What is it about these men who have to categorise every woman into a box of “would fuck” “would not fuck” (see his feud with Taylor swift as well). It says so much about his opinion of women that that’s what his sisters-in-law are reduced down to and says so much about them that they’re not calling out this bullshit.

Aaron Persky was a bad judge and the fact that he was removed by California voters is a good reminder of what the voices of a younger generation are capable of.

People said the same thing when large parts of Tennessee burned right after the 2016 election because “they all voted for trump anyway.” We didn’t all vote for him, and even those who did do not deserve to literally die in a fire or lose everything. Although I will say I think in general most people don’t believe that

Natural disasters don’t care if you’re wealthy or poor, and human suffering is the same. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita took mansions and hovels in my home state of Louisiana. We still feel the loss keenly after all these years. There are always people who will lack empathy for human suffering. My deepest sympathy for

Last summer a house my parents owned (inherited from my grandpa) burned down in a wild fire near Oroville... the house couldn’t be insured due to wild-fire risk. My cousin, who lived up the road, also lost his home; and my dad’s cousin lost his cabin. I don’t get how anyone could have a “fuck em” attitude, regardless

Yes. Mendocino county has a lot of poverty. Sure there are some people who have lake houses or wineries or whatever up there, but it’s mostly poor to lower-middle class rural folks. It’s also very remote and isolated. The people who died in Redwood Valley last year weren’t vacationing yuppies, they were part of the com

Oh, and...FUCK YOU TRUMP. We do not need anything from you or your administration. I’d rather fry and die than accept anything from your garbage can admin. Do me a favor, Trump? KILL YOURSELF. 

While not very many homes and no lives have been lost in the Mendocino Complex fires so far, the Carr fire that burned through suburbs of Redding and rural Trinity and Shasta counties destroyed over 1,000 homes. Last year, Santa Rosa lost over 500 to the Tubbs fire. Fire season isn’t officially “over” until October.

My heart. I’ve spoken at length this evening about what’s going on in NorCal. My heart is broken. I have so many things to say, yet I just can’t right now. Oh Mendo.  

It’s really important for people to understand where this fire is and the community it is impacting.
It is in Lake County: one of the poorest counties in all of California that neighbors some of the wealthiest counties.
Lake County has been hit with so many fires in the last three years that at this point there is

Also, remember that Sessions has repeatedly directed the DOJ to “investigate” whether any of Hillary’s many supposed crimes” merit prosecution, and . . . nothing has happened? If there was anything worth pursuing, does anyone believe they wouldn’t be coming after her?

Trump: Yes, my son WAS attempting to collect dirt on Hillary from foreign adversaries but it “went nowhere”. It’s like that one time I tried to poison my wife but she didn’t die so what’s the big deal?

Oh fun! I closed on a house yesterday and am laying with my big ass sliding door open to the hum of traffic down on the street. It’s the best - congrats!

My house is on fire. Literally. My house is in the direct violent, ferocious path of the Ranch Fire in Lake County. I had just moved there in January for a job. I’m. Bit desolate and in a daze. Most of all I’m upset with myself for not being stronger. 

I’ve been trying to find a show since I caught up on The Expanse (which even better than what They say). I finally settled on Legion, which is EXTREMELY my kind of shit and I’m so here for it.

Bought a house this week. Moved in and have been unpacking since. I think one of my favorite things is hearing the crickets at night outside my window which didn’t happen in my apartment.

Just finished GLOW, probably going to start Castle Rock. I’m loving MasterChef, and the series finale of The Originals was excellent, as was that series. Haylijah forever! 

Ugh, one of those “I put everything aside for my job, why can’t you” types. Must be nice to not have a life outside the office, Asshole.

I had to ask for a new supervisor at work today. I’m not thrilled to have to do it, but I did.

Domestic violence is wrong no matter who commits it.
