Just wanna share that the potential for Arizona to flip toward blue is because of the strongholds of Tribal Nations that represent the state. I have not heard any news commentary stating that reality.
You ever get skeeved out by dirt on a public toilet seat and then realize it’s actually your own toilet dirt from the last time you peed, cuz you didn’t change your clothes when you left your garden job?

Emmett Till would’ve been 79 today. That’s another reminder of how recent that event was. He was born a year after John Lewis.

Notice again how the establishment is quick to label universal healthcare as a dangerous socialist concept but when unidentified federal forces are snatching folks off the street in unmarked cars, they still can’t bring themselves to call it fascism.

We don’t talk about janitors, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, guidance counselor’s and school administration secretaries enough. They TOO will be at risk when schools start. The pay is already shit for these positions, now we’re asking them to also risk their lives. Unacceptable
Dog wanted to work on the patio with me, but I put her inside so as to prevent her death by heatstroke.
Now blessed by the melodies of her howling heart song punctuated by tortured dolphin squeak interludes. She's really quite talented.

Black women are fired for wearing their hair natural, fired when they speak out about workplace discrimination and harassment, and fired when they demand equal pay.
It's rich to see people writing op-eds and letters in national papers about how cancel culture has come for them.
Sometimes writing a novel feels like fun secret magic, sometimes it feels like the dumbest thing in the world!
Sometimes it feels very serious and that's when you gotta take a walk and touch a dog.
