My lowest quarantine point? Hmmmm. Maybe when a neo Nazi terror group tried to kill me, I lost my job and COVID budgets ensured I still can’t land a new one.

In all sincerity:
1) “at least I’m not Gwyneth Paltrow” is a personal mantra
2) y’all should thank God for my unemployment because only today’s freelance deadlines stand between you and me ranting in a thread about Goop’s vagina candles
3) bye for now

Racism didn’t magically end then. That’s why a thing called BLM happened.
Okay, kids - I need an entertainment break, so gather round for the latest installment of:
NEO-NAZI NONSENSE STORY TIME!
“Bitchy Old White Men Catfight Edition: Tom Mezger vs. David Duke, Part II”
Refresher:
Metzger and Duke were super tight back in the contemporary white supremacist movement’s Swastika Stone Age. Duke recruited Metzger for the KKK in 1975; Metzger ran Duke’s political campaign.
