I was born the child of my parents. I never improved. I have quasi-official permission to haunt the Tennessee State Library and Archives after I die.

Writes @AuntB, the question at the heart of America is whether we’re going to be a diverse country, full of all kinds of people — or if we’re going to be a violent death cult.

I’m a middle class person with an office job and a house I own and I regularly let myself get down to a “good” bra that hurts my shoulder and a ratty old bra that has been my best friend since ninth grade. One of them I just put back together with gorilla glue and duck tape.

Hey, @tnsecofstate, if you need someone to come speak about the need for the state to fund the TSLA well enough that they can have some paper towels that actually absorb water in the bathrooms, DM me.

If Harris wins, I’m going to need her first act to be an executive order about underwire safety.
