I just learned at 49yo that my scared white parents enrolled my siblings and me in what was first called a “segregation academy”. By the time I was in school, it was simply a Christian academy. They still teach that the education is superior to a public one. Gross.
I was up for an hour last night reading Trump health conspiracies. When I told my wife, her knee-jerk was: “What did ol' Putin do during that meeting? Spike his tea? Oh wait, Diet Coke?” she asks. Great. Now I’m picturing a bubbling Diet Coke samovar in the Situation Room.
But Satan is the good guy. The screwball in heaven is the poster child for madness.
Hey @joemygod.bsky.social, I'm a bit surprised this hasn't made your site yet.
Phil, can you make it stop?
A Kennedy in Trump’s cabinet isn’t a crown jewel. It’s a rusted nail in the coffin of public health

Franklin Graham’s Satan blame is Olympic mental gymnastics: if God rules Satan, he green-lit the massacre—so survivors spend life haunted by their classmates’ blood & organs splashed, puddled and oozing over pews. Got it. Thumbs up, Christians! You're masters of making it worse. #franklingraham

fork out tuition for your white kids, but it was known that you were contributing tax revenue to public schools. Double the tuition. What a racket. So I'm changing the lyrics of Ben Folds Five song, Redneck Past, to "I'm finding a hundred ways to reconcile my racist past."
... and humanism into Wesleyan, so at the time, he and our white parents were against vouchers. Things have changed. The crackers of the south LOVE vouchers, because they can get welfare checks to send their white kids to segregation academies. At the time, it was a badge of honor to not only ...
... now I know for a fact that my school and upbringing were centered on a purposed racist memetic discipline. Then teacher Terry Moffitt taught us that desegregation was not Christian. Brown vs. Board was an atrocity to be turned over. He also taught that school vouchers would usher in secularism..
The answer seems clear to me. I can count on one hand five black students at Wesleyan during my 12 years there. Only one of them graduated (I think). Weighing in my parents' and grandparents' racist statements and actions, teachers who were full on white supremacists,
So my reaction was to think, "Well, maybe Dr. Parker was truly colorblind." Then I thought, wait, he was a professor of education. He taught future teachers. If he truly was colorblind, why did he not emphasize hiring the very students he taught to teach kids at Wesleyan Christian Academy?
I contacted the archivist at the uni to request newspapers and yearbooks, and any other resources. I got them yesterday, and it's awkward to determine if he taught alongside other white professors judging from grainy black and white images.
The standout chapter, though, was a rambling incoherent mess centered on Dr. Parker's tenure teaching education at Winston-Salem State University. His widow claims that he was so beloved there, that he garnered the nickname, "Color-blind Clyde."
Parker's widow's memoir is a scatterbrained peek into Parker's origin stories, but it reads more like legend and myth than details about his thoughts and words. There's no direct quotes from the man. Just random memories about Parker finding lost paperwork and praising god for the miracle of it.
High Point, by the way, is just a few miles from Greensboro, where in 1960, there were black kids who sat in at a Woolworths, a fact I didn't learn until my 20s, when my boss, Chris Kennedy (RFK's son) took a group of coworkers to that location to tell them the story. I was thunderstruck.
Our school was founded at the same time as other segregation academies in the south by a man named Dr. Clyde Parker. I was digging into Parker's life, and found a 2022 memoir by his widow. Parker died in a plane accident in 1984.
Lately I've been researching the origin story of my prep school K-12 Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point, NC. It was founded in the 70s when white parents were anxiety ridden about bussing + integration, so they formed "segregation academies" that later turned into simply "Christian Academies.

Just below this post on my timeline, there's a photo of RFK Jr. Bravo, Algorithm. Bravo.
I didn't know you didn't' do it. If I get a bug in my bonnet, I could do it. Hell, ChatGPT might be able to do it.
This is great! It might be interesting to cover the white field with blue and have the stars less organized to represent chaos rather than United States as something with any order.
Funny how poverty’s “complicated” until it knocks on a billionaire’s door without gates or security. Funny how gun control’s “hard” but a shoe bomber changed airports worldwide. Funny how welfare & healthcare could get “solved” if politicians lived like the rest of us.
This is how insane #Brietbart is: in the article about the #Minneapolis shooting, they stuck in an ad for guns. #awrhawkins and Breitbart, shame! Shame on their readers for blaming "dems" for a R-led problem of gun violence in this country! Our kids blood is on your hands+faces!
Oh, I know he didn’t direct it but True Romance gets an honorable mention.
In terms of multiple viewings, Pulp is my number one. Kill Bills, #2 and Death Proof, #3. The latter two bc I’m a sucker for female revenge. I hope the mention of DP gets me in trouble. Ha. I’ve rewatched all his work at least once except Reservoir Dogs.
"maybe we like a dictator" by dj trummings a poem.
thanks for the hand hold. I thought maybe it was this muppet moment.
My pareidolia powers are weak today 😅. I'm not seeing the face or whatever you might be seeing. But it's still cool.
pump the brakes by dj trummings the smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL everything discussed is how horrible our country is how bad slavery was how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been
For the last 25 years, I've hated that my dad had inappropriate relationships with young #Filipinas he met in #Karaokes. I realized yesterday that he was a mark in several long #romancescams. He lost everything, he wears it as a badge of honor. Does anyone who sees this have similar stories?
I watched most of it last night. The air relieving from my body was the squeaky fart noise of a deflating balloon. I'm crushed that the 20 conservatives sounded so pathetic. #angry
The machines aren’t shitty. His Depends are. Mail-in isn’t fraud. But his hairline is. The only thing Trump’s ever counted right is his indictments. Forever the fat Elvis of politics: bloated, sweaty, and playing the hits no one asked for.
holy damn. I'm on my way to YouTube to watch this in full.
He looks like he gained weight
Somebody has to eat all those filet mignons in peppercorn sauce.
Many of them. All of them. None of them.
Sweet. Another Drag Queen off the streets. Wait.
Exactly! I'm like, yeah, I'm good! I read Lying by Sam Harris, so I always tell the truth [eyeroll] Did I go back into Home Depot to pay for the thing I left on the bottom of my cart? No, no I didn't. God dammit! My so-called virtues are all tangled in mind mitigation of abject failures.
I love this. It's a long-performed navel gaze for me, too. I know many people who seem to under-examine their "goodness." I think I over examine it, and beat the crap out of myself for failures new & old.
My response to the Jungle by Upton Sinclair seems different from those responses I've read here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jun... Read it here: cafewitteveen.wordpress.com/2025/08/15/u...
My Libby app recommended The Jungle by Upton Sinclair a couple of weeks ago. Largely, googling the book renders a focus on food safety failures of this admin. Rubbish! It hit my heart, not just my stomach. Here's a blog for all 2 of you who might see this: tinyurl.com/mve3fm9p
And yet Sinclair's goal was to hit us in our hearts, not our stomachs, as the Wiki you linked to describes in detail. His goal was to shed light on how gross the 1% have convinced the rest of us that they deserve to slaughter us pigs, and take every iota of our collective bodies for their benefit!
I'm reading this now. Almost finished. While a major takeaway is food safety, Sinclair's goal was to hit our hearts, not our stomachs. He set out to stir us into fighting the 1% of wealth. The health of humankind depends on rising up agains the chasm between 1% & the 99%. All of us!
What happened @bsky.app? Over night there’s now scantily clad men and women in my discover feed. I clicked on a woman bc she claimed to be a heart surgeon. Then I got a man in ladies scanty panties and another guy in little undies “after a run”. So weird and awkward.
She's working her ass off to destroy the USA!
“Well, what was he doing out at 3 a.m. wearing those daisy dukes & twink top? Was he... asking for it?” Maybe if Edward “Big Balls” Coristine didn’t strut around with all that fiscal provocation—barely covering his libertarian extremities—we wouldn’t have had this unfortunate little incident.
Republicans: "The democrats use words about our leaders that resonate and describe us perfectly. Let's take those same words and aim it at them." [pause of projection] "Why doesn't this work against them?"
When your marketing materials originate from a little place called Moscow, you're gonna get some slips.
Trump: “The jobs numbers are fake because they weren’t flattering to me.” Also Trump is firing a non-partisan commissioner in retaliation for his brain boo boo. The only stats he trusts come from Fox & Friends and his bail bondsman. Sit down, loser.
I was trying to go back to sleep but the horror of this shocked me awake. Strong coffee couldn’t wake me this much. W.T.F.

Imagine referring to the scene of one of the biggest sex trafficking scandals of our time as a privilege. This man could step on a rake and still act like it was a golf club.
This is a cool 5-minute mashup of metal and metal-adjacent songs from artists like Black Sabbath, NIN, Metallica, Dio, Rage Against the Machine, KISS, and Soundgarden. youtu.be/dSn5c8HArw4?...

I wonder which author of Project 2025 wrote that Truth tweet thing.

Moskowitz responds to red-state disasters with compassion and empathy with a genuine hope to help. MAGA would see this and scream that he's one of the weather controllers ... "investigate him!!!" also: "He's DEI!"
Propelled by farting fiery diarrhea ketchup, Super Trump covers his cabinet and constituents with condiment excretions and suffocates his enemies with sulfuric stank.
That dude is a Poe. His profile pic is ai generated. And his profile banner is from a 2017 women’s march after Trump was elected. “He” is getting the attention he’s hoping for.
I’m mad I got a clean report! I have to wait 10 years to do it again!
Colonoscopy prep with certain doctors isn’t as bad anymore. The drink has been replaced by liquids that don’t suck.
Do it for yourself. Do it for the Power Nap.
He said “slaw and boredom” … not law and order.

Mike Johnson: "All men are created equal" .... except the brown ones, and the black ones, and the ones who don't believe like we do ... The view that they work for all Americans while the majority of them are lily white is all the communication needed.
Speaker Mike Johnson just now: We want able-bodied people to go back to work. When are these white men and women going to go to work of us?
Look at this Frenchie diva and the little stick she found. 😅🤪😂🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺#frenchiesofbsky #buenosaires

I cook everyday. I cook for bougie friends and neighbors. I create entire menus out of mostly aldi groceries. You’ll find TJ branded food at Aldi in Europe. If you know what you’re doing, Aldi kicks ass. My foodie friends don’t know where I shop but their licked-clean plates speak volumes.
@npr.org @wbez.org Your broadcast is stuck in a Matrix loop and won't stop playing the same 20 seconds over and over and over!!!
This Jon Stewart piece from Monday night's Daily Show peeled back the layers of political hypocrisies and lack of critical thought. His plea for some violence-hating pols, advocate violence against their perceived enemies. We are not united and this is plain language why. youtu.be/3Q08a7BI9XI
Some folks get grandma’s spaghetti recipe. Republicans get the same stale recipe for war and tax cuts for the ultra-rich. And they keep serving it like it’s fresh. It's served from a obese man wearing a stained apron, a hairnet, ice cream scoop plopped on our collective tray plates with a dry thud.
Grandma left you her sauce recipe. The GOP left their kids a war budget and a how-to guide for funneling money to billionaires.
ChatGPT generated this slightly altered version to appease the offended. It did say that some Alaskan people refer to themselves as "eskimos" as others have pointed out. There are people who don't appreciate the Inuit term either.
Better be careful, old dude. FBI gonna come knock on your door and then knock on yo head. ;)
Still has tiny hands and a mushroom in his pants.
The headline triggered hilarious parody. To take this seriously is sad.
There was no one at the parade. How embarrassing.
The drinking bleach crew is on fire on X & RFK Jr. I responded to a person who said, Chlorine Dioxide is in our drinking water/Don't believe the BS. So I encouraged him to show us a video drinking bleach so we could see the result. Whelp, that got me suspended for violence. #boohoo
Trump plans to honor dodging the draft with a military parade. Trump, will be seen clapping like a toddler watching fireworks wishing the tanks were gold plated A banner reading “Avoiding Combat Since ’68” will wave above the scene. Hegseth will christen him with the Bone Spurs medal of Dishonor.
Trump dodged Vietnam with fake bone spurs, now he’s getting a military parade. Tanks and troops for a guy who gets winded on ramps. Only combat he’s seen was with a well-done steak—and ketchup stains on his bib. Let’s be real: the tanks are there to stop him from fleeing to Russia.
This dude @crispysaid added the ruler graphic which is very helpful to visualize. Bondi at 59 would be on a 2" heel (maybe 3") and trump on 1" to 2" lifts. At most we've got trump in the 5'8"-5'9" zone. This man couldn't tell the truth if he was standing next to an exit at 7/11.
I saw a meme with this image of Bondi and Trump shoulder to shoulder. The meme was some Pimp&Ho language. I don't like ambitious women being labeled as sex workers. But my 1st thought after reading was: Even with heels/lifts, there's clearly not 9-11"difference, Trump claims he's 6'3", Bondi 5'4".
That's so cool of you to add the ruler graphics!
They are both wearing heels, so don't come at me with a technicality. She'd have to be wearing 7"-8" heals to get that close to his 6'3"-ness.
Slightly as important ... Pam Bondi is 5'4" according to the internet. The Pimp claims he's 6'3". Standing/walking side by side, there should be almost a foot difference in their height. 😏
I didn't find the message empty.
They love demonstrations of strength against against their perceived enemies. These people around me LOVE ruthlessly deporting immigrants. I'm out of my mind trying to understand people I "loved" and now question their misguided moralities. I don't believe our politics are against each other.
Maybe I'm naive, but RW presidents historically raise the deficit while democratic ones try to lower it. Or is this oversimplified? I'm not going to finish line by line. But the police state during BLM was heralded by my cons friends. Also the Bible Photo Op with Trump.
