Again, interview with the vampire is a cautionary tale about dating a white man. Many of you would be wise to heed it's lesson.

Can't relate, I even season my coffee.

Coffee should taste like coffee.

If you’re getting whipped cream and caramel syrup on top of your coffee order, just go to a Baskin Robbins already

My family mostly likes cheese empanadas... I'm here making meat ones to sell every week & they sound like Steve Urkle, "Got any cheeeese?".

They booed Hulk Hogan ffs. He deserved it but half the audience probably had some fond memories of hulkamania and they still booed him.

Thank you! I have another one with the same issue but only where it rubs up against other stalks. I thought it was the friction but it's otherwise in great shape and growing taller.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Today in the lobby of the pediatrician's office we caught the end of the Princess & the Frog & the beginning of the Little Mermaid. Great start to the day!

They put up chainlink fences underneath the biggest bridges
They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them
The South will not rise again
Til it's paid for every sin
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Till the roots, Southern Gotham
I'm the one who still loves your ghost
I reanimate your bones
With my belief
And I'm the one who still loves your ghost
I reanimate your bones
Cause I'm a true believer

I remember how rough they could be when poking my Pops. They're taught that Black skin is harder to penetrate.

My dad is having a procedure done this morning. The nurse anesthetist is having difficulty placing his IV. I ask my dad “are you in any pain”? The nurse “no it doesn’t hurt”….

Bitch….

If Mary (the mother of Jesus in the biblical myth) were to show up pregnant and about to give birth at a modern Christian's door, would they be more likely to shoot her and use the "stand your ground" defense or would they call ICE?

Thoughts?

and another thing! stop coming to meetings at the school smelling like weed. it’s wildly inconsiderate! we’re here because your child doesn’t know how to act and we gotta deal with that everyday, the least you could do is share!
