Post-Election Day 14: 10 Most Polarizing Foods in America
For the record, I have eaten everything on this list more than once.
Coming soon: my recipe for Summer Squash Casserole with Spam!
Post-Election Day 13: Superiority
Superiority. Yup, we all do it.
Guilty as charged.
Post-Election Day 12: Dotty’s Realization
Post-Election Day 11: 7 Things We Can Agree On
FULL DISCLOSURE: When I visit my family we have a “no poop” rule with my niece (6) and nephew (9) because all they want to talk about are poops and farts, and it just gets exhausting after a while.
And here I am drawing poop.
Shame on me.
SUPERIORITY ALERT: If you think fear wasn’t a motivating factor in this election on just about every level, then I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to be superior and say YOU ARE WRONG.
Post-Election Day 10: The Popular Vote
Would anyone care to take pity on a poor cartoon character by sending her a ticket to Hamilton?
Pretty please?
Post-Election Day 9: This is Not Normal
Post Election Day 8: How Did We Get Here?
I consider myself very fortunate to have spent a large portion of my adult life learning, teaching, and writing about significant historical ruptures and the movements that came out of them.
This is definitely a rupture.
And it’s definitely time to get moving. (And I don’t mean to Canada.)
Post-Election Day 7: Make America Great Again
My heart is going out to all the immigrant children (and their families) that I have taught over the years in NYC; to all my gay, black, brown, Muslim, and Jewish friends and colleagues; to all the women who have been harassed, discriminated against, and objectified; and to anyone else who doesn’t feel safe or feels like America voted against THEM in this election.
Dotty’s got your back.
Post-Election Day 6: So Much Hate
This was the day I decided that it was harmful to my health to be on Facebook. I have never seen so much venom, hate, and rage expressed.
But the scariest thing was how quickly it fueled my own hate and anger.
No good can come of this.
