MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

The Hare She Led On

THE HARE SHE WENT ON
Stella Sacco
I sat down to write something like
"I would have begged
If you had just asked me to.
But you didn't."

Three lines!
That would've hit.
People love those pithy little poems
And my stuff runs a little long (Or so every editor I've ever had
Has told me with some exasperation).

But.
Thing is.
I don't think I actually would've begged
Even if you had asked me.
I don't think I would've,
Like,
Rolled around in my own piss and shit for you
Like a fucking dog.

In our ancestral seat
There was a famous greyhound,
Master of the racetrack,
Who even impressed the Queen.
And after he died
They discovered his heart
Was twice as big as it should've been.

I know I have his big stupid simple heart, Two sizes too big,
Worked to death,
Aching to please and be pleased,
But my knees are all mine
And they just ache.

Dad would say
"If you have to ask the price
Then you can't afford it."
I'd say,
"If you get asked to beg,
Then the price is just too high."

But still.
You could have asked.

Hi there, Grey's mother here. I've always been proud of my kiddo. The free thinking was hard during teen years because I had some growing up to do. I support whatever opinion or stance Grey takes, with respect, whether I agree or disagree with it. Always proud to see a display of 1st Amendment.

TRACY: New York City needs another 9/11.
GRIZZ: Why would you say something like that?
TRACY: I’m sick of having to go to midtown for a Big Gulp!
GRIZZ: Tray, 9/11 was the day Osama bin Laden killed 3000 people.
TRACY: Osama did that? Damn. I told him not to take so many double shifts at the 9/11.

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

If we reject doxxing because it risks violence/vandalism against those we are aligned with, follow, love, are partial to, vote for, believe in, & respect, it must be the same yardstick for everyone. I've studied doxxing in NZ for years, & have always proactively warned folks targeted, & at risk.
