I watch Blackish. I don’t watch anything with Charlie Sheen and never have. You want me to give Chris Brown ‘a break’... why? And do you think that him beating up Rihanna was the most recent violent thing he did?

Chris Brown was on Blackish. Either the stars of the show didn’t see a problem with it while posting on social media about female empowerment, or the executive producers didn’t care about the stars’ opposition to it. Or viewers who would be offended by it.

I think that there is a lot of oxygen expended on a minuscule portion of the population.

Given the amount of homophobia and transphobia in the black community, this isn’t just a ‘white issue.’

Otherwise it’s just an unfunny version of those man babies who pop up to say “Muslims are killing women, why don’t you care about that?” and “others have it worse, so your issues don’t matter.” bullshit.

Well, now I’m considering re registering as an independent, because women’s rights are not up for negotiation.

Oh well, it’s only women dying. Not real people.

Prior to the November elections, I got a letter in the mail from Planned Parenthood endorsing a republican state senator. I never heard the candidate express an opinion about abortion rights, but their endorsement for her was enough for me to break with my straight dem ticket and vote for her. She won with an…

Shut the fuck up. Our rights are being threatened by our own side. Literally no one cares right now about how to pay for something we soon may not be able to access. And I personally don’t give two flying fucks about however #triggered you are at the thought that you may have to contribute toward a woman’s medical…

If it comes to one candidate that ensures women get fucked and one candidate that ensures everyone gets fucked, I’ll vote for everyone to get fucked. I’m all about equality.

A woman’s right to choose is not negotiable.

No they fucking won’t.

Look how easy people in power decide that the easiest thing to do to win a potential few extra votes is to fuck over women. It’s disgusting.

Yeah, well. I have a litmus test and I’m a voter.

So the democrats who take back congress won’t actually look like democrats.

My parents live in state about 3 hours away. I’m married, if that makes a difference, so holidays are split or every other year or something. I typically don’t see my parents on their birthdays. Sometimes they want to visit for mine. I don’t see my mother on Mother’s Day every year. I can only guarantee I see them at…

I’m not in a different state but about 4 hours away. I usually only make the drive for major holidays e.g. Thanksgiving, Christmas. I think my mom would like me up more often but it’s not always convenient. I have dogs so the short flight wouldn’t work. And finding boarding or other arrangements for longer stays can…

When I lived in the city, I was expected to help with and show up for everything. Then I moved out of state and it was the same for a couple years. Over time, the more you’re absent, the expectation of you being there for every event should wane. Even now, if the parents absolutely insist, saying “I don’t have money…

When I lived across the country from my family, I came home once a year on Christmas. It was rough and I eventually moved back to the same state. Now I live about 400 miles away from them so we see each other probably 4 times a year? If we’re lucky. On the other hand, it is sometimes depressing to have to spend…

Need advice/opinions about mothers: I’m 31. My mom’s in her 60s. For really the first time ever, I’m living truly away from family. (other times were school). My mother got really upset that I made other plans on her birthday. I live two states or 380 miles away. I didn’t assume I was expected to go home, and she…

I am 133 days sober today. I’m not white knuckling it, but I did take some muscle relaxers the other day for some extreme pain and the float feeling was nice.
