I like fancy shit. Not because I’m white and straight, I think.

If you’re saying that Vineyard Vines in particular is nothing more than a status indicator, I agree. It isn’t the good stuff.

Pentagon says first week of Iran war has cost $11.3b.

That's 2x the entire annual budget of PEPFAR, which keeps 20 mil people alive and which DOGE tried to shutter last year for wastefulness

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that."  

Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

Just like Black History Month is only 28 days, International Women’s Day is only 23 hrs. More bs from the holiday makers.

Araceli Cruz: Latino journalists reporting on their own communities are paying the price With immigration dominating the national conversation and not nearly enough Latino reporters in newsrooms, walking away isn’t an option for us — even as the trauma takes a toll.

“Early in my career, I avoided hard news. I didn’t want to stand on the frontlines of war zones, political campaigns, or stories that hollowed me out emotionally. I had already carried enough of that weight in my own life…

“Then came August 25, 2015.”
