By the way, in the Senate hearing Crews explained very eloquently why fighting back was not an option for him:

I used to perform as a drag king, but honestly, it just got... really tired, really quick. You have such a limited range, in some ways, of the “kind” of masculinity you can play off in a theatrical way to keep the interest of the audience. About half the audience will peace out during a king performance - they’re…

Like, i accepted her apology back then and it doesn’t change anything for me now.

Yeah, this is a “serious journalist” who has earned her position through “merit”:

Yeah, I didn’t write this column, so don’t come at me with that. What I’m highlighting is how White Liberals on Splinter love to tear down Black women who don’t fawn over Bernie Sanders. And as noted by KC, Becky there loves to target Black people on Twitter.

The fact that the “Internet sleuth” suddenly found posts that were WORSE than those originally found last year is enough to cast suspicion on this allegation. Coupled with the fact that the “new” posts didn’t have any comments when the other posts had copious, I am going to call SHENANIGANS on Mr. Sleuth. Joy Reid is…

Wow, I can’t be believe the one author there who seems to be stuck on getting in Twitter feuds with black people UM ER AHHHH I mean “Centrists” who weren’t about that Bernie Sanders life was the person on Splinter to report this.

I actually rather liked the way that Adichie brought it up as a discussion point, talked about how it made her feel, and then handed over to Clinton to explain and talk through it. This led to an interesting discussion with valuable insights and I think that Clinton’s response was actually fantastic, whether she ends…

Pretty rude but then Clinton is a public figure so the order in which she lists her roles might matter or mean something to more than just this writer.

Trans individuals suffer what’s called gender dysphoria. It can cause mental and physical pain. Being deadnamed or misgendered was/is so painful for one of my colleagues, he discribed the pain as feeling like someone was stabing him. I wish the best of humanity would shine during the learning curve that we all are in…

It depends on your reason for mentioning it. If you’re with your kid in a supermarket and you see her on the cover of a magazine, I don’t think it’s particularly hurtful to go, “Oh hey, did you know? That woman used to be known as Bruce Jenner, and she competed in the Olympics. What a fun fact we’ve both shared.”

Caitlynn Jenner is a treasure trove of big easily highlighted things to dislike and mock, which is what makes the people who go out of their way to take her down a peg for being transgendered such massive assholes.

It’s almost as if people who choose to be teachers* have some sort of... desire to improve the world a little.

It’s a truly frustrating mindset to bump up against.

I’ve heard it said multiple times that the two best things ever to happen to Texas were 1) air conditioning and 2) the easy oil running out.

By law, every movie filmed in Milwaukee must start with “Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated...”

No other candidate has ever lost to Trump.

She was invited to speak, and then she was asked a question, which was pointing out the exact same attitude that you’re projecting, how does it feel to constantly be told you’re time is over, sit down and shut up. It’s gotta hurt, and she gave a poised answer, but no doubt it cut. She gave her life to the Democratic…

Oh come on. At this point Clinton could say “we’ve been having nice weather lately” and the media would immediately start screaming “CLINTON OUT OF TOUCH WITH PLIGHT OF FARMERS AS DROUGHT WORSENS!” or “CLINTON ADMITS CLIMATE CHANGE A HOAX!”

I suspect I’m in the minority but this: “...it isn’t necessarily helpful at this very moment.” fucking irks the shit out of me. Like, what, she’s supposed to slink off back to the kitchen where she should’ve stayed to begin with, because that’s what’s HELPFUL for us right now? Fuck that.
