So many FEELS: mega proud of these ladies, inspired, worried for what they might face at such a young age for fighting the good fight, grateful there is great news put of my home state here. Lol

I do not deny her greatness. I just had to share that the pink dress inspired serious nostalgia and memories of my grandma's bathroom:

Yassss! Now I'm actually interested in seeing it. The possibilities are endless! People should compose their own songs to make the experience complete.

I went to grad school at Tech because my husband (UT undergrad) was at grad school there. (Thank you, eHarmony, but I digress.) I personally knew people who got guns waved at them for having Obama bumper stickers. There were nasty racist flyers on traffic signal posts around town, and on election night I was AFRAID to…

Right?! Seems like philosophical objections to vaccines are a luxury.

Can I just say that as a Chicana it's been especially delightful to hear people blaming immigrant children for the recent outbreak. Just another stinky layer to this ginormous shitpile.

Nooo! That level of idiocy is most likely especially virulent. Don't contaminate yourself!

It's SO HARD to not be understood by people who JUST DON'T GET IT and say STUPID SHIT all the time when you're just doing you! Ugh! He deserves something for the way he's been treated. Some favorable legislation, better pay, I dunno...

Right?! Oh sister we could swap stories. Puppies getting tails docked, the chickens, rabbits, etc. My dad's family was from a ranch in Chihuahua and they were afraid that us kids born in America were growing up soft so they went out of their way to expose us to that stuff to toughen us up. But I'm a super sensitive…

The reason Texas tops the list is Mexicans. I found out the hard way as a kid, when I got attached to the neighbors' goat. Even though I'm Mexican I've never eaten it not would I want to, and I have a complex reaction to seeing one in the back of a pickup when I'm in south Texas. Like "Hahaha a goat in a truck!…

I was raised by a single mom in a border town on literally the wrong side of the tracks. The first of my classmates to get pregnant did so in 8th grade. The WORST thing I ever did was return home an hour after my curfew, one time, the night of my senior prom. It's hard for me not to resent the notion that affluent…

OutSTANDING!

Chupacabras LOVE scarves.

Je t'aime, Cocopop.

Aww, I was thinking more of the substance effects...

At what point do we seriously begin suspecting dementia??

Sounds like he finally hired a good publicist. I'm not even close to a fan but in the past few years I've wondered who he has on the payroll so many times I've wanted to volunteer to take over just to make it all STAHP.

Caretaker, Sam's character in Ghost Rider. The movie isn't great but I remember wondering how I hadn't known Elliott and his badassness before then!

When my religious relatives try to come at me about something, I point to stories like this to explain my lack of faith. Sadly they don't shut up immediately like they should, they try to give bullshit explanations that enrage me even more...
