Sure, these officials are treating the USMNT very unfairly. But *strums guitar*, can I tell you a story about another man who was treated very unfairly by the officials

there's this assumption by the admin that there is an infinite supply of buff KKK members ready to fill the ranks of the military and ICE and I have bad news for them both about the overall number of KKK members and their general fitness level

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

‘We don’t go to no damn football game to see MALE cheerleaders, we go to see super fit dudes in really tight pants kneel down & reach between each others legs, run & tackle until they collapse in a sweaty pile of man so we can get tipsy in the stands & admiringly call ‘em ‘units’

When I was young, people adultified me to assign me all tesponsibiiity. Now that I am old, people talk to me like I’m a child, granting me no autonomy. I do believe the colonial brain will make whatever true that it needs to be true, I swear.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

chicago L has its problems for sure but damn it rocks to live in one of the only parts of the country where my commute can be walking over to my neighborhood rapid transit station, sitting down on the train, and relaxing while getting carried straight to my destination
