Mamdani was like a polite, respectful youngest son listening to the family elder and trying not to cringe outwardly while remaining solicitous in case he falls over or hurls a racial epithet (I'm South Asian, I know what I'm about)

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

I watched A Place to Call Home years after people completely forgot about it and it started out ok and then steadily diminished into deep soap and my question is: is this what Home and Away is like

But why? Peoples of the Americas keep pointing out to me that America (which I still consistently use) refers to everyone in their eyes, not just USians

Good morning & welcome to 'sweet holy fuckbeans, why am I awake?'

1. Tuesday's are objectively the worst.

2. I don't like getting up early but ♿-pick up is superfast with no queue.
