LITERATE APE

I Believe...

...that social media created the Donald Trump presidency and social media will protect us from it as well.  You know, provided we can distinguish between the bullshit news and the real stuff...

...that the concept that those oppressed have a special magical wisdom due to the oppression is empowering but silly.  There are PoC who are geniuses. There are PoC who are morons.  The vast majority lie in between.  LIKE ALL OTHER HUMANS.

...that sometimes Life and Art hand you poetry - seeing a young Princess Leia at the end of Rogue One the day before Carrie Fisher died was one of those moments.

...that 2016 was the year that the Gen Xers suddenly realized they, too, will die in due time.

...that, while I appreciate that President Obama is all on the designating national monuments and prepping for life after the White House, I'd really dig it if he would bulrush the GOP and get Merrick on the fucking Supreme Court.
