Has anyone listened to the Good White Parents podcast? I'm about halfway through the first episode and it's really interesting. The first episode is focused on a school in Brooklyn that had a huge increase in wealthy white families one year who wanted to bring a French program to the school, and the effects this big change had on the PTA and the dynamic among the students. I'm interested in seeing if they offer any solutions for how to make this work or if the school kept having problems. Is this associated with Serial? I thought I read about them having a new series but have been out of touch enjoying my last hurrah with family before Fall, school, flu, etc.

Every time I see a clip from that interview I think it can't possibly get worse. And then I see the new clip. What a colossal fucking embarrassment that orange asshole is.

This morning I said to K "Old Town is going to flood" and she was amazed for a second, like I'm some incredible psychic. No, kiddo, this happens every time we get heavy rain and storm surge. wetlands destruction + climate change = Old Town underwater

I watched that entire interview.
Now I have to go take a gummy. Because what in the actual FUCK.
I think this is the earliest in the day I’ve ever resorted to gummies. 😬
“It is what it is”?!? Are you FUCKING kidding me? And wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well? And refusing to acknowledge the greatness that is John Lewis because he didn’t come to your inauguration? I’m literally sick to my stomach. Fuck 45.

H finally got his schedule for next week and he got the shift he wanted. Soo much relief.
I do feel for those whose schedule is changing who have to rearrange childcare in less than a week. Their contract requires 2 weeks notice but the university is pretending that telling them it was coming but not what shift they would be working counts

I’m literally sick to my stomach. Fuck 45. MH and I also watched. It was something. The things he thought he was sharing like Jonathan wouldn't know. And yes the part on Maxwell was AWFUL. Like I did not think he could make it worse but he sure did.

Massive explosion in Beirut.
Looks like some kind of minor explosion or fire happened first, then a much larger explosion. I won't post them here, but there are a ton of videos on Twitter.

PS that entire interview is another doozy: I watched the whole interview this morning and shared it on my FB. What a ducking idiot he is. I can’t believe his responses on so many things.
