Have you heard? Racism is over! Hurrah!I heard a while back that there was no more racism, because they changed the voting laws to make it easier to pass racist (anti)voting laws…which of course no one would pass, because there’s no more racism.Except…within hours of hearing that racism was over, a bunch of racists passed a bunch of racist bills to prove how unracist they are now that there’s no more racism.

If there’s one thing that sucks about being a freelancer, it’s figuring out your taxes. I have waiting until the last minute again, thinking I could just spend a few hours with Turbo Tax and it would all be jake. No dice.
