2. โKarenโ is not a racist slur.
3. โAll Lives Matterโ is, even if it might sound inclusive on its face.
4. White cishet conservative Christians are not an oppressed minority.
5. Wear your mask and practice social distancing.

Perhaps more accurately, itโs haunted my waking hours ever since a couple of weeks after That Day Which Shall Not Be Named. The first couple of weeks after That Day, I was - as Egon Spengler might say - horrified 'beyond the capacity for rational thought.'

As a Simpsons animator for many years, I can say with 100% certainty that A) Lisa is officially the conscience of the family so...awesome. B) Neither Marge nor Homer are Republicans.
@BenjySarlin
@tedcruz
Homer voted for Obama in 2008. And I personally worked on the gay marriage episode, in which Marge pleads with Reverend Lovejoy not to stand in the way of people who love each other. In fact, that's the episode I'm most proud of.

Another fun morning activity is grinding coffee. All the coffee. Just keep grinding it. Grind some more. Get more coffee beans, and grind them. Add some gravel, if you feel like it.
Hi, just a reminder that the whole โalpha maleโ wolf analogy is complete bullshit, that wolves in the wild organize their packs as families, and that the whole violent โalphaโ notion was born from studies of captive wolves and therefore do not display typical pack behavior.
I love how the white that the Democratic women are wearing makes it look like a ray of sunshine breaking through clouds and shining into the chamber

Fuck this immunity bullshit.
This is my mother, Cristy Maltese. She and her sister, Joan Maltese, flew out to DC to take part in the January 6th white supremacist riot. Prior to that, Cristy was fired for racism at LCAD, where she taught animation.

@tedcruz
Maggie's wonderful, but she's a baby so I don't know what his deal is there, but as for Bart...I mean, he was really fun to animate and his scenes were dynamic but I don't know how to respond to a sitting Senator who wants to align himself with the kid's moral judgments.
Watching the Harris-Walz rally and Tim Walz is great and all but watching Kamala Harris speak, and hearing a Presidential candidate's speech delivered with a woman's voice, it just hits hard, historically. I just have to sit down for a bit.

You seem like a nice, sane, stable person to whom shareholders should definitely entrust an enormous social media platform and not at all like an Afrikaner version of Howard Hughes in his later years.

@tedcruz
I don't want to leave readers with the taste of Ted Cruz's Simpsons impressions, seasoned with sweaty desperation, in their mouths. So instead, I'll leave you with this palate cleanser, which is probably the scene I am most proud of having animated, ever:
"We saw the massive influx of migrant crossings."
No, you didnโt.
"Countless women + children."
Again, nope.
"We were heckled..."
OK, this one I can believe.
โ...by cartels."
By kids who came out of their homes to ridicule you assholes creeping around their hedges.
1:00AM on our southern border.
18 Senators are here with Border Patrol on their night shift.
We saw the massive influx of migrant crossings.
Countless women + children.
We were heckled by cartels.
This is a humanitarian crisis.
And Joe Biden needs to address it immediately.

It makes me think just how easy dudes have it. They don't have to continually prove themselves like that. Over and over again. Their authority is taken as a given. They say something, and people just believe them.
I, an archer with a chonky tortie, have lived like this since before J6. I am not wearing an ankle monitor because I did not throw in with white supremacists in order to try to overthrow American democracy. I turned screenshots in to the FBI from family members who did though.
I, a mom & grandmother with no criminal history, have lived like this since

. The box on my ankle holding me INSIDE the house, unable to live. In 13 days the government will force me to endure a 51 month sentence because the last 3 years of confinement means nothing.
If Republican women are upset at their daughters going no-contact with them, maybe they should try not voting bigotry into power.
Just a thought.

@johnthune
Real presidents donโt have to ask which members of the Senate and House are in their party because they already know. Especially four years into the job.
After I cut off contact with my mother when she confirmed she'd flown out to DC on January 6th, she tried to reconnect on my birthday with a letter that decried how "politics" had been allowed to get in the way of our relationship.
Insurrection. Isn't. Politics.

and his insecurity around having no Emmys? 'Cause it'd be a shame if folks posted photos of theirs with that hashtag. Like here, for example, with three of my five I won for animating on The Simpsons.

Who doesn't remember that. That was right before he singlehandedly defeated the Space Pirates of Talos VI but after he won the Grammy for Best Male Rap Artist of 2015.

@Steph56Renee
I was also raised with Ariel. Family of animators. My mom was a background painter for that film. Cels and b/gs from it would be strewn across our kitchen table while she painted. I got to watch it made in my own home. And I say that Halle Bailey cast as Ariel is awesome.
I voted for HRC in the primary because Sanders was and still is too conservative for my tastes on most issues - civil rights, women's rights, gun control, the environment, immigration, too many pro-war votes, etc.

This is Joan Maltese, her sister and fellow J6 attendee. If Trump gets immunity for January 6th because of this corrupt SCOTUS, I hope that these two at least get recognized for their efforts to help bring about the downfall of American democracy.
@pants_so_short
I've met guys who will sometimes assert something related to archery that's been debunked, and I'll say, "That's actually a myth," and they actually get defensive and say something like "How do you know?"
And then I have to once again list my entire fucking resume.
