I’m sorry, weren’t Team DemExit chanting and screaming about this stupid hashtag back at the convention when Hillary got the nomination? If they’re going, fucking go already. Just knock on some doors for local Green Party candidates if you do, so maybe you can get that viable third party you say you want. But stop…

People who have the privilege (be it due to identity, location, or wealth) to storm out of the only major party pushing progressive beliefs because they didn’t get their way are NOT the Dem base.

My fiancée and I joke that we have a weirdly heteronormative relationship in a lot of ways (I’m butch, she’s femme), despite the fact that neither of us specifically set out for it to be that way. And I do think it’s different than heteronormativity in straight relationships, because while we’ve settled into…

The queer women I know who wax all or most of their pubic hair off or like it when their partner does have generally said that (without trying to get into TMI territory here) less hair in that area makes it more pleasant to go down on someone. That isn’t to say that social conditioning plays no role, because I’m sure…

Okay, but what if you’re queer and sleep with other women? I mean, I don’t wax, because I don’t need hot anything that close to my secret garden, but I know lesbians and queer women who do.

Um... so the woman who sponsored a bill to bar same-sex marriage is literally named “Beavers”?

They’re visibly white...

I was just thinking the same thing. Goddammit, Ben’s. That’s one hell of a chillul Hashem you just made.

Well, I hope all those sanctimonious, purity-obsessed assholes who either stayed home or protest voted because “they’re both equally bad” are pleased with themselves. Fuckers.

Ugh, Susan. The bar is so low that if we have to have a Republican Senator, I guess I’d as soon have her as anyone else, but every time I see crap like this from her, I’m fucking thrilled that I have never, not once, cast a vote for her. Or any other Republican. Because no matter how “moderate” they allegedly are,…

This is one of the things I’ve been saying. Oh, they’re going after undocumented migrants? How many Irish pubs in Boston have they raided? Are they going from mall to mall sweeping up Israelis working illegally at those stupid Dead Sea Cosmetics carts? How about tearing through the birth tourism houses in California…

People from the very same poor, rural provinces that Chairman Mao essentially starved to death during the Great Leap Forward still line up by the hundreds to go through his mausoleum in Beijing and pay their respects. And there’s not a shred of irony or snark about it- they are dead serious, never mind the fact that…

I know, right? At this point, I’m up for any, miniscule thing that might distract me from the true horror of what’s going on. I do question (a bit) just how shomer Shabbos Jared and Ivanka actually are, given how quick they were to throw that shit to the wind when the opportunity arose to ride around in cars to…

Well, a lot of his craziest tweets are sent between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday, when Ivanka and Jared would theoretically be observing Shabbos, which has led to some speculation that they’re the only ones capable of prying his hands away from Twitter.

I’ve listed my gender on Facebook as “gender nihilist.” I think we place more emphasis on gender than we need to, but at the same time, I was socialized as a woman, my rights and opportunities are in part predicated based on the fact that society sees me as a woman, so I don’t want to completely divorce myself from…

No worries! Right now I identify as a woman with a side of genderqueer, but I still use female pronouns and everything (although really, I mostly find gender annoying and feel that people assume it tells them things about me that it actually doesn’t). Gender expression and the gender spectrum do fascinate me, though.

I’m a butch (well, soft butch, if we’re getting down to specifics) woman. God only knows what the Trumpster would think if he encountered me in the wild. Probably that I’m only a 1.

Ditto! Although I did get into one of the Seven Sisters, and I am gay as actual fuck, so... well. That attempt to destroy the stereotype didn’t quite work. Ah, well. I can always take comfort in the fact that my suits are better tailored than the Donald’s, and my ties are the right length.

Sounds like it. Tell ‘em you’re obligated to do that under the generalized heading of tikkun olam.

No, that’s not actually true- they’re talking about suspending the interview waiver program, which is different. The IWP is for people who need physical visas to travel, but have either held a valid U.S. visa in the last five years (and have never been refused a visa) or are under age 14 or over age 70.
