Yesterday a kid said to me “excuse me? Your hair looks like beautiful anime hair” which is already amazing and then she said “watch me on your camera when I go down the slide I’m going to do the Peter Griffin death pose when I come out” and she sure did.
Reminder to never forget that no one expects a war until there is one, and to never take these extremist republicans lightly. Right before the civil war, pro-slavery South Carolina congressman Preston Brooks beat anti-slavery Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner nearly to death with a cane. Afterwards, the Democratic Party sent Brooks a new cane inscribed with the words “hit him again” and Party members began wearing pieces of the broken cane as necklaces. I can’t help but feel like Republican celebration of January 6th and conservative violence could be a very ominous sign of what’s to come.
