Pretty much! I work in this world as well, and on the one hand it is “be innovative” and on the other hand it’s, “not THAT innovative. Grumble grumble grumble.” 

The sexism, racism, ableism, and entitlement to women’s bodies is astonishing:

“I don’t mourn the loss of my pre-baby body; I mourn all the needless fucks I gave about it.”

My knee jerk reaction - even as one of those people on the left - is that Pence would be better than Trump because it seems less likely that he’d start nuclear war over tweets, and whatever damage he does domestically we can HOPEFULLY resist or reverse beyond 2018 (if we can figure out how to get people to the fucking…

This is great... I do think these kids have their heads and their hearts in the right places.

If we’re fawning over Bush 9 years after the end of his presidency, what will be doing to Trump in 2026?

God I fucking hate this family.

1. The government runs slowly by design; this is not necessarily a bad thing. Congressional deadlock is a bummer, especially when stakes are high, but it’s also what keeps us from going from policy-to-policy. Similarly, regulatory agencies have to go through a lot to produce and implement regulations, for good reason.…

That was November 8th.

Bringing up Bebe is not a parenting book - it’s more of a semi-neurotic lady’s description of “how another culture does stuff and on what that is based,” and if you try to apply that to your American life you will fail, unless have grown up French and most crucially are very wealthy. Because real talk, the French…

But like, HOW do you fuck someone that gross?

I’m so sorry for your loss. Keep sharing pictures of your daughter. For loved ones I’ve lost, it gives me great comfort to think of other people pausing and thinking of them, sharing in a bit of that grief and helping me know I am not alone in the process of remembering.

Maybe it’s too apples to oranges to even compare, but this sort of intensifies my paralyzed feeling about what I’m really supposed to do to tactically to spread anti-racism, if not what this guy is doing**. I have been advised repeatedly to “fix my own community” (white people) - even though I don’t live or exist in…

Abortion definitely should not be illegal. Women and women alone carry the physical brunt of childbearing, and if you see women as autonomous, fully-formed individuals (and I do), I think it’s morally reprehensible to obligate them to literally risk their lives for the sake of a “future” or “potential” human,…

Just so much “ugh” to that. Fuck all these mediocre men running things, seriously. I am SO SICK OF IT.

Just want to reiterate that there are so few people who can provide this critical medical service later in pregnancy... and one of them is Dr. Hern of Boulder, CO. He needs to update the security of his clinic... as you can imagine, he’s quite the target of anti-choice groups. If you can donate:

I am sorry Real Janelle! Hang in there, I know pregnancy has the capacity to make women MISERABLE. I myself have 15 weeks to go, and the first 16 weeks of my pregnancy were pretty fucking awful (made worse by the god damn election and my inability to consume the amount of wine I wanted/needed). However, since then it…

Again, agreed!

I see your perspective as well and I don’t disagree. I just also think recognizing the banality of evil is critical, and maybe the way his words came out (and were transcribed to “e-ink”) does a bad job at making that message clear (he isn’t direct about it; I read it that way, others did not). 

I just thought it was a giant Yorkshire pudding and assumed they weren’t really dessert people?
