Do you share art?
Do you make jokes?
Do you talk about your garden?
Do you cheer for your team?
Do you post paper airplane designs?
Do you want people to get lost in the same lyrics you just did?

Good.

Keep it up.

I know, right? Lorne Greene is just amazing.
A couple episodes into S2 of Battlestar Galactica and whew it is intense

That's a Texas-sized 10-4.

I call you "Myra Don't Hit Me With That Pennysock".

Only 4? How dare you call yourself a fan!๐Ÿคจ

A second machine opens a competing gynecological practice in which Pink Floyd is softly playing as ambient music.

It's called Welcome To Vagine.

And you want to change that. You want fairness and equality and equity. You want justice.

Sometimes a person owning that privilege fails to see the struggle. Today was a wakeup call.
January 9, 2026 at 9:18 PM
Sure, you learn about people's different life experiences and see situations where they get treated differently and unfairly. You see the world through their eyes, what their struggle is, and how things like race, gender, sexual orientation, disability - for no good reason - can make it harder.

I felt (and still) felt shame that it didn't occur to me that the things IAPG said *could actually fucking happen* until just today. That it's not just some story on "SVU" or some movie. (I watch too much tv, can you tell?)

And I realize that it's my privilege to not have considered its reality.
January 9, 2026 at 9:01 PM
I'm very sorry those things happened to you.

I acknowledge I have white privilege. I know I get treated and judged differently b/c I'm white. I try to dismantle that as much as I can. I know I have all these other privileges afforded to me because I'm straight and male. I try to enlighten others.

The idea of it actually happening in real life and not just part of a tv show or movie was just too outrageous to consider a reality, I guess. But, I realize different now.

The Best and the Brightest, amirite?

I'm honestly surprised the asshole didn't rip the phone out of his hands and destroy it so that the video couldn't be shared.
January 9, 2026 at 8:12 PM
I am ashamed to admit it, but yes.

And yet, there are still so many brownshirts who are like, "She went looking for trouble and found it!"

There are people (not here, obvs) who are still cheering on ICE even after this, after all the video footage and witness reports.

That's not fixable. And it's so depressing and infuriating.
January 9, 2026 at 7:36 PM
Fuck. This makes me wonder how many women this is currently happening to *right now*. For traffickers this is like walking into a store and everything is free and reachable.

Fuck, this is a horrible, grotesque reality.

The discussions with the architect may get heated, though.
January 9, 2026 at 7:14 PM
I think it's also an audition.
January 9, 2026 at 7:12 PM
It's coming from CBS news. Treat it with the same regard as anything you'd read from FoxNews or Newsmax.

And now, no matter what he does, even if stops *any* of the wars he claims he has, they will never give it to him because of this. ๐Ÿคฃ

If I ever have a house built from scratch, you can be damn sure it's going to have a least one secret passageway. And a secret lair in the basement.

Why? Because I've seen too many movies set in castles, that's why.

I'm kinda sorta interested in what the cash register of this place looks like.
January 9, 2026 at 6:35 PM
"Who are parents themselves" is a bullshit attempt at humanizing these fuckers who have no problem dragging kids out of school or using mace or pepper spray on them.

I have to wonder how Venezuelan people feel about Machado offering her Nobel Peace Prize to the guy who just bombed their country.
