Yes, many folks treat the people they consider peers better than the people they (consciously and sub-consciously) consider lesser.

And folks can dislike individuals from any demographic for a wide variety of reasons. It’s about what behavior/ choices are consistent, persistent, and common.

I encourage white men to consider how “He’s always been fine around me” comes across especially when it’s presented as a counterpoint to problematic behavior being highlighted by minorities.

And perhaps ask why you feel compelled to defend that person.

French board game designer association SAJ has renamed itself to make its title more inclusive to women and non-binary people, as well as to better underscore its status as a union:

Heya airport pal. Safe journey to you!

Montana Supreme Court Rules Its Constitution Entirely Protects Trans Citizens In Landmark Ruling The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.

The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Sure.

And I do.

But until that time comes?

Tip.

Me too.

But it’s not.

And not tipping doesn’t move that needle.

Ok.

But NOT tipping hasn’t led to better pay either.

Sure some businesses are super unethical and steal the tips from workers. I won’t knowingly patronize those places. But generally tips are a good way to ensure more of what you pay goes to the workers.

Not really interested in “what if the service is bad?” arguments. Everyone has a bad day...they still deserve to eat and make rent. Short of some shithead being super bigoted (which has happened to me) I hand wave mediocre service and effing tip.

In the USA… if you can’t afford to tip well then you can’t afford the service.

We don’t pay our service workers enough… not even close to living wage for most. So the “tip” is part of the fee to eat out/vacation/etc.

I mean, sure. You do you. But even if the service is meh, I’d tip decently. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hoping your day gets more delightful.

Long story longer… she was newly adopted (at 4) and I was afraid to let her leash go. She was amazing with all people but aggro to small animals. So I death-gripped the leash. I fell on my butt and she she was strong enough to drag me through the muddy bank into the lake. In retrospect, it’s funny.

Wishing you better days and more spoons. 💗

It happened exactly 50% around the lake meaning I had a soaking wet 1.5 mile walk back to my car.

Best dog I ever had.

Dog lunged at geese… and 80lbs dog was strong and jerked me off my feet. Lunged to geese (away from baby), knocking me onto my butt, and dragged my sad ass INTO the lake as she chased the birds.

So I’m on my back, dragged into lake, with horrified onlookers.

To avoid looking like she was lunging at the baby (when she was lunging at the geese) i walked her between baby and geese. So it was (left to right) group with baby on path… me and big goofy dog… geese… lake.

Would you accept a dog wrangling story?

Walking my adopted Rottweiler around a lake. Had to choose between walking between a flock of geese by the lake (that she’d chase) or around them which meant around a group with a stroller (Tbf they were clogging the path chatting)

The new Paddington movie sounds badass.

That happens to me pretty frequently too! I think it’s cuz I rush. Do I learn my lesson? Apparently not.

April 13 EASY Clues by Sam grid showing 2 yellow error squares.

Both of my errors in today's #CluesBySam are because I do not know my left and right. 🫣

I'm just going to blame the lack of coffee.

It's actually wonderful to be on social media during moments like this.

My feed is completely filled with people celebrating Artemis.

What awesome joy to witness and be part of.

Hope you enjoy Unmatched Hellboy later this year. 😘

So, I couldn’t resist the urge to make a new print based on the Artemis II mission. #art #artemisii
