I don't know what it says about me that I am completely, 100% unsurprised at Consuela's job's job posting fuckup. I expected that something exactly like that would happen. It's fully consistent with their bureaucracy and crappy treatment of her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, someone put together a webpage that shows homophobic language being used on twitter.
