So I'm petting my cat, saying, "You're a good cat, aren't you? You're a very good cat." When I suddenly realized: my GOD that's patronizing.

And that goes double for mimes.
The biggest problem with the term “white privilege” is that it was created by white people. Just another attempt by white people to make everything about them.

Movie Review: Aaltra
If your complaint up to this point has been “not enough movies about disagreeable men in wheelchairs” and/or “not enough non-Russian films about tractors” then I direct you to the Belgian film AALTRA. It also features Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki (Leningrad Cowboys) in an acting role.

Insult to Injury

For example, every medical billing department has a team on staff to add insult to injury. They wanted to know if they could keep them under the new law.
And the answer was, “Yes, if you like them.”

Postage past due
I received an Xmas card saying, “Don’t get trapped in a snow globe.” Now I am trapped in a snow globe. I have almost no one to blame but mysel…

Years ago postage stamps were bothersome. With the advent of self-adhesion, we finally licked that sticky little problem. Progress, but at great price.
