I love not using the recommended yarn, making a gauge swatch, or choosing the recommended size for the pattern based on my measurements! This surely will work out fine

The most shocking course of events have occurred

The fact that Charlene Kaye has started an all-girl Radiohead cover band called Labiahead and Lena Hall is the lead singer is a string of words that I think would have actually made my 19-year-old brain explode.

And the fact that I very likely am not available to go to their debut concert is an actual travesty. Like, I am so mad.

I just felt these tags were too important not to add @blacksasuke

The particular segment of medical racism that says ‘Black people are built tougher’ is a great example of why ‘positive’ stereotypes don’t exist. 

Adding your tags, prev, cause.. yeah.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

just an addition - of the records he beat today, two are majorly of note.

one was Ted Cruz (im sure some have heard of him; hes the one that went out of country when his state froze and dozens died yeah hes a pos) Senator of texas, overall piece of shit (he was my senator i can say that; i moved hes still senator) and he was doing it to ~block affordable healthcare~ (ie healthcare from gov like most of you have in favor of our lovely hellish version, private healthcare)

and Strom Thurmond. who was against brown v board. he was against desegregating. basically he was a horrifically racist man (my b he did that for funsies, he did the fillibuster against black people just, getting the right to vote! (57 civil rights act) not even the citizens act. he just fucking hated black people)

so among other things - it means something that for once - the record is being held by someone wanting to improve the US. to increase our rights. rather than to keep them away from people. this was not a fillubuster, was just for funsies, but im hoping they start using that fillubuster since we cant work at getting rid of it

and please dont let it be lost on you how cory booker is black. and he just broke the record of someone who didnt even think they should share water. ihe only died in 03. history is not that long ago. improvements, even while superficial, are meaningful. we have more to do, but, its a start. people asked him to do better, and he did/ is trying. lets hope (ask not so politely or politely ofc) the same from the rest of them.
