Given that the Confederate battle flag only started flying above the capitol there in the 1960s as a protest against federal involvement in the civil rights movement (i.e. as a symbol of their opposition to civil rights), it’s totally mind-blowing that we’re having this conversation in 2015, and that it wasn’t removed…

From an Alabama attorney general:

That’s disingenuous, Stig. Not blaming you, I know that’s what they sell in Alabama and Florida, but they adopted those flags around the turn of the 20th century, at the same time that other southern states were adopting variants of the stars and bars. Nobody in the South was honoring Spain. Those flags are…

I love these governors who like to split the baby. “ok, it is a little bit about the dead people, stay calm, dear African-American citizens” // “it’s not about the dead black people, white folks. These businesses and organizations are up my ass and I can’t deal with their shit, so we have to remove the distraction.”

Here’s to hoping that the Supremes find in favor of marriage equality tomorrow (or maybe Friday), and it’ll be a great week for LGBT rights and an added reason to party this weekend! :D

I’m always curious about how many straight people even know about Stonewall. I don’t mean that judgmentally, it’s not like it’s in the history books, I just wonder.

...he’d have spoken it.

You only need $200 and a few pieces of paper to propose a ballot initiative in CA. Getting it through is a completely different matter.

and how much WATER-BASED lube are they using? wasters!

I’d be far more horrified if I wasn’t so God damned impressed at the batshit levels of tomfuckery written there. That is just... Wow! This guy pissed away $200 on pure unadulterated what the fuckidness. He’s like a Jedi of bullshit.

Who can worry about our devastating drought when consenting adults are having THE SEX somewhere?

Why can’t you tolerate my intolerance?

Just checked my calendar to make sure I was living in the right year. I don’t even know what I just read.

That’s how you hold a baby, right? Vertically from around the shoulder while his legs dangle and he drinks from a bottle. I’m no parent, but I’m sure that’s how it’s done.

Probably as in one of these days, a dad holding a baby while making a catch will misjudge the ball’s trajectory and let the baby take a shot to the face. Likely wouldn’t go well for the kid.

as in that dude was barely holding onto that baby.

Yeah, I think it being a nice gesture is a fair assessment and my Dad definitely was all smiles. :) Also, it was kinda fun to prove to my hubs that his reluctance to believe in the supreme sentimentality of the Rainbow Connection was just plain misguided as there was not a dry eye in the house among my friends. When I…

My husband threw me a surprise wedding. We had gotten engaged a few weeks before and I was thrilled but seriously freaked out about the idea of planning a wedding. My family always throws this huge ultraformal New Year’s party, and that year my best cousin was weirdly invested in what dress I was wearing to it, but I…

This is the greatest wedding article I've ever read.
