Ditto. On a related topic, is it better to block these numbers or do the ol’ “stop2end” thing? I know the whole “if you respond they know your number/email is legit” argument, but I’ve never been clear on whether that advice applies to all spam equally or just the shadiest.

Greensboro’s protests today were spread out across several miles over a main drag, so the pocket we found ourselves in was small but mighty!

We had a very nice pumpkin, and then a squirrel decided to claim it. No other pumpkin on the block seems to have been attacked like this. How’d we get so lucky?

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

A penguin at the Greensboro Science Center. I wonder if there’s a raven out there somewhere named Penguin.

Tragedies like Walker’s are so unnecessary. Medical professionals shouldn’t be scared to do their jobs.

First night of this year’s NC Folk Fest. This is Samir LanGus and his band, playing gnawa music. If that’s new to you, join the club! It’s new to me too!

Highlights from Greensboro Pride today: opening the main stage with my vocal ensemble; the guy who went up and down Elm St. leading a “Donald Trump has a small penis” chant; and the drag king who lip synched to Freddy Mercury while dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the One Ring.

It’s a beautiful night for baseball! Never mind that your team is down 13 to 1 in the ninth. The weather is still perfect, and you’re with your friends, and hey, at least they made the playoffs, and who can complain about extra baseball?

I won a pasta salad/potato salad/cole slaw cookoff today, and I can’t shake the imposter syndrome about it because the recipe was from a cookbook and four of my votes came from my family.

Well, I know *I* should use the library more than I do. I’m gonna work on that.

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.

The problem with claiming to be “colorblind” is that the act of ignoring race usually also ends up meaning ignoring racism and its consequences as well. Sometimes that’s precisely the intent.

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in July.

Immigrants do not have to contribute exceptionally to deserve safety Immigrants do not have to permanently grovel to their new country to justify their existence Immigrants are allowed to be just as mediocre, grumpy or homesick as anyone else

Yup, our MAGA neighbor across the street felt so threatened by the pride flags on our block that he started flying what is apparently a “straight pride” flag all June … which actually resembles the bi flag of you don’t look at it closely, so we were a bit surprised the first time.

This is our new kitten, Humphrey Cheesecake. We didn’t plan to get a new kitten (we’re actually preparing to get an adult dog), but he landed in our laps, and we weren’t about to push him off! Cat Distribution System at work.

“Avoid highways” and “avoid tolls” are both well and good, but how about “avoid left turns across four lanes of traffic with no light”?

Happened to get this question in a Trivial Pursuit published in 2000 (Genus 5) tonight.

These days, there are always multiple reasons a decision by or priority of this administration is horrific, and this piece lays out another (or one that was new to me anyway) on birthright citizenship.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

We went to Greensboro Pride this weekend! My vocal group always kicks it off with the National Anthem, and this year we had a short set, too. triadprideperformingarts.org
