My husband, in an effort to spoil me, bought me a VIP reception ticket to her NY book tour stop. Meeting her was a thrill that I cannot adequately put into words. It was a brief 10 second photo op. I got to shake her hand, tell her that she has been my hero for 25 years, and to thank her for everything (knowing full…

And she did the right thing and threw her support behind Obama. But I guess when a woman beats an angry white man by 4 million votes, she must be punished.

He was also a real Jim Crow racist. He opposed any civil rights legislation — he set the record for the longest filibuster by a single senator trying to kill a 1957 civil rights act. He said the Civil Rights movement was created by communist agitators (that old boogeyman). In 1948, because Harry Truman desegregated…

I thought I did not give a shit about 45's tweets. I was wrong. I’m multiracial and half Indigenous. If I let myself dwell on it, him referring to Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas is enough to make me cry. This season can be emotionally taxing on Indigenous people. In early October, we deal with the fuss between…

Trump absolutely does not know the word “apoplectic”....

I wanna hear Trump say ‘apoplectic’ in a sentence.

I take off my shoes when I fly and I don’t care if people are horrified. I put them on if I have to get up (which is like never because I will go 12+ hr flights without using a bathroom), I wear socks, and I do not put my feet up and near other people. People are wearing cologne/perfume, drinking alcohol, eating…

Agreed! I also saw an article (written by a woman) that was titled something along the lines of “I love everything about Stranger Things 2 except how Eleven treats Max” and I was like, “Do you not remember being 11-13?” Like, yes, in a perfect feminist world El wouldn’t be jealous, but considering how much trauma…

Is he really that lousy? I mean, all of the interactions we’ve seen with him and Nance have shown he’s thoughtful and caring. If anything, her actions at the party made it seem the exact opposite; she’s a lousy girlfriend.

I stopped hating Steve the instant he decided to hang around and fight the monster back in season one, by midway through season two he’s one of my favorite characters.

Mike misses El so much, that another girl’s presence within the group just heightened his sense of loss and trauma. Given his age I think it’s an understandable reaction.

My favorite thing about this show is how I started out thinking Steve was a douche and during this ep I’m just shaking my head and thinking, “Girl what are you doing? Steve is amazing.”

Excellent! And then Aunt Esther would say...

Whenever I see anyone start to faint or pass out like that, I hear “IT’S THE BIG ONE ELIZABETH!!” in my head.
I know I’m horrible.

Meanwhile Winona Ryder shoplifted once and it nearly destroyed her career! No double standard here, nope.

Just like Jesus!

In other news, Hitler was a hero and martyr because he focused world attention on the dangers of Antisemitism and rampant nationalism and in the end sacrificed his life in order to kill Hitler. 

There are still not enough

I am finally hopeful. I feel this could actually happen (and whoever did it, is amazing.)

I enjoy that Kristen Bell’s daughter made her dress up as Elsa, instead of Bell’s character. Kids are so great at casual evisceration of your ego.
