Occasion for a meltdown a little while ago: the salad I was about to eat fell in the floor!

(Because I did an, erm, questionable balancing act again stashing it in the fridge earlier. And that was the last of the salad fixings 😬)

I thought this was going to say, “I’m RAW BOSS.”

i don’t know how many times i’m gonna have to say it:

if voting did not matter, republicans would not be making it this hard for you to vote

We need more appropriately snarky handicap signs out there.

I love this lol! I know they probably won’t do it but I’m still submitting this as a suggestion for how to improve my city to city officials. Like so many people are like “it’s not a big deal” when informed it’s illegal to park without a valid pass (which I pay for- it’s not free). If they had to experience what I do for a few minutes even I’m sure most would be nope nope not worth it don’t want this spot.

“Angels” block the Westboro Baptist Church from protesting Orlando victim’s funeral

When a handful of Westboro Baptist Church members showed up Saturday at the funeral of Orlando shooting victim Christopher Leinonen, counterprotesters donning large, white angel wings were there to shield mourners. Members of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater put together the wings as a symbolic but also literal screen between the WBC and funeral attendees. An Orlando Police tweet later proved the efforts to stop the WBC worked.

Okay, but I’m actually crying tears of frustration, because the article doesn’t even mention the history behind this act.

There’s a reason this was undertaken by a theatre company. It means they knew The Laramie Project. It means they knew that the idea for the angel wings came from their use to block the WBC at the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student who was murdered in Wyoming in 1998.

The original “Angel Action” was a counterprotest organized by LGBTQ activist Romaine Patterson, who had been a friend of Shepard’s in high school. This is part of our history. We’ve been shielding our loved ones from hate groups while we bury our dead for decades – and that deserves acknowledgement.

Reblogging for the added information.

Baby name websites are out of control these days…

At least ¾ of these are actual established names, just a) foreign b) out of style or c) both. The only one that seems obviously absurd to me is Quirt.

You cannot tell me there is a child on this earth actually called “i n c r e a s e”

It’s very rare nowadays, but it was a well-known Puritan name. It’s a literal translation of the Hebrew “Joseph”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Increase_(given_name)
