Oh good luck. I hope you are doing better than last year and that it keeps getting better.

Some stats if anyone really pisses you off. After hearing some shit this past year I’ve memorized these because holy shit it tells you everything.
53% White Women voted for Trump
68% White Women voted for Roy Moore

Was that the one where she worked in the NICU with the babies but the doctor worked more with the women?

Have you read the Southside? It came out last year from a woman who grew up in Chatham, family moved to Beverly, and she moved to Bronzeville. Really interesting book.

Agree. Did Jezebel do an article on Laura Dern’s character yet? Because she is just so fantastic. I’m a hardcore SW fan and I admit the movie had to sit with me, but the more I think about it the more it keeps going higher and higher on my list.

Its a little like the alt-right women who are calling foul on the sexism they are experiencing in the alt-right community. I just wonder how fucking delusional these people are, I mean what the fuck did they expect? I know what they did, but white people and their delusions is a fucking trip sometimes.

Fuck if only it was just the US where women were killed by men because we refused to date/talk/marry or because we did talk to/date/marry a man.

He wasn’t a single Dad. Listen to the podcast You Must Remember This about John Wayne and WWII. It is well researched and highly entertaining. Actually listen to the entire run on Star Wars. Marlene Dietrich is super fascinating. If anything John Wayne was just a philander and wanted fame and fortune. Not necessarily…

That was one of his mistresses. I’m was referencing Esperanza Baur Diaz aka Chata.

He wasn’t a single parent. But he claimed status as the sole breadwinner. And kept getting the studio to find ways out of it. He was shacked up in a hotel with his mistress during WWII. His first wife was religious who refused to divorce at first. They finally divorced in 1945.

Yeah I found someone with my name from a different state. However a little research shows there should be no one with my name living in that area. Maybe there is but very very doubtful. Mine is in Georgia too. Hmmm...

I am happy Michelle and Barack will show up, dance, toast the couple, and hopefully get shit faced. Like I want that to happen because it would be delightful. Also Megan called Trump a misogynist during the campaign so no love lost there, plus she knows what complicit means unlike Ivanka. And if someone was talking…

That is what confuses me too. Unless like all rich people have a secret bunker. They are all dying too if President Sex Criminal continues to be this idiotic.

Laundry is advanced level, Lena probably still does not do hers. But I knew someone who had to show a rich teenager, I think 17, how to wash their hair.

Every scene in the book with Famine creeped me out. And that part in particular was just so realistically horrifying. Like a demon bursting out of phone and killing all the telemarketers was not as horrifying to me as Famine taking pleasure in seeing people follow his diets and he can see their bones knowing they’ll…

Agreed. There is a book by Dan Savage where he examines marriage. A great interview in the book is with a woman who pointed out if her ex-husband had over dosed and died when they were separated their marriage would have been considered a success. Because they would have then been together for a lifetime. Instead her…

There’s even a PSA.

What?! Which blogs and did you call them out?

The death of your parents sounds unbelievably hard to deal with, my condolences. As for their ashes, I say lean into it, and put up an ofrenda. Get some sugar skulls, pour a drink for you and them, and cook up some good meals.

In the US 1 in 4, check out the book The Sociopath Next Door. Wish I had read it when I worked in politics.

Wow, that sounds fucked. Is there anyone like an advocate helping your friend understand all this craziness? And would the sentences be served concurrently or consecutively?
