On this First Contact Day, I just want to remind everyone that the actor who played Cochran is a great man, himself.
Dude has been fighting his whole life... everything from being a member of the Committee to Defend the Black Panthers to gluing himself to a Starbucks counter.
I am going to use the attention from this to promote Table Grace Cafe. They kept me fed in the hard times. 3 courses of quality food with several daily options, including vegan. $10 or less to eat. 15 minutes of light work if you have $0

I waitressed for 3 years before I heard the "black people don't tip" line and it confused the hell out of me. Then I noticed the servers who complained about it had different body language and checked for refills less with black customers

I actually have done that thing where you fill an old mayo jar with vanilla pudding and just sit on a public bench, eating it with a spoon. You get some hilarious looks

I am legit mad Mindy Kaling doesn't use her full last name Chokalingam. If I was a comedian and my name translated as "Eggplant God-Schlong" I would roll with that shit.

A Muslim Trekkie made hijabs to go with her cosplay uniforms a few years back...and everyone loved it so much they made a side character based off her for Star Trek Lower Decks

OMG he was acquitted? 💗
I honestly thought the poor guy was toast. I mean it *clearly* was self defense but the unhoused are so dehumanized and city officials get away with so much I had no faith there would be justice. I am glad I was wrong.

I do gotta say it's going to be interesting if one of you dudes actually tries to physically stop me from using the restroom just because PCOD makes me hairy and I rarely do performative femininity. I may have to "stand my ground."

@Glinner
IDK. Trans women never bothered me in the restrooms. Plenty of TERFs have peeped though and one sexually assaulted me by grabbing my vulva. The look on her face was priceless when she realized she wasn't holding balls, but it didn't last long because I put her on the ground.

I will be 50 in June and I have seen trans women in the bathroom since I was like, 5. Never once has a single one of them done anything but pee, maybe check their makeup, and leave.

It is a supplemental nutrition program where they load a small monthly sum to a card similar to a debit card, that can be used for groceries.

Because Congress decided to force a religious statement on everyone in the 50s, as an act of political theater.
Weird choice too, because mixing God and money is the only thing that made Jesus whip-cracking, table-flipping furious

I still make people mask in my cab. Sometimes it is tiring to fight people on it but stories like this help me stay firm on it

If you want to check this place out, it's on the south side of Farnam between 16th and 17th. It's an amazing resource if you are a "have not" and a really worthy place to support if you're a "have"

Depends on where someone is on the spectrum and the social cues of the group you are interacting with. I don't bother even trying to hide it anymore but once upon a time I would and could in some situations

Thanks for buying the media narrative. Most women who are beaten and raped don't get any justice and we get punished for surviving whether we get justice or not

So he admits he went into an establishment specifically to harass a woman for not complying with what he wishes and he refused to leave until he was physically removed

I drive professionally and nothing about the responses surprises me. There is a reason I always end up in the top safest drivers lists from my dispatch vendor though.

This is almost as funny as the dude who thought pics of Julia Louise Dreyfuss that a trans girl posted were pics of the trans girl and went on a multi tweet essay on how he could tell she was trans
@weeklydeekly
@LazuliteHalcyon
I could be wrong but I think they even gave the character the same name as the woman who posted the pics. She originally popped up in the Facebook group Star Trek Shitposting and the Lower Decks writers actually hang out there for fan input for the show.

Realistic take, bullying and ridiculing people for voting out of party lines is voter suppression
Systemic promotion of duopoly in an independent majority nation is electoral interference.
Duopoly is anti democratic and those who push it are anti democracy

We have a restaurant here called Big Mama's that will occasionally give away free food when it's needed. The owner ran for House of Representatives once!

Because of a regular client I have, I managed to regained much love and appreciation for well done country music, that I had lost over the decades. Honestly though it just made me hate modern corporate country even more.

As a woman with both intense periods and bladder issues, I carry a tote with plastic bags, spare panties, and pads to deal with such emergencies. I suspect most with these problems do, because in my 51 years I have never seen a woman use a public bathroom sink to deal with this.

I used to be a huge fan but I figured him out before he even got with AH. After my ex tried to murder me I started feeling sick when he was watching his movies. While I was processing the trauma from the last years of my marriage and analyzing my choices with men...

Changing the goal posts? Who cares how you are rationalizing posting a lie
If you were a real journalist you would retract your false claim of a burning squad car.
