Carlos doesn’t like kids; he says they’re loud and dirty and
obnoxious and the only thing he likes about them is when I am asked if I like
children and I say: “Yes. Deep-fried with a side of Ranch dressing.” But I digress. Carlos was set to translate at the courthouse
here in Camden and I dropped him off on my way to work. He knows the building
very well and finds his way around with ease. The courts were slightly back up
so he sat on a bench in the hallway waiting for the lawyer and client to be called
for their hearing. As he sat there, two screaming girls were running amok in
the hallway and finally their mother put the kibosh on the shenanigans. So,
they walked to the bench where Carlos sat and began talking to him:
And that started a long game of how many fingers am I holding
up, until one girl asked him how he got to the courthouse:
And he talked about counting steps and listening to the
sounds in the hallways to find the elevators and the stairs and the courtroom
doors, and those little girls sat with him and questioned him and studied him
and chatted with him learned a little something from him about being
differently abled. I said:
And I wasn’t wrong. But he is far sweeter and more patient
with kids than he likes to let on. He’s really a sweetheart. |

This Tuxedo Says is from July 2020: "Tuxedo has been trying to explain the asshattery of All Lives Matter on Facebook for weeks now … this time he chose a direct route."  And we can continue to do that every day since then, y’all. |

Right before other state lawmakers were set to be sworn in,
Texas Democrat Representative Venton Jones asked his boyfriend, Gregory Scott
Jr., to marry him: “In a time when our love and our very existence are challenged, often in the halls of this very building, this moment is a reminder that love conquers all. Gregory and I stand as proof that progress is unstoppable, and no amount of hate can erase the truth of who we are.” In Texas, y’all; in the statehouse! |

Of note, the Democrats gave us our first African American
President and our first African American Vice President. Republicans gave us our first Convicted Felon President. See, there is a difference. |

Last week on Jeopardy, journalist and hottie Drew Goins
showed up to the competition in a sweater that gave us well-rounded pecs and
nipples to gawk at. PS He won. |

South Carolina’s Nancy Mace descended even further into
madness this week after Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett called her a
child: “I am no child! Do not call me a child. I am no child. Don’t even start, I am a grown woman, 47 years old.” And then Nancy Mace, a grown woman, not a child, asked
Crockett if she wanted to “take it outside.” Doesn’t get more childish, Nancy. |

As The Felon prepares to return to the White House, Amazon
has cut commitments protecting Black and LGBTQ+ people. Statements that said
Amazon supported the rights of transgender people and LGBTQ+ and Black
employees disappeared from a company webpage in December. So, if you’re trans, Black or Gay, Amazon has clearly stated
they don’t give a fuck about you and if you still want to shop there because
it’s easy peasy, then maybe you don’t give a fuck about equality either. |

When I heard that Carrie Underwood was going to perform at
The Felon’s inauguration, my first thought was to boycott her music and then I
realized I have been boycotting her music since she first started singing. PS The flag is not meant to be worn as a tank top, hon; that’s
not patriotism. |
