kid free

We're kid free this weekend because N's sister and brother are taking Little N to Wisconsin Dells. N spent alllll of yesterday helping his dad take care of a property but today it's just the two of us. So we're spending an exciting day... catching up on the DVR. Adulthood!

Can’t stress enough how underwhelming the #UniteTheRight2 #unitetheright group is. Twenty MAGA dudes walking inside of 100s of cops, 100s of media, and 1000s of counter demonstrators down F street pic.twitter.com/BQZBpn9oME

AOC: "What Shapiro did is like catcalling in two specific ways, which I will enumerate."

Shapiro: "It's really messed up how you said I, an orthodox Jew, literally catcalled you."

To say NFL players are protesting the anthem is like saying 1960 sit-ins protested the hamburgers. Now as then, it’s the racial injustice that prophetic voices are crying out against. https://t.co/es2PLxBeaW

Trans and/or intersex characters, visibility and invisibility! Some common (and to me it feels like *increasingly* common) pitfalls.

This Day in Labor History: August 9, 1910. The electric washing machine is invented. A day late, but who cares, let's use this as a moment to talk about the history of unpaid domestic labor in the home, one of the most underrated issues in American labor history. pic.twitter.com/wszLYpMMYC

Just hours ago police surrounded community members as they peacefully remembered the terror attack that occurred in this exact spot one year ago. The police are not here to protect us & make it clear each time we stand up against white supremacy. #WeKeepUsSafe #CvilleFightsBack pic.twitter.com/hBzMYxIphs

This sign is at my university. A reminder that the #StrawBan is performative eco-consciousness that does not attempt to limit other types of single-use plastic, and actively harms disabled people. I would think this was performance art if I didn't know any better: pic.twitter.com/Spo2my67rq

"If it were up to me I'd be back at my dumb anime convention. If it were up to them they'd murder my family."
