On the one hand, I have ethical qualms about outing people before they’re ready.
On the other hand, the policies they’re pushing are literally going to get many of us killed. So I’m kinda leaning towards “fuck those backstabbing assholes.”

Hey, look! They found where all of those “thoughts and prayers” go after each school shooting.

Last night, I did something no one in the history of the world has ever attempted. At karaoke, I sang REM’s “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It.” My bravery is unmatched.

LOOK AT OUR SON BOONE!
I may have mentioned before that he auditioned for and got into the house band at our local School of Rock where he has his regular lessons. (The house band plays gigs and events as a sort-of promotion for the school.)
Anyway, they were invited to play on a bill with two other SoCal School of Rock house bands at the House of Blues Foundation Room in Anaheim. The gig was Saturday night and they FUCKING KILLED IT.
I’m so proud, my brain is just a constant SQUEEEEEEEEEE!

I get the same reaction seeing those Tumblr Live things at the top of my dash that I did when a young-looking narc tried to pose as a student at our high school.

I had an Ides of March joke I was going to post, but my friend stole it and posted it first. He totally stabbed me in the back.

Not sure if you’re the “head to a pub on St. Paddy’s Day” kinda person, but IF YOU ARE I have a way to avoid the crowds…
Consider, this St. Patrick’s Day, celebrating the San Patricios (or the St. Patrick’s Battalion). In the late 1840s, this battalion of mostly Irish immigrants to America were conscripted to fight in the American army in the Mexican-American War in order to “earn” citizenship.
On the battlefield, however, the largely Catholic battalion realized they were fighting Mexican Catholics, their religious brothers. So, they defected and began fighting alongside their former adversaries against America in what they realized was an unjust war.
They became legends and to this day the San Patricios are heroes in Mexico.
So, if you want to go get a drink or two today, go to a Mexican restaurant. They’re never crowded on St. Patrick’s Day. ¡And toast the brave San Patricios!
