"lf a person refused to (unmask), that right there should cause you some sense of alarm."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams continues to encourage businesses to request customers to unmask. This is ableist, puts people's health at risk, and is NOT required by law.

North Carolina, the state where wearing a gun is a right and wearing a medical mask is a crime.

At the beginning of this saga, I thought white people would be so angry at being treated in your face badly, that they wouldn’t put up with it. I think my miscalculation was thinking what was in your face would be seen and that the blindness would be willful to the point of suicidal.

You guys, it's actually pretty easy to distinguish between anti-semitism and criticism of the sovereign nation of Israel.

I just don't get what's hard about this.

Trying to just sit with my emotions today.

Thing is, it's mostly rage.

One of the recurring complaints I hear about my cooking is that it tastes bad.

Can anyone recommend an app that will entertain me, educate me, enrich my time on Earth, make me handsome, adore me, bring me little treats, tuck me in at night, help me lose weight, get me respect, destroy facism and racism, confiscate the wealth of all billionaires and distribute it around the globe, stop war, and film the sci-fi-kdrama-musical I fantasize about watching?

Shout out to the elderly Latina in this laundromat wearing airpods and singing along to "What's Love Got To Do With It" in a really high falsetto.

(Earnest post warning)

I'm going to be participating in #GlobalStrikeWeek starting today. I'll only be posting about #Palestine for the next week. I'll also be doing other peaceful activities to support calls for a cease-fire. I invite you to join me.

Sometimes you have to shout to get through to a person who is lost in a rage. Maybe if we all make enough noise, the insanity will stop. Let's give it a try.

Some stupid KID told me today that my cultural references where all "old and outdated."

I got so mad. All I could say was, "Oh yeah? Well, SMURF YOU!"

I'm a sexy, mysterious, inscrutable urban ninja on a mission to Sprouts.

Today in Labor History January 12, 1876: Working class novelist Jack London was born. As a kid, he was an oyster pirate in Oakland, along the shores of the San Francisco Bay. As a young man, he became a hobo, riding the rails from town to town, looking for handouts and sometimes work. He wrote about these experiences in his short novel, “The Road.” He was also a lifelong alcoholic, which contributed to his early death. In his novel, “John Barleycorn,” he wrote about both his alcoholism and his experiences as a laborer in numerous low-paid, backbreaking jobs. He was also a socialist and a champion of unions and working-class activism. With respect to strikebreakers, he famously wrote: "After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-logged brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles." London was also one of the first Haoles (non-Native Hawaiian, or white person) to learn how to surf in Hawaii.

I want to make a Dune-themed joke and the punchline is "Ersatz Haderach" but I'm kind of stuck because I don't know what ersatz means so now this is a meta-toot have a great day
