I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Add me to the micro-bladers. I’ve had it done twice. Am probably due again, but the person who did mine was in tx and it’s not really in the budget right now so I’m back to powder when I bother.

ETA microbladders is a whole different thing, although that may also apply.

Punishingly Intricate

Schumer’s book tour is postponed for “security reasons.” Coward. I was looking forward to yelling at him tonight at the Pratt.

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

I'm not sure we can afford to count on long term strategizing if the short term is going to just discard the rule of law entirely. Personally.

I don't know what microblading is but it sounds like something I don't need to know about, so that's ok. I wish you all success with your brow management process of choice!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Laura, my color was totally custom. So they can do a shade darker than your natural if you don't want to be Too Dark.

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

SO MUCH THIS.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Always Anti-fascist!

I was hoping someone I knew would get the chance to do that, Lisa. Because I kind of figured someone might, cause it's Baltimore...it might be nice to feel represented for a change!(Although it's nice for once to feel like the Senators from AZ did the right thing...that doesn't happen every day, to put that mildly.) And I know, as someone who's always had to bring her own seat to the table and reads the word "institution" as an automatic "No, thanks,"(I know--not the same ones.)I start out critical of guys like Schumer, but when we see him, it's usually bad. Why is it so hard for him to get that the wheeler-dealer, horse-trader era(or fundraising skills, because whatever boosted him is not skill at explaining Democratic values to the public, I'd stake what remains of my life on that) but it's a different era now. As much as I, personally, think Bernie Sanders is bomb, the people showing up in Nebraska might or might not. What they want is an assignment of sorts. Bernie is a bit of a hard grader, and has really scaled up a vision of a "group project"--Back when, maybe that would be Chuck's job, though.(or at least, he could have talked to some machine guy once, and not had to herd a million donkeys.)

Agree but at the same time it would be nice if Democrats could come up with a Project 2025 equivalent of their own.

Here's one version our Executive Director works on. In case that link doesn't work, or you just want to learn more, it's called the 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights...it's based off one of FDR's last speeches, but, you know, updated. [link]
