Anyone in Phoenix see all the unmarked (presumably) ICE vans on the I17 between Northern and Bell around 10 PM? There was a group of at least 10 of them driving 90+ MPH and swerving through traffic without signals or emergency lights. What's going on??

Happy 4th of July. America is funding a genocide across the globe while committing a separate genocide at home. But have fun with your fireworks or whatever.

Boycott all commercials, but especially ice cream commercials where the actors bite the ice cream directly with their front teeth.

Some boomer-ass guy came into the bakery I work at and said "somethings not making sense. It smells SO good in here and you're still that skinny??"
Sir, you do not need to comment on my body to compliment the food.

If I see 1 (one) more white boomer claiming that Beethoven "invented" jazz or rock, I am going to hurl them and their Steinway Grand Piano into the sun.

I can't wait to complain about the price of groceries to my trump-voting shitass relatives and see how they make it Bidens fault.

Okay, these people are obviously problematic, but not because of their age. You don't need to be geriatric to work a government job. The issue is their allegiance to Trump over country.

I was just talking about this with one of my old music professors. Sometimes our practice is "editing" and sometimes we are "practicing performance". Don't let the mistakes derail you every time because you'll rob yourself of every chance to recover along the way.
The part of your brain the creates and the part of your brain that edits are different. When you edit while writing, you switch your mode of thinking and can gum up the works, so to speak, knocking yourself out of your groove. Correct obvious mistakes, but knock out your pages and edit them after.
