It’s a good thing I’m a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.

Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.

Just you wait. Given some of the dumb things that have come out of people’s mouths, I would definitely not be surprised to see a headline like:

BREAKING: Corporate scientists suggest microplastic problem be solved with acid rain.

As well he should have; do you see those legs? *chef’s kiss*

I like to think of it like a broken bone. Yes, your overall health is important; no one is questioning that. But if you go into the ER with a broken bone and the doctor tells you that they’re going to ignore your injury in favor of telling you to take your vitamins, they’re an asshole who doesn’t care about your pain or healing your injury.

Systemic racism is the broken bone. No one (except, perhaps, assholes and billionaires) disagrees that all lives have value. Saying “all lives matter” in response to “black lives matter,” though, is saying “let’s wilfully ignore the problem because I am clearly okay with the status quo.”

Edit to fix typo.

Of course

I’m a fan of calling it Xitter, personally.

Wow, those could rival any corgi butt I’ve seen!

She would almost certainly have threatened to contact her “solicitor,” not her “attorney,” if it were real, given she’s from/in the UK. Still a very entertaining read, though.
