make performers preregister if they want to have just a mustache + wear a dressy casual outfit because it codes as young fascist to me
Every time a pro cyclist is hit by a driver it's a good reminder of how silly so much of the victim blaming around bicyclists is. These are the best, most skilled riders in the world and even they get hit! Turns out it's not about the rider.

I like it when problematic people confront their problematic subject and for once aren’t a problem about it. In this case, it’s Augustine and his fraught relationship with sex. Gives me hope for myself and my million problems. Guys, I am such a problem.
