My next Black History Month request:

Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!

[tsundere-isopods]

There's Yusuke, Capybara, Goth Vegeta, and Rose Guy.

My friend, recalling Team Urameshi.

[mysharona1987]

Gop flat out admitting they don’t want young people to vote, tho.

They are even acknowledging she isn’t telling anyone how to vote.

Just telling them to vote makes her bad.

[theconcealedweapon]

Encouraging people to vote, without even telling them who to vote for, is considered "far left".

Well, there's some good news here. They're openly admitting to what they're afraid of. They're afraid of a high voter turnout, because they know that they lose whenever that happens.

[quasi-normalcy]

Republicans consistently lose elections with high turnout.

[wilwheaton]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Yeah, irrelevant political party, please pick a fight with Taylor Swift and her fanbase of empowered women. Go. Do it. I dare you. I double dog dare you.

I'm impressed that he has four likely and possible-sounding names to pick from.

[elt]

@neil-gaiman did that actually happen to you? Pretty funny nevertheless

[neil-gaiman]

It did. Although it was in the advanced readers copy of Neverwhere, so we caught it before it went out to the public. Universal Find and Replace is never your friend.

[ladyshinga]

[jjeremysstash]

Truth is, it reads more like "she can do everything" and "him, it's just Ken"

And ken is a slang used in French that means "to fuck"

So "Him, it's just fucking"

Which I think is even more hilarious

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]
