No idea, but whenever I drive by the Kelsey’s near me on a weekend night it’s packed. I really don’t get why anyone would eat there. It’s not any cheaper than independent restaurants.

You are miles ahead of them on spelling.

So I’ve had a fake white supremacist Facebook alt for years. I use it mostly to befriend them and report the racist shit they post and get their accounts deleted. I was hugely successful at doing so for a long time, but since the latest political climate in the US Facebook has decided they’re absolutely fine with all of this and won’t remove anything at all.

However I still hold onto it because sometimes I give information to journalists who cover white supremacists, and sometimes I get enough information on the person to tell their workplace, etc. Basically I just use it to collect information.

Anyway oftentimes some of the men try to hit on my (female) alt, so I end up delicately fending them off sometimes in messenger. Thankfully that’s something I’m good at, but let me tell you the conversation is not scintillating with Nazis. Even these young Patriot Front guys are dumber than bricks, even though many have higher education of some sort. Several men have messaged me from contraband phones in prison, and several have been military members.

There is nothing funnier than a member of the Klan trying to sext though. I’ve had conversations with people with acquired brain injuries that were far more intelligent.

I feel like people who support this type of politics are emotionally blunted and stunted. They’ll use his death as a tool of martyrdom for their movement, which this is a prime example of, but I don’t really feel like anyone loved him or mourned him in any genuine sense. I think it’s because they don’t really have any attachment to anyone in a real sense. I’m not saying that other people of other beliefs don’t use grief as a performative tool either, but I feel like most of the problem with conservatives at the root of it all is blunted emotions.

For some reason I will sneeze many times after I eat breakfast. Only breakfast, I don’t know why.

When I was a kid we had so few POC in our schools; it was simply because there weren’t many here yet. I had one black person in my grade school and three in my high school. It was just our population then, the area was mostly European immigrants back then. It has changed immensely now, and the racism against immigrants here is pretty vile.

Servants is the better word for it. This is the English version of the carol, and it’s probably meant to refer to a royal couple, and this would be their servants. The Swiss and French version of the carol mostly talk about animals and food instead, with one exception in the Swiss version mentioning 12 churches with 12 altars with 12 priests.

Mulder!

I am meticulously polite and helpful. It’s who I am, and I won’t stop because the people who deserve to be treated like I treat people really are worth it.

People who treat you like shit don’t deserve shit.

As an aside, a great deal of CSAM is shared through Facebook, they’ve been asked by CSAM survivors to stop this and they said no. The advocacy survivor group Phoenix 11 submitted six formal questions in the US Congress to old Zuckface fuckface about it, as he deployed end to end encryption which makes this possible, which he dodged like the lying fuck he is. Zuck would sell it himself if it made him a whole dollar and nobody should forget that.

I love Macy’s though, and JC Penney.

This is really beautiful. Is the book available in translation?

Wow does that ever make me shiver, and not in a good way. Imagine saying that about a CHILD.

Well it’s meant to be. I like it regardless.

I knew I loved reading but it made me want to read even more. You’re welcome!

Between, um, Beverly and all the boys.

Please do!

Other than the very shocking gang bang scene it’s a great novel.

I’m getting so many good recommendations and I’m so happy I posted this.

On hold at the library now, wow.
