Side note question, does Kinja constantly kick anyone else out of their account? It’s so frequent I end up staying logged out more often than not. Also is embedded Instagram content not working for anyone else?

Hahaha! That's great. I have a Hobby Lobby near me that I refuse to shop at. But I may stop by later this week to do this!

Someone just this morning told me that she doesn’t have much to lose, but a whole lot to gain. I just can’t believe that someone’s view of the situation can be that far around the bend.

The “read my book at the cafe without getting chatted up by an endless line of clueless assholes” reason... if there’s one thing that makes me check MY male privilege it’s that. My God, that’s my idea of actual hell. I can’t even handle it when nice old people want to talk to me on the street about nothing for no

So many responses are women wanting to do normal things but at night. It illustrates how much women have to modify or rather suppress themselves in order to feel safer.

Could this be a “false allegation” purposefully leaked by republicans to “muddy the waters”? The names are, of course, redacted... none of the men are actually coming forward...... and even the rumor that the Republicans are doing that is making me cast doubt......... ugh I am so FRUSTRATED!

*BANGS A SPOON AGAINST A PAN* ATTENTION ATTENTION THERE IS NOW A FIFTH ALLEGATION OF BRETT AND MARK TOGETHER RAPING A WOMAN ON A BOAT IN 1985. This allegation is made by one of the victim’s friends, who went with *another* guy to the boat right after to confront “Mark” and “Brett”, and gets in a physical

Christ, I wish I could give Christine Blasey Ford a hug. This is the truest and most agonizing act of patriotism I have ever seen.

I have had to relive my trauma in front of the entire world, and have seen my life picked apart by people on television, in the media, and in this body who have never met me or spoken with me.

I BELIEVE YOU, CHRISTINE

At an absolute fucking minimum, Judge and Smyth should be subpoenaed to testify. If they don’t do that, the Judiciary Committee will be making it absolutely clear that this is a sham.

JUST WITHDRAW YOUR NAME FROM NOMINATION ALREADY YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT RAPIST. 

I have been pretty terrified for Dr. Ford, going against someone with this much legal experience, but he came off so poorly in that Fox interview that I feel she will be fine in that respect. I think Trump picked him because he is compromised in some way or compromisable (whether it’s these types of allegations or

Oh, “I wasn’t perfect but she and everyone else are clearly just smearing me, plain and simple.”

Oh, also, compare this section in the letter:

A new impression of Kavanaugh, that has only emerged over the past week or so since he started defending himself against these accusation is, he’s not some great a legal scholar. His entire defense seems to be I was such a perfect choir boy in school it is ridiculous to believe these accusations. I didn’t want him

But I was not perfect in those days, just as I am not perfect today. I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many. In retrospect, I said and did things in high school that make me cringe now.

Now playing

Any chance to post this, “take that America!”:

Clicked on the Jane Fonda story to see if she means “fixed” in a veterinary standpoint.
