When life gives you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys. I’m LGBT and think I’m funnier than I actually am. I may or may not be obsessed with the Simpsons. Animist. Autism is a way of life. (He/Him) In dog beers, I’ve only had one. Under no pretext.

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Crater Lake is a strange place, wasn't known to whites until 1853. Lots of Indigenous memory tales of the massive explosion (c. 5700 BCE) that created it. Mazama Newt is my new pen name, fyi. #AnInfluencerIsBorn

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.
