I’ve taken Friday off as well. Probably gonna have a hot bath and smoke a blunt as democracy collapses around us.

White women who want to broadcast their politics (in addition to actually taking action, ahem) could also just wear a t-shirt from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Amnesty, SPLC, CAIR, BLM, NOW, NPR, DNC ... the possibilities are endless. Just anything at all besides almost literally #notallwhitewomen.

White women who are attending this rally did not vote for Trump, and it does no good to fight with them as a group.

supposedly this child is actually the child of a child Janet had and hid in the 90s, and is being used as a ploy to explain the cancelation of her failed tour and also as a way to make her seem vital and young or something.

Go you. I shaved my head last summer and everyone kept trying to philanthropize it: “Oh, did you do St. Baldrick’s? Or donate it to charity?” “No,I just wanted it gone so I could stop wasting time preening myself.” As if a woman’s appearance/shaved head has to be an act of generosity or sacrifice.

This year is kicking my heart in the balls.

Yes yes. There’s a meme going around that Bowie is picking a select few, one by one, to join him in his amazing alternative universe. I kept picturing Carrie kicking up her feet and saying, “I love and miss her, but this is the first day I’ve had without mama drama. “ And Bowie puts on his sly Labyrinth smile and…

Your last part is true, though. We are alive, and life, at it’s core, is a place to see beauty and love and grace right alongside the heartache. Grief shrouds our ability to see both in kind. I don’t think I ever questioned my will to live, just how I was going to live without her. I think that speaks to what you’re…

For what its worth: as a believing person nothing shakes my faith more than seeing parents - or even grand parents - bury thier kids/grandkids. And I also just want to punch anyone who says it’s Gods plan, blah blah blah. Like, what are the bereaved supposed to say to that ‘Thanks a fucking lot, God’? (I do believe…

I think that’s the worst feeling in the world- when a loss hits you so hard that you don’t think you can live anymore. For about 6-ish months after my mother died, I was convinced that I myself was about to die of the plague or Legionnaire’s disease or a heart attack or Amtrak accident or elevator accident or dog…

I nearly had a rage stroke every time someone said that to me about my friend (and it happened a lot as she was from a very religious small town). It’s such an insensitive thing to say to grieving family members. The sooner people understand that and stop saying those things, the better.

My beliefs aside, I do find it very insensitive when people say ‘it’s part of God’s plan’ or ‘we’ll see her again some day.’ Like, no, I don’t want to believe that God purposely killed my loved one and as for being reunited with the deceased person - that’s usually one of the last things a grieving person needs to…

God, but don’t I understand this impulse. I wanted to crawl into my friend’s casket with her last year. I still do. I wanted to be with her. I wanted to have a glass of wine with her. And more than anything, I wanted to be the kind of person who believed that we would be reunited in some kind of afterlife. The thought…

If there is an after life, I like to think Carrie is chiding her mother saying “Jesus, could you not even give me 24 hours before you stole my limelight?!”

I saw this from Patton Oswald’s twitter, and I agree, I think Carrie spoke through this person.

False Equivalency Alert

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.

So slaves killing white people about three hundred years ago in Haiti to escape brutal forced servitude, is the cause of white genocide today in the US and other countries? And also the reason the right hates “us.”
