It’s for cleaning your horse while riding.

After reading I now appreciate David Gerard’s dedication.

The article above, that you didn’t read, talks about the speaker of the house and surveyed Americans.

There’s a section on his Wikipedia page about his political activism and work with politicians.

I literally just threw up. I feel better now though.

It was a joke about entrapment. It wasn’t an endorsement of America’s police.

I’m not falling for that officer.

It was meant to be a self depreciating joke, but now I can’t help myself. I think this topic ends up having everybody involved make a bunch of assumptions about each other before it begins.

However, I have experienced people say that they, “don’t want to get political,” right after being confronted for saying something misinformed, hurtful, etc. It can be weaponized as an excuse to avoid self reflection.

I know that isn’t the case for everybody, but I have seen, “don’t make things political,” used as, “don’t bring in politics at odds with my own.” It’s often not even recognized by that person as being hypocritical. Sometimes our own politics can become the default in our mind and everybody else’s view is the “political” one.

Your apathy is part of the problem.

Yes, I am that friend/relative.

There’s a big difference between a bigger slice of the pie and taking all of the pies and making everybody share the crumbs. It’s an incomprehensible wealth disparity.

A lot of lighter fluid and a lighter works great too!

Goodbye stickers!.. and house…

My current job is great about leave requests, but it’s taken me three years to finally get comfortable using it. Every other job I had would either make a fuss or guilt workers for using leave.

On top of that, I had the idea that you have to go to school or work sick unless you can’t get up passed down to me from my parents. They meant well. They were teaching me how to deal with the types of work environments they knew.

Toxic work culture can be so widespread that it sticks with you.
