His Twitter is gold RE Ferguson. This particular tweet was my favorite (said in response to some racist who tweeted at him):

I would beg to differ—you must be getting some pretty stepped on coke. I was in treatment 3 times in 1999 for coke so I have done a bit back in the past. I'd say the first big rip feels like you're walking onstage to accept a Nobel Prize while naked in front of an audience of thousands of the most beautiful people on…

These women and men would ask that you respect their self-chosen identity and not paper it over. Please and thank you.

As depression sufferer, I've used that very description myself.

This kinda says everything about the real motivation behind a lot of catcalling, huh?

I agree! At one point in my early college days I loved Jimmy Johns, and then one day I ate it and was like - this is disgusting. Why is this disgusting all of a sudden?

Oh for god's sake. All of our spirit days in high school were usually based on something harmless, like different decades. OMG, WEAR A POODLE SKIRT AND CAT EYE GLASSES! OMG, WEAR TIE DYE AND JOHN LENNON GLASSES! OMG, CRIMP YOUR HAIR AND WEAR GIANT SHOULDER PADS! (Of course I never participated, because angst.) In an…

I'm really glad the DA is taking this case seriously and prosecuting these young men. And I think they should go to prison. However, I am not in favor of prison sentences for 100s of years. 20-30 years? Okay - they can spend the best years of their adult lives in prison. That seems about right. But if there is…
