I’m Definitely Not Rooting for Anyone to Get Hurt

The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as the newest Supreme Court Justice—who has as much experience trying constitutional law cases I do playing in the NBA—has gotten people justifiably riled up. In an egregiously short time window, the chief Demon Turtle of the Senate has forced through a LIFETIME appointment more aggressively than Donald Trump forces himself on women. (ha ha! It’s funny because he’s a rapist!) However, even though this miscarriage of justice will literally echo for decades, it’s important that we don’t violate our very super duper important sense of common decency and wish totally justifiable ill will on these shitsacks walking hate crimes “people.” That’s why, today, I am making this declaration: I am definitely not wishing harm on these people.

I most certainly don’t want to see Ted Cruz get lice in his midlife crisis beard. I 100% don’t want to watch Mitt Romney choke during a speech so self-pleasuring it can only be seen on Cinemax After Dark. There is no world in which it would be endlessly funny to see Mitch McConnell get COVID only to have medical professionals refuse to help him because most people don’t die from it anyhow (that’s how it works right, you jowly fucknugget). I definitely don’t want to see any of that. 

No, I’m above wishing ill will on the people who would rather watch your family die in the streets without healthcare before they pay taxes on money their grandfathers made selling slaves in agriculture. Would it be absolutely hilarious to see Lindsey Graham, Brett Kavanaugh, and Clarence Thomas have heart attacks during their weekly backroom tuggy session? Yes, 100%. I’m only human. However, do I wish for those embodiments of mediocre, sniveling male privilege to die that way? Almost definitely not. Because I’m a good person who legally cannot say that I would like that to happen.

These are bad times. The people in charge of our government are bad people. However, we mustn’t stoop to their level. That is why I am imploring you to take this pledge with me: I will not wish harm or death upon the people responsible for stealing this Supreme Court seat, no matter how totally awesome it would be.

This Kitten Is So Cute That You Might Forget that Democracy Is Literally at Stake

OMG. Look at this tiny wittle kitty cat. Just one look at those sweet, caring eyes is almost enough to distract you from the fact that our sitting president is literally using a deadly pandemic to keep people from voting. Almost. But those pawsies! Oh the biscuits they will knead. That biscuit making is so much more fun to watch than watching the Senate’s majority party literally do nothing as millions are disenfranchised by systematic destruction of voting rights. Do you think this kitty witty would tear-y wear-y the Voting Rights Act apart like Mitch McConnell? I sure don’t think so. This little fluffer surely wouldn’t stick its tiny nose up when told that silence is compliance when it comes to the slaughter of black people. Even it knows better than that, because it’s a lovely little sweety and not a careless piece of human shit. Good job, kitty. At least you can do the bare minimum.
