“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job. So I have decided to leave the Post.”
just got off the phone with a financial institution which, for the second time in a few months, made a transaction that caused me panic because of a decision "the computer" made
and each time I called and talked to a person, they assured me it's just a decision the computer made and it's nobody's fault
I ask them who operates the computers? It's you. So fix the mistake and prevent it from happening again.
I'm not accepting this like it's the fucking weather
“I’ve worked for the Washington Post since 2008 as an editorial cartoonist. … I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.” https://anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-quitting-the-washington-post?utm_campaign=post&triedRedirect=true
i mean this sincerely:
unless you literally take Native, Black, Latino, Asian families by the hand to these fridges WE WONT USE THEM.
it’s due to getting shot dead for existing.
this is a MAGA’s dream target shooting practice if random BIPOC folks show up.
white people taking free anything without asking is “mutual aid”. if it involves us? it’s theft.
so get out of your white privilege comfort zone and take BIPOC to these fridges. not just invite, meet them there.
that’s true praxis.
Parentalpocalypse, Day 3B
Mom mentioned the other day that she wanted to try sushi next time she was up.
Challenge accepted.
I actually had a plan for this, since they were both iffy about trying it.
1) I would pick the sushi but not eat it. They'd eat it, and if they didn't like it, I would finish it, and we'd move to another sushi.
2) if everything went bad, we'd hit Jack in the Box.
And the verdict?
Dad loved it! Mom liked it, but isn't big on cold/room temp food. She did say it was good but not something she'd seek out.
We didn't need to hit Jack in the Box, and honestly, I had to start grabbing plates for me because they were eating it all.
Mission accomplished!
