I hope Mrs. Obama’s message won’t be lost here, because it is an important one. She ended her speech by saying that education is the key to a good life, that she had done her best on every test, every paper, and every assignment, and that she hoped that the young black girls in the audience would do the same, because…

I’m trying not to cry reading your comment. What you had to deal with is absolutely fucking ridiculous and I’m so glad you’re above all of it. I don’t care if someone gives a speech tailored to women, to black women, to white women, to black men, to Hispanics, to whatever fucking demographic; if it helps in any way,…

This is going to be a strong sentiment but here goes.

This is awesome! Very well said, and she looks fucking amazing as always.

But reading the linked article about how some people find it problematic annoys me a lot.
Why do some white people always have to make it about themselves? This is basically the same as MRAs turning conversations about feminism to “men’s rights”.…

People are complicated. There’s also the fact that he was active in some pretty wonderful philanthropy as well. Doesn’t negate the ickiness, but it does speak to how we’re all complex flawed human beings. That said, RIP Paul Walker even though I don’t find him a particularly compelling thespian outside of being really…

I like songs like Pink Houses or Born in the USA which sound patriotic but are critical of the US but straight up patriotic songs sound a little too much like propoganda

If I ever get pregnant, I am getting an abortion. This is already a pre-determined fact, and it’s one I inform all my partners of so they’re forewarned. That would be my version of sinking or swimming.

It’s cool that it turned out like that for you guys though, I’m happy for you. :)

Now the IRS will want some of that $$$. I took a tax course last year and got a kick out of the “embezzlement and extortion income” must be reported.

OFFS this is a thing in the world?

I’ve been on here for a few months and with utmost sincerity, I must say that I am beginning to look forward to your posts.

I’m not sure. The “tee-hee, fly over states!” thing seems like something Jezebel writers do a lot, but this actually seems like real curiosity. So I’m going to take it as that and not get offended. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My parents voted for him. They like that he’s a “straight talker.” I guess they’d vote for a supervillain, too, as long as he was one of those crass supervillains, not one of those smooth-talking, British-sounding ones. My sister LIKES that he’s cutting people off of social services, not connecting the dots that he…

LePage is embarrassing to me as a Mainer, but at least heroes like Joanne Twomey have been fighting him as much as possible at the local level.

And also, he’s basically guaranteeing that wealthy towns will have excellent services and reasonable tax rates, while poorer towns will get screwed.

He's fucked everyone over. This video makes me so mad, because this is his MO. He makes terrible policy decisions, and then when he gets called in it he ends the discussion, by either refusing to comment or, in this case, ending the damn town hall meeting early. I Hate him so much.

Yeah, he’s the actual worst. I wish he would drown in a vat of Vaseline.

Just to provide a little context of why a mayor would be so pissed about getting rid of the income tax: for LePage to do this (and seem anti-tax), he had to get rid of Maine’s revenue sharing, in which the state gives all municipalities cash to help subsidize the costs of schools, infrastructure, etc. However, by…

Target is just the best ever. Here’s another one of my favorite “boys” finds:

Love her!

And for one final time, everyone overlooks Neice Denise. Uh-gain.
