Ahh yes, that’s that good old non-apology.

My raises end up being the rough equivalent of $50 and a pack of smokes and that’s not likely to change, so fuck it. Gimmie the vacation.

I’m operating under the “pick your top 2-3 causes” idea and going with that. For me personally it’s mostly centered around reproductive rights and access to those services because that touches so many other areas.

The food IS delicious! But you’re right, that’s not the only reason we live here.

This right here. Do people think we don’t realize how screwed up it is here? People talk every day about acknowledging your privilege - well here some of us are - acknowledging it every day by showing up on behalf of those who don’t have it instead of bailing on them. Why show up at the legislature on behalf of a…

Thank you. I’m over the sentiment of “everyone in Texas is an asshole” mentality. Bailing to California/NY/wherever isn’t going to help, and suggesting liberal/pro-choice people leave is exacerbating the problem. Don’t lament how this will affect poor and isolated women and out the other side of your mouth heckle the…

Seriously, we went down to Big Bend and had to stop in Terelingua and forgot sunscreen. A normal sized bottle was $13!!!!! But where else are you going to buy it, you know?

Seriously, we’ve driven from Austin out west (Alpine/Marfa/Big Bend area) and on I-10, there’s just nothing for hours, not even gas stations. Get gas where you can, because you’re not going to see it again for quite a while. You don’t want to run out of gas out there, because there’s nothing in any direction. And once…

Right there with ya. Texas, daily workout, used to play a sport that required a helmet. In the winter I can try to stretch three days, but summer? Absolutely not.

I am tearing up at my desk right now. I was in the chambers for Wendy Davis’ historic filibuster and stayed until after midnight, when we finished chanting to Kill the Bill. Having the clock turn over past midnight and being there to cheer with a massive crowd of people that filled the chambers and the halls of the…

If the mixtape is any indication of tone, I think keeping that dark, unsettling feeling will definitely be possible. There’s a decent amount of Trent Reznor + Atticus Ross (Gone Girl), NIN, HTDA on there, so I’m hopeful things will stay dark and broody feeling.

Word was that at the time, shows set in rural-esque areas/small towns were going out of fashion, hence the extra digit. Because that helped.

I will never forget watching her filibuster from the balcony of the Texas House. Watching her go to bat like that was truly incredible. It makes me misty just thinking about it.

Oh crap. Please don’t tell me it’s Whetstone :(

Ughhhhhh plenty of people went to church with BTK, too.

This schadenfreude is the best schadenfreude.

Out of all of the responsibilities I’ve blown off, birth control has never been one of them. Getting pregnant terrifies me. Neither my husband nor I have ever wanted to have children. We don’t hate kids - we just don’t want our own. And I feel shitty that I just qualified my/our desire not to have them, because nobody…

Texas resident here, and I’m ready to dance this dance. Again. It’s fucking tiring, but let’s go, assholes. I was there for Wendy Davis’ filibuster, cheered at 12:01 when the session closed, and got three hours of sleep that night because of the adrenaline.

Sharpening is fine as long as you have one of the larger-size sharpeners, or one with the two different sizes.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake aren’t going to vaccinate their children! Sources say Jessica “feels that vaccination could cause complications.”
