And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

meanwhile, people in Deen's restaurants were working in a hostile work environment. for years.

Yeah, the people defending her seem to forget that she's not actually in trouble for using a racial slur in a private conversation. I mean, that's what she's in trouble for in Facebook, but what she's being sued for is violating anti-discrimination laws and mistreating her employees.

(I just had to walk away from a FB argument with someone who was very upset that Deen is being censored like this. Last time I checked, the Food Network was not a branch of government, but I'm waiting to be corrected on that.)

Right? I'd be fired for using slurs. Also? people saying she's a racist d-bag is not censoring her, IT IS BEING DECENT. omg.

And Rice was actually saying that a white person could not be offended by use of the slur? really? I boggle.

This person was saying that her being fired was a form of censorship. Because I guess now the only outlets she has to be racist on are EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE FOOD NETWORK.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That is f'ing awesome.

Seriously, I love living in the future.

And I grabbed a bunch of movies and vids and threw them onto my Google Drive last night so I can watch them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Which way are you going, Hec? I'll wave when I hear the whistle if you're Sacramento-ward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Holy shit, I saw a seal in SF Bay from the train. Coooool.

I'm going to take a bold stance and declare that seals are better than racism.

At first, I thought he said he saw a seal ON the train, and I was like, WAAAAY better than racism!

I just had to walk away from a FB argument with someone who was very upset that Deen is being censored like this.

My favorite (SPOILER: that was sarcasm) comments are the ones where she was raised in a racist time period, so it's okay. Guess what? We're living in a racist time period NOW. Still not okay!

The Amtrak app says you won't be here for another 15 minutes, I wasn't prepared.
