I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Governor JB Pritzker joined elected officials, business, faith, and education leaders, community advocates, and law enforcement leaders to condemn the Trump administration’s plan to deploy the National Guard or active duty military in Chicago despite objections from state and local leadership.

The increasing popularity of Chinese and Korean media was probably a strong indicator. I didn't realize how bad the mall scene in Texas had gotten until I saw The Oldest View by Kane Pixel, which was filmed in Valley View Mall in Dallas. I ended up down a rabbit hole.

1. Keep up with emerging trends and fund market research. 2. A fast nickel beats a slow dime 3. Be fun. It's amusing that the populations driving success are those traditionally ignored.

Alongside the ridiculous fixation on patriarchal lineage?

Maybe this is why eunuchs were a thing.

If you buy the wrong kind, my mother will cook in a quiet rage while repeatedly reminding the entire household that you bought the wrong kind of tomatoes. She will sprinkle in, partially in Spanish, that you're not Mexican, and it's God's punishment for marrying the white guy.

Then, small towns create trauma bond marriages with their Puritanical attitudes on sex. Some of us end up with a short stint in whoredom before turning to the trauma bond marriage. (Pro-tip: ask for fine metals or tuition instead of cars and clothes.)

There's a mall in my town, but hard pass. If I'm in Seattle or Portland, I'll go to Nordstrom. But, honestly, it's for the fragrance samples. I like to close the trip with too many mimosas and testing every new release until I hit the one that repulses me. (Last Round: Diptyque Tempo)

I just realized I have no knowledge of current mall brands.

When I was a field tech, we had an allowance for work shirts and pants. My manager approved a set of brands outside the catalog, which included American Eagle. The department was 60% white. Ssssooo...

It's not a conspiracy, but it's not a simple mistake. Some people think this stuff is funny. I've had plenty of experience with people doing this in professional settings.

It's also odd. Like are they trying to point out that her life is hard and she has no other choice? Or did they have an entirely different write up that was gutted?
