"Have you seen these turkish-style bath sheets?"

I had not, Now I want them. I don't need them.

chuckle Happens.

Hey, Shady, what was the FB stress you were agonizing over yesterday?

Not agonizing as much as amused by. It is on going. Voting v. Undoc immigrants.

Oh, ugh.

census fuckery?

The Constitution calls for representation of all "persons," not all citizens. There, done. Get rid of the citizenship question.

Yep! And my acquaintance went off the far right end some years ago. Myself, I am trying to read her points and respond with sources.

Agreed!

Her response on that pivots on the word 'should' so...

They sure as hell count babies and felons in the census - who are citizens, but non-voters

(Now, I also think felons should vote. But that's a different issues)

Meanwhile, Shady, I've got a mutual friend of ours saying that reframing "illegal aliens" as "undocumented immigrants" is exactly the same thing as reframing "children" as "underage women" in the Epstein case.

Saying that one is just as bad as the other.

He seems to have a deep misunderstanding of power dynamics

Well, and human rights.

the children and the migrants are the victims here

"illegal alien" is a phrase designed to be dehumanizing

and you get racists sealioning that that's what they aaarrrreeeeee and look at the dictionary definition of alien! They aren't racist, they're just being OBJeCTIVE.

Undocumented implies that they might not be illegal!!!

ok, getting myself worked up over these chucklefucks that are okay with torturing children

eyeroll Well, yes...we can name many things what they are by their dictionary definitions...but the connotations of different choices of synonyms matter.

Yup, sorry.

Butt Dial v Booty Call

HA!

"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned"

"Sorry Daddy, I've been naughty!"

Oh, dear...you know you're giving Coradel ideas....

Channelling CC....

Yup.

Oh, I need this shirt!

cute

Anyway, I have another post to respond to but not yet.

Yup.

Terence's 50th is on Monday. I told you guys he came up with a brilliant suggestion of icebox cake, since we don't have a kitchen?

ooo

Yum!

I'm looking forward to doing that. Haven't made one in ages, and have never made one the traditional way (laying stacks of cookies-and-whipped-cream sideways in a loaf pan, going across, and then filling in the gaps with whipped cream before chilling).

sigh Okay, that Firnost goof is bugging me, still. I think I'm going to clear the room.

aw

Done.

(Ignore that post!)

I was going to mess with Ginger slightly. Buuut I SHOULD be working anyways

I was wondering! Pynki was going to mess with her?

On the whole I suspect it is just as well Frank did not see Ginger Jo.....
