Two weeks ago while in Orlando, my boyfriend got to meet my 85-year-old grandfather. Iโve never actually come out to him. He met him and immediately said โoh heโs handsome, I might have to steal him from youโ

Interviewer to racist: So, why *did* you do the racism?
Racist: You know what, I was within my rights to do the racism.

On this day in 1981, the New York Times wrote a story with a now-infamous headline that declared "RARE CANCER IN 41 HOMOSEXUALS," that many people cite as the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the United States. Though that's how history remembers it, that is of course, inaccurate.
Writing my Latino novel: "I let the gringo unwrap me like a banana leaf. He resembles the conquistador who asked my ancestors the way east then stole their land. I let him plunder, spread my piernas like mayonesa. "Dame tu leche," he demands. He milks me, my language, mi lengua.
writing my Latino novel: "We fled late in the night, or /la noche/ as Mami calls it. I'm always embarrassed when Mami says shit like that, but I forgive her because she's one of eleven kids and is from /el barrio./ Anyway it was late at night, and Yolanda Saldivar was chasing us-
Companies would rather cease operating than pay workers what they deserve. And watch, this will be blamed on labor activists -- "you fought for better wages and now these people are out of work" -- No, Lyft wanted the right to continue paying people sub-living wages.
Lyft announces it is "shutting down operations in Minneapolis" and Uber will "stop operating...in the entire metro area including the airport" after the city passed a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.

I'm seeing all these tweets saying Queen Latifah can't sing as if she didn't serve vocals in both best picture winner Chicago, one of the GOAT movie musicals Hairspray and release a whole jazz album.

Harris would make the U.S. corporate tax rate higher than Chinaโs (25%)
She wants to tax job creators at a higher rate than Chinese communists do.
Who do you think will pay for the tax increase? Do you suppose maybe itโs passed on to consumers like always?

Jesus:
โ Rose from the dead
โ Talked a lot
โ Peaced out 40 days later
Buffy:
โ Rose from the dead
โ Continued to fight monsters
โ Averted even more apocalypses
in that sense, it's a microcosm for modern policing -- create crime where there is none, then use force to justify the squashing of that non-crime crime
I am furious. Iโve read multiple reports now of white peoples showing up to protests with the goal of escalation, only to leave and have Black people face police violence.
Today I read a post that bothered me not bc it was another average-bodied person claiming fatness to perform oppression but bc in the comments everyone was like โYOURE NOT CHUNKY YOURE BEAUTIFUL.โ Um, f u, chunky people are beautiful and when you say that shit u show ur fatphobia
