Guess I'm officially old. Fell down the stairs (only a few) and now I'm stuck in bed, sore from ankle to neck. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Stay young as long as you possibly can!

crawling the web trying to make it through the madness. views are mine and mine alone. yes it was only a joke, unless I was being serious, then it might have been sarcasm.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Thread on a wild yet not uncommon exchange today. I share as an anecdote of how embedded racism is in our society & how close it's tied to economics
A white guy named "Bill" age ~60 says to, "Where are you *from* from?"
Me: [sigh] I'm from Pakistan. [I go back to my phone]
Bill: Pakistan? What do you do for a living?
Me: Civil rights lawyer
Bill: I'm a lawyer too! But I stay away from race & women stuff. Last thing I need is to be called racist or accused of sexual harassment
Me: Huh?

@QasimRashid Of course YOU did! You always include the important details, that's why I follow you on all the things.
@QasimRashid Important detail that seems to be glossed over by both sides is the $1.7T is over the next 10 years! Not all at once, not each year, but over the next 10 years. Maybe we need to spin it into the defense budget to protect those children falling into that 30% and get the attention they deserve.
@malwaretech @juddlegum is posting a thread on it now: https://journa.host/@juddlegum/109525655785185147
