Moths are such good subjects for portraiture or painting because it's often an experiment in symmetry until you look closely and see all the tiny differences from side to side.

I didn't watch it either. I've seen clips and it's just like everything else he says. It gets difficult to keep hearing his voice.

Some of these pictures must also be at the DOJ. If they don't release them, we'll know that they're hiding stuff they shouldn't. And I suspect that Rep Garcia may withhold a few dually-posessed photographs just to see if the DOJ releases them, as a check.
But Dear God, these are so creepy.

I hate whenever stuff like this comes out. I know it's a good thing for transparency but it just gives me such a sinking and disgusted feeling. It's all so dark, and I worry about all the survivors because they must feel a 100 times more intensely.

Do I understand correctly that the children of millionaires and billionaires could still get the treatment privately?

I will try, this is embarrassing but I don't fully know on how to send a DM.

There isn't one. I've searched a few times, there are only small church programs that open 2x/month, one that doesn't serve unmarried adults, etc. More than 1/3 of US counties do not have a food bank. It's super rural.

People call them moderate. I think more accurately is to call them vulnerable--electorally.

I don't know how many thousands of times we have to keep pointing out how racist this administration is.
I won't ever stop doing it but it just seems to keep getting worse and more blatant.

Yeah, sexual and gender minorities exist in every country and century. It's not something that can be controlled for, but throughout history we've seen cultures that try to punish left-handedness which also is not something you can choose or change. It says a lot how widespread the oppression is.

I've been struggling to find a job for the last few months and my savings are almost gone. I've been eating 1 meal a day for the past 5 weeks, food is such an enormous expense. I think it's easy to overlook how big it is even when you're aware prices because it's a million little things that add up.

It's horrible. But unlike racial or ethnic minorities which can be completely eliminated (genocide), gender and sexual minorities pop up in every culture and century around the world. They can't get rid of us no matter how hard they try.

It's not kind to say but sometimes you see somebody who just LOOKS dumb. As I was watching her that's all I could think of. Lutnik and Bondi have the same air about them, just not very bright at all.

I have a cousin who sued the couple she was a surrogate for. They thought that she was mixed race like they were (1/2 white and Asian) but pulled out of the contract when they found out she has one Asian grandparent and is "too white" despite not looking white. The whole thing was a mess.

I first met a trans person 20 years ago when I was in college and she was an instructor. She only uses social media a few times a year but I touched base with her a few months ago and she said that things are much worse now than they were in the 70s when she grew up. I believe it. :/

A lot of it appears to be organic brain disease as well. Like, sometimes even when he wants to tell the truth he still says the wrong thing because his brain cell gets so tired, like when he wanted to say his personality was addictive, but he called it possessive.

The problem is that he thinks by declaring that the economy is good, that makes it good. He genuinely doesn't understand what it's like to go to the store and not have enough money to get the right food you need. I've been doing that for at least the past year.

Honestly if he can get through it without slurring his words or just seeming completely out of it, that much will be a success. The standard is so incredibly low.

I think they will before the midterms, it's just a matter of timing. Micro Johnson does not have as much support as he thinks.

It's technically true insofar as he has not HAD control of the House since January. For most of that time, Donald Trump has had control of it.
