Also, I cannot believe people’s willful ignorance about the (underlying) reason they broke up: he wanted kids, she didn’t.  I don’t think there’s any better reason for a couple to split than differing desires for parenthood.

You know, for me, I’ve always admired the symmetry of the swastika, and I just thought it would really contrast nicely with the grey of the koala corpse hats.

To be fair to Buttigieg (the first and last time I will ever utter that phrase), the reason he said he couldn’t read LGBTQ media anymore was because of criticisms about whether he was gay enough or too gay or whatever. Seems like relevant context. 

Paris Hilton was an omen none of us heeded. 

OK, I thought it was just me missing something. It sure as hell sounds like he succeeded in getting her to drop the project. Oprah confounds me. She blindly supports hucksters like Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil, but has no backbone about something like this. Ugh. Oprah. Boooo.

I think the word she was looking for is “succeeded”. He attempted to get her out, and he was successful. He got what he wanted.

O_o what are the annotations tho?!?!

I do not recall signing off on this trade.

Weird flex but okay...

I am truly grateful she came through with her story here vs elsewhere, particularly as she’s getting comfortable.

Jailing librarians. Let that one sink in.

Ah, yes, at the complex intersection of mental health, race, class, and gender, of course it’d all come down to your dick.

Yup, that is a bedazzled gimp mask.

but what really elevates this whole fit is that bedazzled (or whatever wealthy people call it) ski mask.

I would accept that if felon didn’t explicitly mean that someone had been convicted of a crime. You’re not a felon until you’ve been convicted, and very few rapists ever see a courtroom (or an interrogation room), let alone a conviction. (The question, obviously, misuses “felon” as well, unless all three suspects have…

Meanwhile welfare is like “Do you really need to eat every day?"

And many have pointed out it is offensive, yet the name continues.  Yes.  Please continue to Yoko the female partner rather than viewing it as a partnership.  

It’s leaving me feeling poorly about Jez as well. The nickname plays into horrible stereotypes, and the fact that a feminist website is using to talk about a feminist is frankly disgusting.  Yes, she’s rich, yes she married royalty, but she is still a woman fighting for other women, and being bashed left and right…

I never had too much wrapped up in the “pretty” part of this equation, in large part because of dysphoria, but there’s another angle to the pretty, crazy girl that hecked me up - the brilliance. When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a tween, everyone around me was busy reassuring me that it didn’t make me…

Really wish Jez would respect the Sussexes a little bit and drop the stupid nickname. I hate that so much. Meghan has been through enough already, as Jez used to point out. Yes she is a rich famous person but so are many women Jez crushes on (Cardi i.e). She seems to be a charitable and decent person who got caught up…
