Happy Birthday Dana!

I am a sucker for a good grandma slice but when I make pizza at home it's almost always a white pie. Go fig.

Pizza has arrived, and it is good. Thanks again!

Pizza, like chocolate - even when it's bad it's good. (YMMV)

I have definitely had bad chocolate. Like, spit it out that is nasty bad. I don't remember what was wrong with it, but I sure remember the betrayal

Oooh, Pizza Bianca.

I haven't made pizza in a while, that might be a thing for this weekend.

Dana, I hope you get some relief, and that your birthday winds up happy.

Oh, and an acquaintance from high school got all butt-hurt because I defriended here for posting "all lives matter."

I've been not on for a few days, so I'm just catching up.

I'm fucking exhausted by explaining why you don't "correct" "Black lives matter" to "All lives matter." I can't even fathom how black people feel about this bullshit.

Our community page is really showing the people of our town for what they are good and bad. At least the bad ones I can tell off or write off. It's the dunderheads in the squishy middle who are exhausting, because I feel like, if they're just clueless people of good will, if someone doesn't cluestick them, they're going to slide into willful ignorance.

Happy Birthday, Dana!

In re chocolate, I came across this quote (I think it was from Catherine Valente, but I'm not sure), "carob tastes not of chocolate or treats but a fallen world and your parents' lies" (again, YMMV)

OMG, this! I had a "friend" (more like friendly acquaintance, but FB doesn't make that distinction) post a seemingly sincere, "why is saying All Lives Matter a problem", post. So I (plus a mutual friend, plus a couple of his friends that I don't know gave answers. Ranging from posting a meme, posting statistics, posting long, thought out answers. He just kept doubling down with "what about this, what about that...?" so after about my 4th answer I said, "I'm going to stop responding to this post now. We've given you sincere answers, but it doesn't seem like you're here to learn. It seems like you're looking for an argument or for someone to tell you you're right, and I'm not here for that." The only response I got to that was one of his female friends liking my post.

A little later that night, he posted a meme with a picture of a black baby and some "statistic" about "more black babies are aborted than born in New York - All Lives Matter". I noped out; hit Snooze on him.

Your "friendly" neighborhood sea lion?
