Wait, slave-owning, GW? The one with the teeth of enslaved people in his mouth helping him to chew the food they prepared in servitude?!

“I’m just rolling, rolling, rolling, I ain’t slept in weeks” - Gucci Mane

Somebody has a backbone.

Yo! 🤣 I’m roasting my chicken like this from now on!!

Omggggg The longer video of this is insane! I hope she sues the brakes off of these people

Gotta check this out!

Which they've already tried to begin getting rid of at some schools btw

So, in tech, when someone is asking you to do a thing outside of business hours, its usually BAD NEWS in response to a bad incident. This....is just straight up abuse.

i sent a card on 2/10 to a friend who lives 5 miles away. she received it today, 2/22.

Happy Black History Month! Today’s children’s book by a Black author is The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson. A poetic story about identity and diversity. This is one of my favs! #BlackHistoryMont #Childrensbooks #Blackauthors #Booksky

Everyone should read this book.

👀

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Y'all know what Kendrick said two weeks ago, they can rig the game but they can't fake influence.

At least 12 universities now have hiring freezes and nearly 30 have cut PhD admissions this year If you hear of other places you can add them to this google doc:

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

NGL fed employment management is showing their ass thoroughly. Do not fucking comply and issue layoff orders. This is the bullshit of legality: if you know it's wrong and you comply, you're *giving* precedent for them to *continue* this shit.

Magic at the NAACP Image Awards and whatnot.

we used to respect the computer

Judge says DEI plaintiffs, including private businesses and *universities*, are likely to succeed. Meanwhile, university presidents ask “how high?” when told to jump. Weasels!

I had to spin the block. like this man is so fine???

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

So working class white folks have started taking over Republican leaning bars and just playing Hostile Government take over And I’m cackling www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2P3TcdA/

Ok, so IRS got the 5 bullet points, justify your job, email. Our Union NTEU is saying to not respond at this point until National NTEU has a chance to assess the implications of responding. 1/2

I hate when a narrative is reinforced by factual events

I had a woman who took all my kids’ books about pride off display and threw them in the book drop. Joke’s on her. Any time you throw something in the book drop or hide something, we have to scan it back in. That’s a circ, which means they’re more likely to order more copies.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

I'm at a BHM banquet. I got an award!!! 😁

lol once a cable news host, always a cable news host. leaning into something he actually has experience doing.

ADHD medication targets the disease. They are targeting the medication as one step in targeting the people.

Note the sleight-of-hand here: those defending the status quo CHOOSE to focus on the protesters and the validity of their tactics, then cry "See? People are talking about the protesters, not the issues." YOU are talking about the protesters. That is a choice.

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

mustard on the beat ho

American Exceptionalism also applies to thinking there's no way America could be a dogshit racist fascist nation unless some flavor of salivating eastern horde was behind the transformation

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

What’s also upsetting a lot of these ✋🏻 people is the fact that they are also ignoring historical & global context. Do you know HOW many countries & governments Uncle Sam is responsible for stealing? Collapsing? Preventing? Steam-rolling? Did you really think none of that would boomerang “home”?

If you would like to learn how to do this kind of writing, I will teach you. I will, if you have no money, do it for free. I will, if you have some money, invite you to my "writing coach" patreon. I will, if you have an institutional budget, charge a fair workshop rate. Lollardfish @ gmail.
