how he really feels about gay people.

@StillIRise1963 I think it’s funny that people have bought into the narrative that this pope is reforming the church. He’s not and never has been. He’s just into optics.

@StillIRise1963 You can’t put the smoke back in the chimney. The message is out.
