maybe it’s just my fat negroness but i thought ice cream sandwiches involved like
ice cream
and shit
I told my dad about these today and he looked at me like why would anyone ever do that to food.
As I laugh into my ice cream.
Okay, so here’s the thing - I used to each animal crackers with coolwhip a lot. Especially back when they still made chocolate cool-whip. So this is a flavor combo I actually *like*. That said, this is just plain dumb. Really. This is never going to “fool” you into thinking you’ve had a satisfying ice-cream sandwich. Just eat the damn ice-cream sandwich you want, and skip the synthetic lite cool whip (gag.) Everyone comes out happier.
the vatican owns 2 different versions of jesus’s foreskin
u think im kidding im not its called the holy prepuce
because apparently jesus had 2 foreskins which have to be kept under security
Even better: The vatican doesn’t own them all. I know of at least one other off the top of my head (contained in the “A of Charlemagne,” if memory serves.) The Louvre (I believe,) owns three “true crowns of thorns.”
I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
There are many things that one thinks they won’t see in their lifetime. Watching the president of the United States of America affirm the love of my mom and her partner of nearly 30 years was one of them. No more. Thank you, Mr. President. You have joined the right side on this issue and we welcome you.
An important note to remember - it’s more than just personal ability, it’s yet another form of institutional racism.
I have difficulty understanding people (regardless of accent or perceived lack thereof) when I can’t see them talking. (It has to do with ADD and my inability to filter out noises unless I am engaging visually.) However, the fact that *I* have difficulty understaning someone has no bearing on *their* intelligence. As my studet exchange orientation trainers always said, they don’t talk fast, you listen slow.
Social justice is about destroying systematic marginalisation and privilege. Wishing to live in a more just, more equal world is simply not the same thing as wishing to live in a “nicer” world. I am not suggesting niceness is bad or that we should not behave in a nice way towards others if we want to! I also do not equate niceness with cooperation or collaboration with others. Here’s all I am saying: the conflation of ethical or just conduct (goodness), and polite conduct (niceness) is a big problem.
