When I really think about the ways in which white people (no, I'm not using a qualifier so don't look for one) expect BBIMP to be in uncomfortable spaces for the sake of preserving friendships and/or making themselves feel better. As kids they invite you to their home & tell

I don't even know where to begin with this.
I will say that every person -- scratch that -- every man (they've all been men, mostly white) I've ever met who wants to have kids to "keep his genes going" has been utterly deluded about his looks, brains, and abilities. They've also been dateless.

Elon Musk (father of 11) supports their cause. Thousands follow their ideology. Malcolm and Simone Collins are on a mission to make it easier for everyone to have multiple children. But are they really model parents?

Spoutible has one of the best list features of any platform.

Andi Pandi @AndiPandiOneThe lack of a simple List feature for Spoutible does stick in my craw. @CBouzy seems philosophically opposed to folks dictating thread content for themselves. 🤷♂️ He gotta have input, apparently.11:26 AM - May 28, 2024

There's another one. A young pupper named Ollie.

My husband usually watches the Giro and the Vuelta. Right now there’s hockey playoffs though.

When candidates are roughly equal, I vote for the woman. Biased? No. Just my small attempt to correct historical lack of representation. Also, you're damn right I'm biased.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseMy Rep Annie Kuster isn't running for reelection, and she endorsed her former aid, business person, and losing gubernatorial candidate Colin Van Ostern. But now Maggie Goodlander has jumped into the race and has a much more impressive resume at the national level. Plus I'd love to keep a female Rep.06:59 PM - May 26, 2024

And not just work harder – they'll also bring a broader & more useful perspective to public office as someone who's suffered from oppression than the WM oppressor.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseSame. Until there's true gender parity (& equal rights for all marginalized folks) we need to vote with representation in mind. & far more often than not, the woman/BBIMP/LGBTQ+ candidate will be better than the cishet white man, cuz they've had to work harder & be better to excel without privilege.01:14 AM - May 27, 2024

He's not "deeply Catholic" either. He is a convert. And many, many converts, especially white male ones, converted to the religion because they see an "ancient" religion that fits their misogyny and racist views!

My mom called me the head of household and I said no we're equal partners like you and dad. She said every household has a head even if you're partners and me and my dad are because we handle the finances. I do them because it's in my wheelhouse not because I'm in charge. Curious what others think.

When the Trail of Tears happened, Tr*mp wasn't here.
Or when some bonehead decided the Japanese internment camps made sense ... no Tr*mp.
Tr*mp is not the core rot of the country.

Bill Howard @PurePlayTrump gives them license. A third of any population only behaves appropriately because of social norms and the cost of violating them. Trump violates them intentionally and incessantly, releasing these people and earning their allegiance.10:49 PM - May 21, 2024

Thinking I’m relegated to lurking for a piece. Life is getting busy with Summer coming and I’m really missing some of my fave peeps and the glorious hijinks that ensued with their participation. I still love these waters; they just feel a little choppy as of late.

I am a 68 year old living breathing #Secret . My birth mother (who I have met) has never told her other children about me even though I am a full sibling of theirs. She had 7 children with my birth father after placing me for adoption. I have respected her wishes to remain an unknown entity. #Dribble

I was born in a small town that had a ship building industry for many years. I always believed that my birth father was either a ship builder or a sailor. I found out that he was both. Some things we just know in our bones lol.

I don't know about wild predators, but my dog was absolutely not born with a fear of skunks. Nor does she appear to be developing one.

Alberto Pastor @albertopastor"But how do wild animals know that skunks pack such a potent punch? After all, even formidable predators such as bears, wolves, and mountain lions very rarely attack the black-and-white critters."

LOL. We didn't work today doing siding because of the rain...which still hasn't come at 2:40 (although it finally looks like it's about to). But I managed to mow the lawn, prep the pea bed, and so some polyurethaning.

On the plus side he's bungled things so badly with Harry's family that he's making the case daily for why the monarchy is a stale outdated relic that should be dissolved. He and the heir drove out the best chance they had for a modern firm and look more and more petty and small every day.
